If you hold a disability certificate, apply for the two disability subsidies (残疾人两项补贴)
- High value
- Evidence A
- Saves money
- Free
- Takes minutes
- No willpower
In plain words
Disabled people in dibao (低保, minimum living allowance) households can receive a living subsidy. Those with a Level 1 or Level 2 disability who also need long-term care can receive a nursing subsidy. You can get both at the same time. Each province sets its own amounts and they differ a lot, so ask your subdistrict office (街道) for the specifics. Bring your second-generation disability certificate (第二代残疾人证) and apply once at the subdistrict office or township government (乡镇).
Mentioned in
- If an older person at home has been bedridden for a long time or is severely disabled, apply to the medical insurance bureau where they are insured for long-term care insurance; it is not only for older people
- If treatment leaves you with a real functional impairment, apply to the county-level Disabled Persons' Federation (残联) where your household is registered for a disability certificate
- Once the disability certificate is issued, go to the county Disabled Persons' Federation and ask about everything you can apply for, all at once
