Official medical assessment - entitlement to child benefit in the event of illness

If your adult child is ill for longer than six months and has to interrupt their education, you can provide proof of entitlement to child benefit with an expert opinion.

Description

At the request of the authorities, adult children who are ill must provide evidence in the form of an official medical certificate that vocational training did not have to be started or interrupted due to the illness. If proof is provided, the child benefit will continue to be paid.

Prerequisites

Processing is only possible if all documents are available.

Required documents

For registration:

  • completed questionnaire for the adult child
  • completed assessment basis for the adult child
  • completed data protection consent forms for the adult child and for the applicant
  • letter of authorisation from the family benefits office
  • all available medical documents relating to the illness of the adult child

Approximately two to four weeks if the documents are complete and an official medical examination is not required.

If an official medical examination is required, the processing time is extended by several weeks.

Fees

70 to 120 Euro

Questions & Answers

In principle, the same strict confidentiality regulations apply to medical officers as to doctors providing treatment. The medical reports prepared by the department are limited to a summarised assessment of the examination with close reference to the questions posed in the order. The clients therefore only receive the examination results that they need for their personnel decisions. Everything that goes beyond this (e.g. diagnosis, own and external findings) remains in our records and is subject to medical confidentiality and data protection regulations.
