7. Summary of the thesis results(emphasize new results if any)

Most of the research works, documents, and articles of the authors are mainly about social security and social protection. The research works are wide-ranging and refer to many objects of assistance. The research results of the works all show the important role of social protection in the current social development situation. However, to delve into a specific aspect of social protection, which is the monthly allowance policy for people with disabilities, no author has yet researched. The specific research on the issue of monthly allowance for people with disabilities is meaningful in both theory and practice.

Firstly, the thesis contributes to enriching the theoretical basis of people with disabilities. In particular, the thesis deeply studies the situation of receiving monthly allowance policies for people with disabilities in Me Linh district in the 5-year period from 2007 to 2012, pointing out the current status of policy implementation, the effectiveness of the policy and the limitations in implementing the policy in the area.

Second, the thesis contributes to clarifying the theoretical basis of psychology and needs of people with disabilities. Thereby, we can clearly see the importance of the system of legal documents and support policies of our state for people with disabilities, especially the monthly subsidy policy. The results of collecting information, data, and interviewing policy implementers on the situation of receiving monthly subsidy policies for people with disabilities show the extremely important role of monthly subsidy. Thereby, we can also see the role of managers, policy implementers, or in other words, social workers in assisting people with disabilities. The role is both a guide, an organizational consultant, a helper, and a resource connector.

In addition, the thesis also contributes to supplementing learning resources and serving as reference materials for social work students on issues related to social assistance policies for people with disabilities in general and monthly social allowance policies for people with disabilities in Me Linh district in particular, contributing to improving the effectiveness of the policy system for beneficiaries.

8. Practical application(if any)

9. Further research directions 

The author will continue to research other support policies for people with disabilities.
