What does the bill do?
The bill sets an amendment to the Disabled Persons (Pensions and Rehabilitation) Law under which a family member of a disabled person with post-traumatic stress disorder is defined as eligible for special assistance and mental health assistance, provided that the disabled person's disability rating is at least 30%, as the Minister of Defense will determine. A family member is defined as a child, wife or parent of the disabled person. The bill emphasizes that post-traumatic stress disorder affects not only the disabled person themselves but also their closest relatives, and this bill is meant to give a legal answer to these cases of harm to life and to quality of life.
