File no. 2712/2019 The complainant notified us about the situation of his sister, a
person with severe disability, who was deprived, for 2 months, both of the money constituting
the companion allowance, 1,600 lei (800 lei x 2 months), as well as of a personal assistant.
Following the requests made to the Cornetu Town Hall in Ilfov County and the Ilfov
County House of Pensions, it resulted that the representatives of the public authorities
involved were diligent about their obligations, in the sense of not cumulating two payments
(of the personal assistant / the monthly allowance provided for in article 43 of the Law no.
448/2006 and of the companion allowance provided for in article 77 of the law no. 263/2010)
but not regarding the rights of the person with severe disabilities, in the sense of continuing
the payment.
Considering that such administrative acts / deeds, inconsistent with the legislation,
should not be generalized and transformed into maladministration practice, the People's
Advocate issued Recommendation no. 146/2019.
File no. 4298/2019 The complainant, a person with a degree of disability, complained

Following the steps taken, the Bucharest Street Administration - Direction of Traffic
Systemization, the Service of administration, planning, tracking works and systems of traffic
regulation and road safety informed us that the petitioner's request was admitted.
Thus, the Technical Commission of Circulation of the Municipality of Bucharest
approved technically the registration of a parking place for persons with disabilities, on the
street of the complainant.

Roznov, Neamț county addressed the People's Advocate institution, specifying that he can no
longer pay for his stay in the home and will be thrown out, as he was informed, in September
2019, by the management of the home.

the Elderly Roznov. At the same time, we have taken institutional steps to Zănești City Hall,
Roznov City Hall and, later, the Neamț County Council.

already initiated proceedings to D.G.A.S.P.C. Neamt for measures to relocate the disabled
person to another center within the structure of the direction. At the same time, it also ordered
the identification of alternative legal modalities to support the person in difficulty.
