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.

  • letter of authorisation from the family benefits office

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.

Legal basis
