For children who cannot care for themselves because of a disability, the state pays child benefits for life. So you get the child benefit even if the child is already an adult.
The requirements are:
- The disability occurred before the child’s 25th birthday.
- The child cannot provide for his or her own support. For example, because it can not work because of his disability.
On the website of the Bundesverband für körper- und mehrfachbehinderte Menschen e. V. (bvkm) you will find an information sheet on child benefits for adult children with disabilities.
You will also find sample appeals in case of rejection. There are also tips on how you can prevent child support from being diverted by authorities.
The Mental Health Assistance Act (PsychKHG for short) sets out binding requirements for community-based and needs-based care for people with a mental illness or disability.
It also strengthens the rights of patients and their families. It entered into force on January 1, 2015.
