The Trinidad and Tobago Blind Welfare Association (TTBWA) and the Differently-Abled Movement are urging the Government to increase the disability grant when the 2026 Budget is presented on Monday.
Both organisations also told the Government that the Budget should be inclusive, equitable, and sustainable, ensuring persons who are blind, visually impaired, or disabled are fully included in the nation’s development agenda.
The TTBWA, in a statement issued yesterday, stressed that a disability-inclusive budget is not an act of charity but a matter of national responsibility and sound social policy.
