Nationwide: personal assistant platform for people with disabilities now open

The electronic application platform for submissions to the “Personal Assistant for People with Disabilities” programme opened nationwide on Wednesday, 16 September 2026, according to a report from neosagon.gr. From Wednesday, 16 September 2026, people with disabilities across the country can submit their applications electronically to join the programme, which provides financial support reaching up to €939, as the report states. The opening of the process applies to citizens in all regions of the country without geographic restriction, as the programme has nationwide scope. The exact amount of support per beneficiary, according to what has been disclosed so far, may vary from case to case, with a maximum limit of €939.

Personal assistant-type programmes are designed, in general terms, to support people with disabilities in their daily lives, facilitating mobility, personal care, and participation in work, educational, or social activities. The general objective of such a mechanism is to strengthen independent living and autonomy, so that people with disabilities can organize their daily routines with greater flexibility, without depending exclusively on informal care from family members or third parties. The operation of an electronic platform for submitting applications constitutes, in general terms, a tool that allows more direct and standardized recording of requests, though the report does not provide further technical or procedural details on how the specific platform functions.

For people with disabilities and their families across the country, the opening of applications represents a practical step that gives them the opportunity to claim the provided support, though the report does not specify exactly who meets the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the programme. The ability to submit electronically, wherever one may be across the country, facilitates in theory access to the process, especially for those living far from major urban centres. More social policy topics can be found in the Society section, while developments concerning the labour market and employment, such as the recent employment record of 72.2% announced by Kerameos, are followed in the Economy section.

The neosagon.gr report does not clarify the exact deadline for submitting applications, the eligibility criteria, the disability percentage required for inclusion in the programme, or the number of beneficiaries expected to be enrolled. It also does not mention the exact address of the electronic platform through which applications are made, nor the specific body or ministry responsible for implementing the programme. For this information, people with disabilities and their families are encouraged to seek details on the official application platform and from the competent social policy bodies, as further details are not yet available from the published source.
