Those affected by ME/CFS or Post Covid are often denied disability pension and care allowance

Vienna – Those affected by ME/CFS or Post Covid not only have to deal with a lack of health care, but also with social law problems. Applications for occupational disability/disability pension (or rehabilitation field) and care allowance are rarely granted by the pension insurance institution (PVA). This emerges from a research by APA, ORF and the Dossier research platform. 79 percent of the applications were rejected in the cases. According to PVA, there are no official data.
