In disabled investigation, 1989 a proposition was introduced which resulted in Lag (1993:387), om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade. The purpose of this legal act was to facilitate the everyday life of disabled people by promoting people's equality in living conditions. Persons with extensive disabilities shall be entitled to personal assistance. Personal assistance is a relatively new occupation, which constitutes an important part of the disabled's life as it enables the disabled to live an independent life. The purpose of this essay is, therefore, to investigate the problem when the assistants' rights according to AML conflict with disabled rights according to LSS. The legal methodology has been used because it allows for a deeper understanding of current law and because the essay was partly based on the AML and its regulations. To answer the research questions, the legal dogmatic method has also been important. Finally, it appears that neither LSS nor AML goes before the other, they will work in parallel. The laws are difficult to interpret in the context of opposing each other. Hence, one needs to look at situation to situation if assistants' rights to a healthy work environment should overrule the disabled rights, self-determination and integrity. From an equality perspective, it can be seen that special treatment is present within the occupation because of gender norms that exists in the society.
