New payment schedule for disability and home care benefits in Cyprus

The Department for Social Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (TKEAA) of the Deputy Ministry of Social Welfare announced that disability and home care benefits will be paid to eligible beneficiaries on November 26, 2026. Moving forward, these payments will be issued consistently at the end of each month.

This administrative change follows the transfer of rights for disability benefits and home care subsidies from the Welfare Benefits Management Service to the TKEAA in November 2026. These benefits are now consolidated and distributed as the personal assistance and home care allowance, in accordance with the Law on Social Participation, Inclusion, and Independent Living of Persons with Disabilities. This centralization aims to streamline the administration of support services for individuals with disabilities.

The TKEAA will remain the sole authority responsible for these payments starting from this cycle. Beneficiaries are advised that the new end-of-month payment schedule will be the permanent arrangement for all future disbursements.
