ABSTRACT
Determination of eligibility for disability pension is a challenging area in view of the complexities surrounding defining and measuring disability. Currently there is an absence of eligibility criteria for the disability pension in Namibia, and people with disabilities have described the process of getting the disability pension as extremely difficult. To improve the process of determining eligibility for disability pension knowledge of the current factors associated with approval or rejection of disability pension should be available. The study aimed to explore and describe characteristic factors of approved and rejected disability pension applications and, to identify factors associated with determination of eligibility for disability pension in the Khomas Region. The objectives of the study were to describe socio-demographic and medical factors that characterize approved and rejected disability pension applications in the Khomas Region and to identify factors positively or negatively associated with rejection of disability pension applications in the Khomas Region. A quantitative, analytic, case-control study design based on records was used. The population consisted of all disability pension applications processed between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2010 in the Khomas Region. The population size matched the estimated sample size. Cases were the rejected applications for a disability pension and controls were those applications that were approved.
