Field help: (2021) Would you like to provide information on disability and/or bereavement pension?

Select "yes" if you want to claim the disability allowance or the bereavement allowance for your child.

Disability allowance

If a disability has been confirmed, your child is entitled to a disability allowance from a degree of disability of 20%.

You can also apply for the disability allowance if you do not have a severely disabled person's card, but you have received a notice from the pension office or the care insurance fund about care level 4 or 5.

Survivor's allowance

Your child is entitled to a survivor's allowance if he or she has been granted regular survivor's benefits. As a rule, survivors' benefits are paid under the Federal War Victims Relief Act, the Civil Service Act or the statutory accident insurance scheme.

As proof, you must submit the following documents to the tax office, if they have not already been submitted in previous years:

• Pension approval notice or
• Statement from the insurance provider
