PCH - DISABILITY COMPENSATION BENEFITS
Allowances paid to people with disabilities (children and adults). It takes into account the needs and the life plan of the disabled person. It can be assigned to costs in the form of personal assistance, technical assistance, home and vehicle adaptations and/or financial assistance for exceptional expenditure or pet costs. Assessment and the decision to award benefits are managed via the MDPH.
BENEFITS FOR ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES (AAH)
This allowance is intended to ensure a minimum income for people with disabilities so they can cope with the cost of everyday life. It helps people who with no previous professional experience or those who are not eligible for disability benefits from the Social Security to achieve financial independence. The Committee for the Rights and Autonomy for People with Disabilities (CDAPH) approves their rights to the allowance and the CAF checks administrative conditions are met before payment is made.
ADDITIONAL INCOME SUPPORT TO THE AAH
As an addition to the AAH, this ensures a guaranteed income. People receiving additional resources to the special disability fund (FSI) can also benefit from it provided they meet certain conditions. It is intended to offset the lack of sustainable income from employment for people with disabilities who are unable to work. It is awarded under certain conditions and by decision of the CDAPH.
COMPENSATORY ATTENDANCE ALLOWANCE (ACTP*)
This allowance is paid by the General Council to adults under the age of 60. It allows people with disabilities to assume the costs of third-party assistance in basic help in everyday tasks (*third-party or staff from a healthcare facility).
SUPPLEMENT FOR INDEPENDANT LIVING
A supplement for independent living is paid in addition to adult disability benefits. The supplement is reserved for disabled people who are able to work but who are not in employment. It is awarded under certain conditions and by decision of the CDAPH. People receiving supplementary benefits to the special disability fund (FSI) may also be eligible under certain conditions
COMPENSATORY ALLOWANCE FOR BUSINESS EXPENSES (ACFP)
The ACFP allowed people acknowledged as more than 80% disabled to assume the extra costs related to the exercise of their profession. Originally, it was a social benefit paid by the General Council; today it has been replaced by the PCH. However, beneficiaries may continue to receive it instead of the PCH if they so request.
STUDY ALLOWANCE FOR DISABLED CHILDREN (AAEH)
A study allowance for children with disabilities may be granted as soon as the child is acknowledged as 50% disabled. It can be paid until the child is 20 years old. The AAEH basic amount can be supplemented by the addition of 6 supplements and a specific additional resource for single parents.
