How long will I receive child benefit for my disabled child?
For a child with a disability, you receive child benefit or tax allowances for an unlimited period if certain conditions are met:
The child is taken into account for tax purposes if they are unable to support themselves due to a physical, mental, or emotional disability. This means they cannot cover their living expenses and additional needs due to the disability from their own income and assets.
You can usually prove this with the disability card, which includes the "H" mark and if the degree of disability is at least 50 percent. The fact that the child is not employed must be due to the disability and not a poor job market.
To claim tax consideration for the child without age limit, the disability must have occurred before the age of 25.
