Minister of Family and Social Services Derya Yanık announced that the Ministry started depositing a total of 2.432.000.000TL Home Care Allowance this month to provide economic support to citizens with severe disabilities and their families in need of care.

Minister Derya Yanık reminded that with the Home Care Allowance, which was initiated in 2006 with the idea that "persons with disabilities should be supported primarily by their families, citizens who have a relative with severe disabilities in need of care and who are unable to work due to their care, are supported".

Minister Yanık stated that the Home Care Allowance for the January-July period of 2023 increased from 3.336 TL to 4.336 TL and added, "This month, we have started to deposit a total of 2.432.000.000 TL Home Care Allowance to the accounts of citizens with disabilities and their families in need of care. This month, 568.000 citizens are benefiting from Home Care Allowance. I hope that the payments will be beneficial to all citizens with disabilities. I would also like to emphasize that our vision for the Century of Türkiye in disability is to ensure the active and independent participation of persons with disabilities in all areas of social life without discrimination in their own social environment through the act of the vision of a society that leaves no one behind."
