On the recognition of a degree of disability in other Member States  

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner has been a single mother, with financial responsibility for her daughter (born in 1988), since 2005. Economically independent, her daughter has since 2009 a German card indicating that she is 50% disabled. The petitioner is currently resident in Austria, where, however, her daughter is only recognised as 40% disabled. She considers this discriminatory, since the German authorities accept Austrian disability assessments. She would also like an increased allowance for 2014 and 2015 for her German-resident daughter.
