Several social aids are available to disabled people. They are aimed at adults, children and the elderly.
They can take the form of financial aid, technical aid (adaptation of the home) or human aid (recourse to an employee).
AEEH: The allowance for the education of disabled children (AEEH) provides financial support to parents caring for a disabled child. The AEEH compensates for the cost of education and medical care. It is paid by the Caisse d’allocations familiales (CAF) or the Mutualité Sociale Agricole (MSA) to the persons who are responsible for the child, subject to conditions.
AAH: The disabled adults’ allowance (AAH) is awarded by the CDAPH. The conditions for granting it and the administrative procedures are identical to the AAEH. The AAH enables a person with a disability to benefit from a minimum income.
The AAH supplement: The AAH resource supplement is a flat-rate benefit, which accompanies the disabled adults’ allowance (AAH). This supplement is used to constitute what is known as the “guarantee of resources”. It is granted by the CDAPH under certain conditions.
MVA: The increase for independent living is a flat-rate monthly benefit which is added to the disabled adults’ allowance (AAH). It enables people with disabilities living in housing to meet the expenses involved. The granting of this aid is subject to conditions.
PCH: The disability compensation benefit (PCH) is intended for disabled people living at home or with a family carer. It is paid by the department and allocated by the CDAPH, for life if the beneficiary’s condition does not improve. The PCH is an aid that actually includes 6 benefits:
