Increases in Disability Benefits and New Support Measures
August 19, 2026
The government announced a 10% increase in disability benefits with retroactive effect from January 1, 2026. Recipients do not need to submit a new application to receive the increase, as existing benefits will be automatically transferred to the new allowance. The new Personal Assistance and Home Care Allowance integrates various subsidies for individuals with disabilities. Exact dates for the payment of retroactive amounts will be announced later. It is important for beneficiaries to keep their information updated.
