In order to receive such a benefit, you have to introduce a demand with your municipality. Next to that, there also exists an indemnity for help to the aged . That indemnity is reserved to people older than 65 years. We will discuss it in the part about the guaranteed income for the aged and the indemnity for help to the aged. As mentioned before, not everyone can obtain such an indemnity.
Some requirements are to be met, and they can be divided in administrative and medical requirements.
It is possible that you do not receive the full benefit, but only a part as a completion of your other incomes. The medical part of the matter is dealt with by a doctor, because in order to qualify for entitlement, one must suffer a minimum handicap. For entitlement to an income substitution benefit , it is examined to what extent the handicapped, due to his handicap, has less possibilities to work in the regular labour circuit . Then, the benefit amount also depends of the family situation. For the integration benefit , the reduction of autonomy is taken into account.
