Apply for a lump sum for disabled people
If you have a disability, you can choose whether you want to claim your disability-related expenses individually or claim a lump sum.
The lump sum covers expenses for help with the usual and regularly recurring activities of daily living and expenses for increased laundry requirements as well as care expenses. If you choose the lump sum, you can neither claim the care expenses as extraordinary expenses nor the tax reduction for care services in the household.
The lump sum is graduated according to the degree of disability. Blind and helpless disabled people receive a higher lump sum.
