Please select who provided the care or whether it was provided together by both spouses.

As of 2021, the nursing care allowance for home care has been doubled for care level (Pflegegrad) 4 or 5 and a new allowance has been introduced for care levels 2 and 3. The nursing care allowance amounts to

  • for care level 2: 600 Euro,
  • for care level 3: 1.100 Euro,
  • for care level 4 or 5 or incapacity: 1.800 Euro.

If the care was provided free of charge by several persons, the nursing care allowance must be divided equally among these persons.

It does not matter who provides most of the care or whether both carers actually claim the allowance in their tax returns.

If there are two carers, each person will receive half of the allowance.
