Invitation to CPAG report launch: "Barriers to Support"
November 17, 2016 at 3:32 PM
*From Child Poverty Action Group*
When: Monday November 21, 2016 from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
Where: Otara Music Arts Centre, Corner Newbury Street and Bairds Road, Otara Town Centre, Auckland.
CPAG warmly invites you to attend the report launch of "Barriers to support: Uptake of the child disability allowance in Otara". The report will include a background of the CDA and disability rates data as well as the purpose, method and findings of the survey on Child Disability Allowance uptake in Otara. The survey was developed together by CPAG, Disability Connect and Otara Health Chartiable Trust.
The Child Disability Allowance (CDA) is a non-income tested payment, paid to the carer of a child under 18 years with a serious disability or health condition in recognition of the extra care andattention required for that child.
Research has shown that there is a relationship between disability including chronic health conditions, and poverty and that children with a disability are more likely to live in low income households.
The 2015 Child Poverty Action Group report ‘It shouldn’t be this hard:children, poverty and disability’ also highlighted that the Child Disability Allowance is underpaid and difficult to access for some families in need.
Considering this relationship between disability and low income households, this preliminary study set out to examine rates of disability and levels of access to the CDA in Otara. Additional aims of this project included to assist Otara families with disabled children who are not receiving their entitlements to a CDA togain these entitlements and to document participating families’ interactions with Ministry of Social Development to gain a CDA.
