Document summary
People with disabilities frequently incur disability-related extra costs, such as for rehabilitation, personal assistance or additional healthcare or transportation. These costs can be significant, and heighten the risk of poverty amongst people with disabilities and their households. In turn, unmet expenses can lead to worsening functioning, social participation, well-being and ultimately poverty. This proposal will establish a network for measuring and addressing disability-related extra costs. It will develop a toolkit that provides best practices and step-by-step guidance for collecting and analysing data on extra costs across three commonly used methods (Goods and Services, Goods and Services Required, Standard of Living).
