Supplementary Care Allowance Alongside Double Child Benefit in Rotterdam

In Rotterdam, 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 Belastingdienst Rotterdam. This yields €128 to €1,169 per month, depending on your income, family composition, and care intensity. Combination with individual care (IZ) is permitted, provided there is no overlap in care coverage. For the application in Rotterdam, you need a CIZ or UWV decision, plus current income data. Key requirement: the child is under 18 and requires at least 2 hours per week of intensive care. Specifically for Rotterdam families: report changes such as a move within the city (e.g., from Rotterdam-Zuid to Centrum) or to surrounding municipalities immediately to the UWV and the Belastingdienst to prevent recovery of payments. In case of rejection of the allowance, the standard Awb procedure applies at the Belastingdienst Rotterdam; if necessary, contact a local legal aid organization such as Juridisch Loket Rotterdam. Tip: use the Zorgwijzer tool for a precise allowance calculation based on Rotterdam rates. This way, you supplement the child benefit without double funding of identical care, ideal for Rotterdam parents with care-dependent children.
