Abstract

|
This study compares the concepts of disability and disability judgement criteria for National Pension Act and Welfare of the Disabled Act. First, it analyzes the similarities and differences between the two Acts and explores what the problems derived from them are. Second, it examines whether the unification of the judgement criteria for the two Acts are adequate. The results of the analysis show though there are comparatively clear distinctions of the objectives and concepts of disability for the two Acts, it is also found that there are both similarities and differences with regard to disability types and judgement criteria. The current disability judgement criteria for the two Acts are not reasonable and the lack of consistency because there are differences between the grades of disability. This causes discrepancies between the grades within a disability type and those between the grades among the disability types. Therefore it is needed to improve the consistency and for this, the unification of the consistency of the impairment based Barema methods for the two Acts is needed.
