Clarifying criteria for disability services
A provision will be added to the Disability Services Act to help distinguish the need for assistance typical of a stage of life from a specific need for support resulting from a disability. Disability services will be granted in situations where the need for support differs from that typical of people of the same age and general social services are insufficient.

Restricting access to disability services
The scope of application of the Act on Disability Services is specified so that special services will be granted only if basic social services are insufficient and the need for assistance differs from what is typical for the person's stage of life. Whether a service is free of charge will no longer affect the act under which assistance is granted.
