Supplementary Care Allowance Alongside Double Child Benefit in Leiden

Double child benefit (WKOK art. 30) is an additional benefit from the UWV for children with severe disabilities in Leiden, but parents can also claim care allowance via the Tax Authorities. This yields €128 to €1,169 per month, depending on income and care intensity. In Leiden, this combines well with Intensive Care (IZ), provided there is no overlap in care coverage. Start the application with the CIZ or UWV decision, provide income details and register at the Leiden Wmo counter of the municipality for local support. Important condition: child under 18 with at least 2 hours/week intensive care. In case of changes, such as moving within Leiden or to surrounding neighborhoods like the Maresingel or Professorenwijk, immediately notify the UWV and Tax Authorities to prevent recovery. For Leiden residents: check the digital portal of the municipality of Leiden for Wmo supplements. Objection to allowance rejection follows the Awb procedure at the Tax Authorities, with option for free legal advice hour at Juridisch Loket Leiden. Tip: use the Zorgwijzer for maximum allowance calculation and consult the UWV office in the Leiden region for personal guidance. This supplements child benefit without double funding of the same care, specifically tailored to Leiden care practices.
