Disability allowance
Disability allowance is money you can receive if you have a disability or illness and as a result you need assistance in daily activities or have additional expenses.
It is no longer possible to apply for disability allowance, so the information on this page is only intended for individuals who have already been granted the allowance. If you are not already receiving disability allowance, you can instead apply for additional cost allowance. This is a new form of compensation that replaces disability allowance.
Report changes
Notify your personal administrative officer if any of your conditions change in a manner that could affect your right to receive disability allowance or the level of compensation you are entitled to. For example, if you need less assistance or you no longer have an additional expense. Report the change as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after you learned about it. Otherwise, you may be required to pay back the money.
Disbursement
Disability allowance is paid out on the 18th or 19th of every month.
There are three possible levels of disability allowance. Which level you receive depends on how much assistance you are receiving and how large your additional expenses are. You do not pay any tax on the allowance.
The levels are adjusted at the start of each year. For 2019 they are:
- SEK 1,395 per month (minimum)
- SEK 2,054 per month (medium)
- SEK 2,674 per month (maximum)
