The initiative includes subsidies of up to 1,500 euros for oral treatment; up to 300 euros for the purchase of glasses and up to 3,000 euros for a maximum of two hearing aid units per person.IMAS will resolve requests within a maximum period of six months.
In any case, administrative silence will be understood as a denial.For the awarding of aid, IMAS will take into account the income of the family nucleus; the number of members; the cadastral value of the real estate that is among the properties of the people requesting the subsidy and the health problems of the family unit.Special attention will be given to the applications of beneficiaries of the Basic Income of Insertion and those people who have been denied aid in the two years prior to this call.If the IMAS does not spend the 500,000 euros of this call for aid to the elderly, it can allocate the money to other social purposes.
