Victims of Hostile Action (Pensions) Law (Amendment – Entitlement to Psychological Treatment) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק התגמולים לנפגעי פעולות איבה (תיקון - זכאות לטיפול פסיכולוגי)

TL;DRA proposal to extend entitlement to psychological treatment for victims of hostile acts even without recognition of disability.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Benefits for Victims of Hostile Acts Law of 1970 by providing that anyone recognized as a victim of a hostile act will be entitled to psychological treatment, even if no disability degree was set for them. The amendment is conditional on the psychological treatments being needed to help cope with the mental consequences of the injury. The proposal applies to all victims of hostile acts, and not only to victims of the October 2023 events.
