(2023) Which expenses are covered by the disability allowance?

Many expenses typically incurred by disabled people are covered by the disability allowance. These include costs incurred to manage ordinary and regularly recurring activities in daily life. They also include care expenses, regardless of whether the care is provided at home or in a care home, or what level of care is required.

If the total of your expenses is higher than the allowance, you should forgo the allowance and instead deduct your costs as extraordinary expenses. However, you must note that extraordinary expenses are only recognised if they exceed the reasonable burden.

Also covered are the costs for medication, remedies and assistance, as well as personal contributions for the use of public transport. Expenses for home dialysis are also included.
