Field help:
Was <%0500107%> unable to support himself/herself because of a disability that occurred before the age of 25?
Select "yes" if your child was unable to support him/herself due to a physical, mental or psychological disability in 2025.
In this case, you can claim the child and child-raising allowance for each month in which the disability occurred, regardless of the child's age and even beyond the age of 25, as long as the disability occurred before the child reached the age of 25.
Prerequisites:
- The disability must have occurred before the age of 25.
- The child cannot take up gainful employment due to the disability and does not have sufficient financial resources.
A child is considered "unable to support him/herself" if he/she is unable to work due to the disability and does not have sufficient resources.
Note: If the child has sufficient income despite the disability, there is no entitlement to child benefit or allowances. The family benefits office regularly checks the child's income (DA-KG 2023).
