55 At the same time, from the examination of the documents attached by the authority, it resulted that the complainant has outstanding debts arising from traffic fines, respectively, for driving without vignette, and, having in mind that the persons with disabilities, as well as their attendants or, as the case may be, their personal assistants, who own cars, are exempted from the payment of the tariff for the use of the national road networks, he was directed to submit an application to the competent authority, accompanied by the supporting documents to benefit from these rights. File no. 41/2019 The complainant asked the mayor’s office of Sascut commune, Bacău county, to stop the payment of the disability allowance for his three children, classified as severely disabled, motivated by the fact that they were going to establish their domicile in Colonești commune, Bacau county, starting with dated January 1, 2019. In order for the three persons with disabilities to continue to receive the appropriate allowance, the complainant filed, on the same date, a request to the mayor’s office of Colonești commune, requesting the payment of the allowance starting with January 1, 2019. The mayor’s office of Sascut commune, Bacău county, stopped the payment of the three allowances from January 1, 2019, but the rights due for December 2018, were paid by the local authority only for two of the three persons with severe disabilities. Also, from the documents presented by the complainant it turned out that the mayor’s office of Colonești commune, Bacău county, ordered the payment of disability allowances starting with February 1, 2019, instead of January 1, 2019, so that the three persons with disabilities were deprived of the right to compensation for January 2019. The Bacău Territorial Office conducted an investigation at the D.G.A.S.P.C. Bacău, to which were invited representatives of the mayor’s office in Sascut and of the mayor’s office in Colonești. Following the verification of the documents made available, regarding the agreements issued by D.G.A.S.P.C. Bacau regarding the payment of the due allowances to the three persons with severe disabilities, it was found that they were released late. Thus, although the applications for the release of the agreements were submitted to the D.G.A.S.P.C. Bacau on December 28, 2018, two of the agreements were issued on January 15, 2019, and the third only on February 12, 2019. Starting from the legal provisions in this matter, the representatives of the notified authorities were asked to review the documents that were the basis for issuing the provisions and to agree on the time of termination / granting of the appropriate allowances, so that there would be continuity in granting the rights. Following the investigation, the two notified authorities issued the necessary provisions to ensure the continuity of the right to the disability allowance and, at the same time, the remaining rights were paid. ● Brașov Territorial Office: solved 263 complaints, granted 487 hearings, answered 322 telephone calls through the dispatch service, carried out 146 awareness raising / collaboration activities with other authorities, was notified ex officio in 90 cases, conducted 44 investigations and made 16 recommendations.
