For the integration benefit, the reduction of autonomy is taken into account. To this end, amedical-<strong>social</strong> scale is being used to evaluate the person's abilities to:- self-mobility;- eat and prepare food by oneself;- take care of one's personal hygiene and to dress;- do maintenance of one's house and keep the household;- live without supervision, to be aware of danger and to avoid it;- communication and <strong>social</strong> contact.Every criterion is worth a few marks. The total of these marks determines the category youbelong to and the benefit you receive. If you obtain less than seven points, you are not entitledto an indemnity. If you satisfy the administrative conditions, the indemnity is as follows (annualamounts on 1 January 2011):Category I 7 and 8 points 1,104.09 EURCategory II 9 to 11 points 3,762.33 EURCategory III 12 to 14 points 6,011.74 EURCategory IV 15 and 16 points 8,758.34 EURCategory V 17 and 18 points 9,935.79 EURThe income substitution benefit and the integration benefit can be granted together or separately.The Federal Public Service Social Security pays them every month.B. The right to <strong>social</strong> integration – integration incomeEvery municipal public <strong>social</strong> welfare centre (OCMW - CPAS) has the duty to offer every personthe possibility to lead a decent existence - this is called the <strong>social</strong> service of the OCMW - CPAS.In fact, <strong>social</strong> service consists of two benefits:72- the right to <strong>social</strong> integration by means of employment or an integration income,whether or not complemented by an individualised project for <strong>social</strong> integration;- <strong>social</strong> assistance in the broad sense.If the conditions for the right to <strong>social</strong> integration are satisfied, it shall have priority over <strong>social</strong>assistance.If we speak of '<strong>social</strong> service', we often talk about <strong>social</strong> assistance in the broad sense. Socialassistance may take many forms:- material aid (either financial, if you do not meet the requirements to obtain an integrationincome, or in kind, for instance food vouchers);- immaterial aid (like budget counselling, legal advice, etc.).The OCMW - CPAS itself decides which form of aid would be the most suitable, depending on thepersonal and the family situation. If you do not agree with the OCMW - CPAS decision, you canlodge an appeal at the labour court.
