Court Has Obligated The Government To Give Citizen Full Financial Privileges For His Mentally Challenged Child

The court has obligated the government, represented by its “Public Authority for Affairs of People with Special Needs” to give a citizen full financial privileges and allowances for his mentally-challenged child, ruling that the payment should be made from the time the mental condition started and not from the day the disability certificate was issued. Presenting the citizen was Lawyer Ayed Al-Rashidi, who stressed that his client’s son was affected with permanent mental disability from the time he was born. According to law No. 8/2010 related to the rights of people with special needs, the concerned authority is supposed to pay allowances for the child and his mother since the day the law was passed until the day when the disability certificate was issued. However, the authority refused to pay the allowances. Lawyer Al-Rashidi explained that the law was not passed before the child was born. However, he deserves the allowances and financial rights from the day the law was passed and not from the day the disability certificate was issued.
