• the child lives at home with you in the Netherlands, and
• the child is 3 or over and under 18, and
• your child has an AWBZ indication (under the National Act on Exceptional Medical Expenses, AWBZ) and/or a ZG certificate (for a sensory handicap), for an average of 10 hours of care of more per week, and
• you do not receive any commercial remuneration from the Netherlands or another country for the care provided, and
• you do not receive any other payment from the Netherlands or another country that is similar in nature to the TOG allowance.
