Dependency Law Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access financial aid for caregiving and home assistance if you or a loved one struggle with daily tasks due to age or disability.
This scheme provides financial assistance to help cover the costs of caregiving or help at home for those who struggle to manage daily life.
Who it's for
This support is for individuals who are unable to carry out their daily tasks independently because of a disability or because of their age.
What you get
You can receive financial aid designed to help pay for caregiving services or assistance provided within your home.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to apply, but you must undergo a detailed assessment process conducted by social workers to determine your level of need.
The catch to know
The process is not immediate; there is often a very long waiting list to receive the official assessment required to qualify.
How to apply
- Contact your local social services office to request an assessment.
- Meet with a social worker to evaluate your level of dependency.
- Submit any required documentation requested during the evaluation.
- Monitor the official portal for updates on your application status.
