Our Mission
The mission of the Association for Invalid Civilians (ANMIC South Tyrol) is to protect the rights of the South Tyrolean disabled and invalid civilians and to integrate them into the social and professional life by:
- Intervening at both the national and regional level for the maintenance of existing rights
- recognizing the moral and economic needs of the South Tyrolean invalid civilians and by fighting for new concessions and laws
- sensitising the South Tyrolean Government and companies for the needs of this category
- informing and educating the South Tyrolean invalid civilians about their rights, so that they can claim them.
On the initiative of ANMIC South Tyrol there are applied special regulations in South Tyrol. Some Examples:
- After a request of ANMIC South Tyrol, the state laws n. 118/1971, art. 12 and n. 153/1969, art. 26 are applied, meaning that any income from the first home is not taken into account for the calculation of the pension for invalid civilians.
- On the initiative of ANMIC South Tyrol, there is a new building ordinance for underground parking in place, that supports barrier-free mobility. All newly built parking decks and underground parking should have a ceiling height of at least 2.20 m from the entrance to the disabled parking spots.
- ANMIC South Tyrol has requested clarification and verification regarding the payment of the family allowance. The crucial factor is that children who are of full age and who are unable to earn income for reasons of illness or disability, are entitled to the family allowance if the findings of the medical college show that the person has a civil invalidity of 100%.
- On the initiative of ANMIC South Tyrol, all people with a recognised disability of at least 74% are entitled to the Südtirol/AltoAdige Pass Free which grants free use of public transportation in South Tyrol.
- On the initiative of ANMIC South Tyrol, the right to a workplace companion is also granted to those persons who have acquired a civil disability in the course of their professional life.
- On the initiative of ANMIC South Tyrol, civil disability pensions are paid much faster in case of loss of employment.
- On the initiative of ANMIC South Tyrol, income subject to separate taxation (e.g., severance pay) is no longer counted as part of the total annual income.
