Are Elderly People with Dementia Considered Disabled?

Confusion is a syndrome where the affected individual cannot think quickly and clearly as an ordinary person can. A person with confusion often cannot differentiate directions, find it difficult to make decisions, pay attention, and remember, commonly seen in elderly adults and older people. Being confused can be determined as a neurological or psychiatric disability. To be specific: Clause 4 Article 2 Decree 28/2012/ND-CP stipulates:

Neurological, psychiatric disability is the state of perception, memory, emotional, behavior control, thought disorders and is manifested through unusual speeches and actions.

However, whether elderly people with confusion can be determined as persons with neurological, psychiatric disabilities requires a validation and conclusion from the Council for determining disability levels established by the Chairman of the Commune People's Committee.

Respectfully!
