ABSTRACT
Up to this point, people with other disabilities have barely been mentioned. This is not surprising: granted by an authoritarian government the privilege to run a lottery, the blind did not feel much threatened by the claims of any other group of disabled people who, in any case, did not have much room for manoeuvre to freely express their demands. With the end of the dictatorship, however, it became possible for people with other disabilities to openly compare their situation with that of the blind, express their feelings of relative deprivation, and ask the state for some sort of redress or compensation. It was thus only a question of time before a battle for resources between ONCE and people with other disabilities was to break out.
