My Food delivery app had approved my disability privilege discount already!
I am happy today because now I can buy not only foods but other items including some groceries and over the counter medicines from FoodPanda app with discount in the form of a voucher which will be sent to me after my delivery is done as indicated in the email that I received yesterday, less than a day after I tried to apply again for the said privilege discount.
Well it is normal here in my country to give persons with disabilities a 20 percent off from their purchases like if they would buy foods from restaurants and medicines from drug stores. The discount are two types, the 20% discount and the 12% value added tax (VAT) discounts. We can also get discounts from services like if we will go to the dentist, restaurants, hotels, amusement parks, public transportation fare, and almost all services out there. We are also getting special separate queues when we fall in line to get some services in establishments.
It is a great thing that my country's government with the push of concerned groups, citizens, and good politicians had made this discount privilege because my sector of society needs assistance since not all persons with disabilities are doing well in life as many are still within the grips of poverty. So with this discount the PWDs financial burden will get some relief most especially when they needed to purchase medicines which are very expensive no matter what medicines they are using.
As a dialysis patient, I am still hopeful in the other hand to get more privilege from my government health insurance because there are groups concerned in my sector which advocates for us. God-willing we can get all the help that we can get so that being a dialysis patient will not be that hard anymore which in turn put my co-patients in situation that will make their lives much better and make them fruitful and not be a burden to their families and society.

With us you will not find that and for sure not if it comes to medication. Perhaps if you want to visit a museum or some attraction park. I am happy for you and wonder why you didn't do this years ago.
I only heard about Food Panda if it comes to it's name. Never saw a delivery service except Domino pizzas and that pizza was grease, leaked through the box on my clothes. Never again.
Years ago there was 20% percent discount only for senior citizens until persons with disability got 10% off for their purchases until we also got 20% then afterwards 12% off from value added tax (VAT) was added to the discount. On top of it, the government was able to lower the price of some of the essential medicines which the citizens uses including some drugs which are before very expensive and it helped a lot of people.
I am surprised that your country doesn't give such discount privilege Miss @wakeupkitty considering that I know that your country can be able to do so more then my country. Well the politicians in my country at least had some empathy for its elders and people with disability with regard to our concerns, that is why the government insurance service improved the benefits of its members and depending on the municipality that a PWD and Senior citizens belongs into, they can avail the government insurance for free as the local government will pay for it.
Anyway, the FoodPanda service app is very convenient especially if you want to get your groceries and food without leaving your home. As for myself I can enjoy my discount now. I only had recently used it and upon discovering the discount, I applied until it got approved after I went to our municipal office to have my PWD ID number put into the national registry, it was required by the app and so I got approved, thanks be to God.
