Includes bibliographical references (leaves 71-76). Wide spectrums of studies have been conducted around social assistance, producing a range of evidence that shows how it impacts on beneficiaries. The question remains as to the effectiveness of cash transfers like the disability grant in minimising poverty for disabled adults and their families. There is a great interest in understanding what determines the different ways of grant usage amongst beneficiaries and how it contributes to claiming their social rights. This study explores the role of the disability grant; poverty and disability-related costs; disability grant expenditure as well as household decision-making on expenses. Methodology: The study uses a qualitative descriptive research design, which explores and documents the lived experiences of visually disabled adults on the Cape Flats who are the recipients of disability grants. Methods of data gathering were individual interviews and focus group sessions. Data analysis looked at themes, concepts and ideas linked to research questions, but allowing the analysis to generate emerging codes as well. Findings: The study was able to determine the role of the disability grant in the lives of visually disabled beneficiaries on the Cape Flats. The research found that most participants were knowledgeable and aware of what the grant is to be used for and whom it targets. 2015-01-13T04:03:54Z 2015-01-13T04:03:54Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12140 eng application/pdf Department of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
