Supplementary Care Allowance Alongside Double Child Benefit in Utrecht

In Utrecht, you can apply for double child benefit (WKOK art. 30) from the UWV for children with severe disabilities, and simultaneously claim care allowance from the Tax Authorities. This yields €128 to €1,169 per month, depending on your income and the intensity of care. In the Utrecht region, combination with indicated care (IZ) is possible, as long as there is no overlap in care coverage – for example via local providers such as Het Dorp or Buurtzorg Utrecht. For the application, you need a CIZ or UWV decision, plus current income details; start at the UWV office in Utrecht or online. Important condition: the child is under 18 and requires at least 2 hours per week of intensive care. Utrecht parents must report changes such as moving within the city directly to the UWV and the Tax Authorities to prevent recovery of payments. In case of rejection of the allowance, the standard Awb procedure applies at the Tax Authorities; consider free legal advice via the Juridisch Loket Utrecht. Tip: use the Zorgwijzer tool for a precise allowance calculation, and check Utrecht regulations such as extraordinary assistance for extra support. This way, you supplement child benefit without double funding of the same care, perfectly tailored to local needs.
