Supplementary Healthcare Allowance Alongside Double Child Benefit in Rijswijk

Maximize benefits in Rijswijk: how double child benefit combines with healthcare allowance, local application steps at UWV and Tax Authorities, and pitfalls.

1 min leestijd

Double child benefit (WKOK art. 30) is an additional benefit from the UWV for children with severe disabilities in Rijswijk, and parents can simultaneously apply for healthcare allowance at the Tax Authorities. This yields €128 to €1,169 per month, depending on income and care intensity. In Rijswijk, where many families with care-dependent children live near Haga Hospital, combination with indicated care (IZ) is possible, provided there is no overlap in care coverage. For the application in Rijswijk, you need a CIZ or UWV decision, plus income details; start at the UWV office in The Hague or online. Important condition: child under 18 with at least 2 hours/week intensive care. In case of changes, such as moving within Rijswijk or to surrounding neighborhoods like Plaspoelpolder, report immediately to UWV and Tax Authorities to prevent recovery. Objection to allowance rejection in Rijswijk follows the Awb procedure at the Tax Authorities; local legal assistance is available via the Rijswijk social counter. Tip: use the Zorgwijzer for maximum allowance calculation and check Rijswijk regulations for extra support. This supplements child benefit without double funding of the same care.
