What happened in Lombardy regarding those excluded from the inclusion allowance?
In Lombardy, following the reform that introduced the inclusion allowance (Adi) instead of the citizen’s income, there was a major bureaucratic hitch which is preventing disadvantaged families from receiving the benefit they are entitled to.
This problem arose because in the Region the ASSTs (Territorial Social Health Authorities) they are not connected to local Health Protection Companies (ATS), a structural difference not considered by the reform nor by ministerial and INPS circulars.
Social and health services must certify, via an online service provided by INPS, the disadvantaged conditions of people and care and assistance programmes within sixty days. However, this system does not work for the Lombardy ASSTs, since the operators cannot access the procedure and thus the disbursement of the subsidy is blocked.

Families who previously received citizenship income now they no longer receive any supportwhich further aggravated their situation.
The Lombard ASSTs reported the problem to INPS, but I’m still waiting for directives. Meanwhile, many families have been left without support, with the number of beneficiaries far lower than the Government’s initial forecasts.
