Applications Now Open for the “Personal Assistant” Programme

25 September, 2026 15:25

We would like to inform you that the online platform is now open for new applications for the “Personal Assistant for Persons with Disabilities” programme.

Key Information

• Eligible applicants: Individuals aged 16–67 with physical, intellectual, developmental, sensory or mental disabilities.

• Support provided: Personal and daily care, transportation, assistance with work or studies, access to services, and social participation.

• Financial support: From €416 to €1,939, depending on the applicant’s needs category following an individual assessment.

• Deadline: Friday, 27 November 2026.

Eligibility Requirements

• A KEPA disability assessment certifying a lifelong disability rating of at least 67% for the primary condition, or a recognised need for ongoing assistance from another person.

• Permanent and legal residence in Greece, with tax-resident status in Greece.

• Annual family income is taken into account when scoring applications, but it is not an automatic disqualification criterion.

Important Clarification

Receiving an extra-institutional disability allowance or another benefit for absolute disability does not exclude an applicant from participating in the programme. Enrolment in the Personal Assistant programme does not result in the loss of any welfare benefits, pensions or other financial support to which the beneficiary is already entitled.

Applications may be rejected only in two cases: when the individual is in a comatose state and unable to communicate with their surroundings, or when they primarily require nursing or professional medical care, as the Personal Assistant does not replace healthcare services.

The myKEP team is available to assist you with any questions or provide guidance throughout the application process.
