Disability Compensation Benefit (DCP)
Verified 04 September 2023 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)
The Disability Compensation Benefit (DCP) is a financial assistance provided by the Department. It reimburses expenses related to your loss of autonomy.
The FCH comprises 5 forms of aid (human, technical, housing or transport development, specific or exceptional aid, animal aid).
Its allocation depends on your degree of autonomy, your age, your resources and your residence.
We present you with the information you need to know.
The PCH is a financial aid paid by the department's services.
It can finance certain expenses related to your disability (for example, fitting out your home or vehicle, using a third person to help you in everyday life).
It is a personalized help that is tailored to your needs.
To receive the PCH, you must meet certain conditions of loss of autonomy, ofage, of resources and residence.
