Описание
You can seek financial support from us if you require a tool or device to help you cope in your day-to-day life. You can receive support for equipment such as communication equipment, household appliances, safety equipment or recreational equipment. The support can also be granted for having special clothes made or for covering the costs of clothing alterations.
You may also be granted financial support for purchasing a car or another mode of transport. When deciding the amount of financial support to be provided, the principle is to determine what type of car and level of equipment is necessary on account of your impairment. If you apply for financial support for purchasing a car or additional equipment, you must justify your need for such equipment from the perspective of your job, studies or transporting a child with disabilities, for instance.
In order to receive support, you must be able to prove that:
- you require the tool or device in question because of a disability or illness
- you are unable to obtain the tool or device from healthcare services as an assistive device
- the tool or device supports your independent coping in day-to-day life.
We do not cover the costs of normal tools or technical solutions used in most households.
As a general rule, the compensation covers no more than half of the reasonable purchase costs. If necessary modifications are made to a standard tool or device, we compensate for the costs incurred for such modifications in full.
In some cases, we may lend you the tools or devices you need, free of charge. In such cases, you must return the equipment once you no longer need it.
Apply for financial support by filling in the disability service application form and sending it to the service point of the disability services unit in your residential area. You must attach a doctor’s medical opinion and a statement by a rehabilitation instructor or occupational therapist to your application. In some cases, we also require you to provide an estimate of the equipment’s repair costs.
Financial support is means-tested and depends on the appropriations available.
