If you have a disability, you are also entitled to a inclusion support that covers the extra costs associated with your disability. The definition reads: “A person with fewer opportunities is a potential participant whose personal, physical, mental or health-related conditions is such that his/her participation in the project / mobility action would not be possible without extra financial or other support”. This definition is from the Erasmus+ Programme Guide 2021, where it also says: "In particular these costs aim at covering the extra financial support required for participants with physical, mental or health related conditions to allow their participation in the mobility as well as in preparatory visits and for accompanying persons". Your sending institution can apply for this grant from its National Agency, which in turn gets the money from the EU. Extra costs could be, for example, the following (list non-exhaustive):
- adapted accommodation
- travel assistance
- medical attendance
- supportive equipment
- adaption of learning material
- an accompanying person
- a sign language interpreter
- ...
These extra costs are based on “real costs”, meaning that you will need to carefully document all the costs and make sure that you have receipts for all the costs. It may be only after the end of your experience abroad that you need to report about it to your institution.
