Severe Disability Assessment

At Alami Clinic, we understand that navigating disability assessments can feel overwhelming. That's why our experienced team is here to guide you through every step with care and compassion. Our geriatrician is an accredited Severe Disability Assessor by the Ministry of Health (MOH), ensuring that the assessment process is handled professionally and sensitively.

What Is a Disability Assessment?

A disability assessment determines whether a patient qualifies for assistance programs aimed at improving their quality of life. This process is essential for accessing schemes such as:

  • Interim Disability Assistance Programme for the Elderly (IDAPE)
  • Eldershield (with private insurers like Income, Great Eastern, or Aviva)
  • CareShield Life

For individuals assessed with mild or moderate disabilities, additional support may be available under programs like the Pioneer Generation Disability Assistance Scheme, Home Caregiving Grant, or Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) Levy Concession.
