Determining success factors for personal budgets among people with disabilities -a user perspective

Before examining the (success) factors of a personal budget for people with disabilities, the study spends some time on the correct definition and interpretation of the personal budget. The personal budget is applied in different countries for very different target groups, making a definition of the concept central to the study. Next, the main objectives of the personal budget for persons with disa-bilities are discussed. At the end of this section, the concrete application of the personal budgets for persons with disabilities is briefly outlined for each of the four countries examined, chiefly addressing the main organisational features and their implementation in the respective countries.
Sections 3 and 4 examine the main characteristics of the personal budget for persons with disabilities. A distinction is drawn between organisational characteristics linked to the regulation and implemen-tation of the budget, and personal characteristics directly linked to the person themselves. This looks specifically at the different approaches to these factors and their impact on the experiences of people with disabilities with the personal budget. These key factors and potential impacts are used to formu-late success factors for each subsection. They can therefore serve as important guidelines for coun-tries introducing or adapting personal budgets for people with disabilities.
The report then summarises the context and user-related factors in each of the four case study coun-tries, with two overview tables allowing a quick visual comparison of their similarities and differences.
The report closes with some key overall conclusions.
