Apply for a personal budget for people with disabilities

As a person with a disability, you can apply for a personal budget.

Detailed description

With a personal budget, a benefit in kind from integration assistance is converted into a cash benefit or a voucher. The personal budget is not a new benefit, but simply a different form of benefit granting and service provision. With this personal budget, you can "purchase" expenses for your assistance needs yourself. This means you no longer have to submit an application for every benefit or service. The personal budget is tailored to your needs and can be used for various services. To ensure that the benefit targets are met, the responsible agency concludes a target agreement with you.
