Nicosia resident struggles with financial and health challenges

A woman living in the Nicosia district is facing severe financial instability while awaiting a decision on her application for the Minimum Guaranteed Income (EEE). She currently receives a monthly special allowance of €800, but with monthly rent at €650, she is left with only €150 for other living expenses and utilities. Both she and her husband are currently unable to work due to significant health issues and the husband's lack of a pension. A medical board has officially recognized the woman as having a partial disability. She reports receiving state benefits for a vehicle and a wheelchair, but notes that these are provided on a reimbursement basis, which she cannot afford to cover upfront. Due to conditions including chronic spinal pain, diplopia, and strabismus, she has been advised by her neurosurgeon to limit physical activity. Consequently, the family struggles to access medical appointments, as they lack a vehicle and often cannot afford taxi fares. She expresses doubt that a potential approval of the EEE will provide sufficient relief for her family's needs.
