Disability Allowance (Dental): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access financial support for dental maintenance if you are living with an ongoing disability.
This scheme provides a financial contribution to help people manage the costs of dental maintenance related to an ongoing disability.
Who it's for
This support is for patients who experience ongoing costs due to a disability. It is intended to assist those whose dental needs are a direct result of their specific condition.
What you get
If you qualify, you receive a contribution to help pay for your dental maintenance. This is designed to help manage the costs associated with keeping your teeth and oral health in good condition.
What it costs you
There is no monetary fee to apply for this support. However, you will need to provide a medical certificate to support your application. This document is necessary to confirm your eligibility under the scheme.
The catch to know
Eligibility is not determined by medical need alone. The allowance is subject to income and asset testing, meaning your financial situation will be reviewed to determine if you qualify for the contribution.
How to apply
- Speak with a healthcare professional to obtain a medical certificate regarding your disability and dental needs.
- Gather your financial information to prepare for the income and asset testing.
- Submit your application through the Ministry of Social Development.
