Woman Waits Long Time for Money

A mother in Cyprus waited many years for her pension. She could not work because of back problems. Doctors said she was disabled. She asked for money in 2016.

Her first request was not accepted. Maybe a doctor's report was in a different language. The court said this was wrong. They said the case needed to be checked again.

But the problem did not stop. The authorities took a long time. They did not send the woman to a special doctor group. This group checks if people can work.

This shows a big problem. The system is too slow. The Cyprus Confederation of Disabled Persons helps the mother. They say this is a problem for many disabled people.

A special officer wrote a report. She said the delays were very bad. The government must now finish the review. They must do it in one month. The system needs to be better.
