Thousands of people with disabilities in Greece continue to face significant hardship when undergoing assessments at the Disability Certification Centers (ΚΕΠΑ). The centers are experiencing substantial backlogs, causing lengthy delays in the certification process. This impacts individuals' access to essential benefits and services they are legally entitled to. The delays contribute to further marginalization and hardship for a vulnerable population already navigating complex challenges. Reports indicate a systemic issue within ΚΕΠΑ, creating a prolonged and frustrating experience for applicants. Authorities have yet to fully address the root causes of the problem and implement effective solutions to expedite the assessment process and ensure timely access to support for people with disabilities. This ongoing situation raises concerns about the fulfillment of rights for individuals with disabilities in Greece.
