The bill was adopted by consensus which had combined the “persons with disabilities act” by the government and “assistance for persons with disabilities act” by Vilifushi MP Riyaaz Rasheed. The bill had also included thalassemia patients as persons with disabilities.

According to the bill the allowance would be paid to all in the disabled people’s registry.

The bill had called to provide equal opportunities in government decision-making, to protect their human rights, special protection, health, and education, civil and individual rights which persons with disabilities are entitled to, without any discrimination.

The government is also providing MRF 2000 per month for all the people above the age of 65.
