Dear all,
I received the enclosed circular from Shri Keshav and I am indeed thankful
to him and also I am sorry that i
spread the word about the previous circular which actually I got from a
pensioner association on 7th feb. But I am thankful and grateful to
the Ministry of Health which has acted with alacrity on the subject.
Government of India
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
Department of Health & Family Welfare
Nirman Bhawan, New Delhi 110 108
No: 4-24/96-C&P/CGHS (P) Dated, the 4th November, 2010
MEMORANDUM
Eligibility of permanently disabled son of a CGHS beneficiary to avail
CGHS facility - relaxation of condition about disability.
The undersigned is directed to invite reference to the Office Memorandum, of
even
number dated 02.08.2010/03.09.2010, vide which the scope of entitlement of
permanently
disabled sons of CGHS beneficiaries was expanded to include sons of CGHS
beneficiaries
who were suffering from 80% of more of disabilities as defined in Section 2(i)
of The
Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full
Participation)
Act, 1995 (No: 1 of 1996) and Clause U) of Section 2 of National Trust for
Welfare of
Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple
Disabilities Act, 1999
(No: 44 of 1999). Subsequent to the issue of the Office Memorandum, requests
have ben
received from beneficiaries that the level of 80% disability was very harsh and
also that
their sons though suffering from disability, but are below 80% disability
level, are dependent
on them financially and otherwise also, and want that the minimum level
disability should
be reduced from the present level of 80%.
2. After careful examination of the matter in consultation with the Directorate
General
of Health Services, it has been decided that sons of CGHS beneficiaries
suffering from
40% or more of one or more disabilities as defined in Section 2(i) of The
Persons with
Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation)
Act, 1995
(No: 1 of 1996) and Clause U) of Section 2 of National Trust for Welfare of
Persons with
Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999
(No: 44 of
1999), will be eligible to avail CGHS facilities provided they are financially
dependent on the
CGHS beneficiaries.
