Greek disability groups expressed anger Monday at a government decision to expand a list of state-recognized disability categories to include pedophiles, exhibitionists and kleptomaniacs.
The Labor Ministry said categories added to the expanded list — that also includes pyromaniacs, compulsive gamblers, fetishists and sadomasochists — were included for purposes of medical assessment and used as a gauge for allocating financial assistance.
The National Confederation of Disabled People called the action "incomprehensible," and said pedophiles are now awarded a higher government disability pay than some people who have received organ transplants.

NCDP leader Yiannis Vardakastanis, who is blind, warned the new list could create new difficulties for disabled Greeks who are already facing benefit cuts due to the country's financial crisis.

"It's really not serious to grant Peeping Toms a 20-30 percent disability rate, and 10 percent to diabetics, who have insulin shots four or five times a day," said Vardakastanis.

Can any of our resident Greeks advise what sort of fetish would bring me largest disability pay, were I a Greek citizen?
 
It is not the pedophiles, but the BRITISH ISLES...

Well, on a serious note, i have not come across this bit of news at all- not very surprising though since i do not watch tv since last year. I am not sure if it is blown out of proportion therefore, but sounds like it.
 
I am not sure if its the highest payout, but burning things for money sounds like the most fun. Well, maybe seeing what shop security I can circumvent is...

SO MANY CHOICES!!!
 
Is this just a cash payout, or one for specific things, like Depo-Provera?
Because I am all for buying drugs to keep pedophiles from getting horny.
 
Well, I can understand the kleptomania one. If you're going to accept mental illness as a disability, having a condition which compels you to steal from everyone who might hire you qualifies as a work-force disability.
 
What Park and contre said, I think.
 
Insightful.
