Disability

Northside Citizens Information Service is fully accessible for people with disabilities and also provides outreach services at local centres for people with disabilities. Typical queries relating to disability issues cover the full range of information topics, such as:

Social Welfare payments such as Disability Benefit or Invalidity Pension

Assistance with travel and transport, such as Mobility Allowance or tax relief for disabled drivers and passengers

Health services such as assistance with medical aids and appliances, Medical Card and Drugs Payment Scheme

Housing – Disabled Persons Housing Grant

Equality – the right of people with disabilities to access goods and services without discrimination

Queries also come from people who are caring for a person with a disability. Carers have entitlements to benefits such as Carers Allowance or Home Carer’s Tax Credit.
