Eligible age for social welfare benefits to be reduced to 75
The Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs will propose that the Government reduce the eligible age for social welfare benefits from 80 to 75, said Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Dao Ngoc Dung.
Dung said currently, the policy on the elderly and people with disabilities had been adequate and comprehensive, but enforcement was still weak at the grass-roots level. Thus, the ministry would adjust some policies for the elderly and divide people with disabilities into groups in line with each level to have an appropriate approach.
