장애등급제 31년만에 폐지…1~6등급 대신 중증•경증으로 구분

The health ministry will simplify the way it categorizes people with disabilities... to be more flexible in its support for them
Starting next month, people will be divided into two classes depending on the severity of their disabilities... unlike the current system that divides them into six.
The ministry claims the move will allow them to receive more financial benefits and services.
