Assistive Devices and Consumer Goods for People with Disabilities

Aids and Consumer Goods for People with Disabilities offers a continuously available grant opportunity in Vienna to promote the participation and independence of individuals with verified residence and recognized disabilities. The Fonds Soziales Wien (FSW) supports the cost coverage for technical aids as well as consumable everyday items that are necessary to meet daily needs and social integration. This funding offer is specifically aimed at people with disabilities who require technical assistance or consumables based on a severe disability ID card or proof of an equivalent impairment. Thematically, the funding falls within the areas of social affairs, health, as well as work & social services and contributes to improving the quality of life and independence of the participants.

Applications can be submitted online at any time via the application portal mein.fsw.at. For the application, in addition to the fully completed application form, a valid severe disability ID card, a current cost estimate, and the invoice for the desired aid or consumer good must be submitted. After a positive review, the FSW directly covers the agreed grant amount. Thanks to the straightforward procedure and continuous allocation possibility, the program facilitates access to essential products and strengthens the independence of the funded individuals in everyday life.
