The autonomy scale classifies the impact of disability on everyday life. In Belgium, this scale determines the allowances a disabled person is entitled to. In 2018, a third of disabled people aged 65 years or over were part of the scale's first category and a quarter in the second.
The autonomy scale evaluates the consequences of disability on daily activities. The higher the category, the higher the impact on day-to-day life. In 2018, 19 percent of people of this age were scored below seven points, which implies they are not entitled to an allowance for disability.
Autonomy criteria refer to activities such as moving, cooking, eating, toileting, and clothing. It also refers to socializing, doing household chores, plus evaluating and avoiding dangers.
