Personal Assistant: application platform opens

The electronic platform for the «Personal Assistant» program opened on Wednesday, August 26, 2026 at prosopikosvoithos.gov.gr, according to a report by lawandorder.gr. Interested parties can submit applications until Friday, November 27, 2026. The program is aimed at people with disabilities and aims to provide personal support for meeting daily needs. The launch of the platform gives thousands of interested people across the country the opportunity to immediately submit an electronic application. The creation of a special electronic platform aims to simplify the application submission procedure, without the need for physical presence at a public service.

People aged 16 to 67 years are eligible to submit applications, with the age limit extended to 75 years in special cases, as the source notes. A basic requirement is a disability rate of at least 67%. Additionally, an income criterion is applied, as annual household income must not exceed EUR 35,000, so the program is aimed at households with specific economic characteristics. These three criteria—age, disability rate, and income—operate cumulatively, meaning they must all be met simultaneously for a person to be considered eligible for the program. The combined application of these three criteria aims to direct the benefit to households that combine genuine care needs with limited economic resources.

The maximum monthly value of the benefit is EUR 1,939 per beneficiary, an amount that, according to the report, is intended to cover personal assistance services to facilitate daily life for people with disabilities. For many families across the country, the launch of the platform signals the practical opportunity to submit an application, provided the age, medical, and income criteria set by the program are met. The amount of the monthly benefit, as announced, constitutes a maximum limit and may vary depending on the needs of each beneficiary, although no further details have been provided on how it will be calculated. The disclosure of the maximum amount aims to give interested parties a clear picture of the benefit amount before submitting their application.

Applications will remain open for approximately three months, as the deadline ends on Friday, November 27, 2026. Interested parties are urged to check in advance whether they meet the age, disability rate, and income criteria before submitting their application through the prosopikosvoithos.gov.gr platform. No additional deadline extensions have been announced to date, a fact that makes it important to prepare the necessary supporting documents in advance before the end of the submission period. Compliance with the November 27, 2026 deadline is considered critical, as applications outside the specified timeframe are not expected to be accepted by the platform.
