What is the impact of stricter norms for disability certificates proposed by the Centre

1. The proposed stricter norms for disability certificates by the Centre may lead to higher scrutiny and eligibility criteria for individuals seeking disability benefits. 2. This could potentially result in a decrease in the number of individuals qualifying for disability certificates, limiting access to support services and benefits. 3. Individuals with less visible disabilities or those on the borderline of eligibility may face challenges in proving the severity of their condition. 4. The stricter norms could also increase the burden on individuals with disabilities to provide extensive medical documentation and evidence to support their claims. 5. Overall, the proposed changes may exacerbate challenges for individuals with disabilities in accessing essential services and support systems.
