✅ Good News for Families in Pakistan
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) just gave us good news. They changed the PMT Score for some families. Before, the score needed was 32. Now, it is 35. This means more families can get help from BISP with money.
This change is for:
- Widows (women whose husbands died)
- Divorced women
- Families with disabled children
Let’s understand what this all means in simple words.
🤔 What Is the PMT Score?
PMT Score stands for Proxy Means Test Score. It is a number that tells how poor a family is. The lower the number, the poorer the family.
- PMT Score goes from 0 to 100
- A score near 0 means the family needs more help
- Before, only people with 32 or less could get help
- Now, some special people can get help if their score is 35 or less
📈 Why Did the PMT Score Go Up?
The government saw that life was getting harder. Things are more expensive now. So, they raised the PMT score to help more families.
Who faces the most problems?
- Widows have no husband to help them
- Divorced women live without a partner
- Parents of disabled kids have more things to pay for (like medicine, care, etc).
That’s why the government now says, “If your score is 35 or less, we will help you.”
👩👧👦 Who Can Get This New Help?
Not everyone gets help. Only these people can:
| Group | What it means |
|---|---|
| Widows | Women whose husbands have died |
| Divorced Women | Women who are no longer married |
| Families with Disabled Kids | Families with children who need special care |
If you are in one of these groups and your PMT score is 35 or less, you can now get BISP help.
📋 What Do You Need to Do?
You must update your records with NADRA. That’s how the government knows you are a widow, divorced, or have a disabled child.
| Who You Are | What You Need to Show |
|---|---|
| Widow | Husband’s death certificate |
| Divorced Woman | Divorce papers |
| Child with Disability | Disability certificate or medical proof |
Go to your nearest NADRA office and give them your papers.
