TOG - Do you qualify for a TOG care allowance?

You can get a TOG care allowance for a severely ill or disabled child if:

• you live or work in the Netherlands, and 
• the child lives at home with you in the Netherlands, and
• the child is 3 or over and under 18, and
• the child has an "AWBZ-indicatie", an indication that that he or she needs 10 or more hours of care per week under the National Act on Exceptional Medical Expenses (AWBZ), 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.

You can find more information in the leaflets about the TOG scheme on the TOG leaflets page. This website also contains information on the AWBZ indication.
