We are constantly wondering if the grass is greener on the other side, do others get a better deal than we do? Are other people in different countries around the world having a better life than we are?
With Brexit still dominating the headlines, and financial and economic questions being thrown around more than ever, there are a few different issues being focused on. Disability benefits and living allowances in general are always on the tip of politicians tongues, when will they have to be cut? Who will be eligible? What types of checks are being done to weed out frauds and cheats?
Ability Superstore took a look at other countries around the world to find out how exactly the UK’s disability benefits and guidelines fare against those of other nations. The infographic below details what exactly those who need financial help actually receive on a monthly basis and their different levels of help that is available to those who need it.
The UK actually has one of the best disability allowances worldwide, with more paid out per month than other countries such as the US. The US, out of all the countries listed, has one of the toughest vetting procedures for disability benefits, and is notoriously difficult to be accepted for. So when it comes down to it, if you do need financial aid due to a disability, the United Kingdom is one of the best places you can be.
