Mantel Care ComplimentPLUS
Heerlen expresses its appreciation to the many family caregivers who care for their loved ones day in and day out. Are you a caretaker (in need of help) and would you like to thank your caretaker(s) for the care they provide? Then you can apply for the MantelzorgcomplimentPLUS. In May 2024 we will pay the Mantelzorgcompliment again automatically. You can apply as of June 2024.
Approach
- The caretaker and/or his legal representative applies for the MantelzorgcomplimentPLUS. This person receives €200 and all information about practical support.
- Complete the online application form.
- Upload a copy of the IDs of the caregiver and the caregiver.
- Upload a copy of the caregiver's bank statement. The account holder's name and account number must be clearly legible. All financial information may be covered/striked through. You may include a clear copy of the bank card instead of the bank statement.
- Upload a letter from the family caregiver saying they agree with your completed information for the application. This must include first and last name of the caregiver. The informal caregiver's BSN number and the sentence: I declare that I agree to the application for the informal care compliment and the signature of the informal caregiver.
After applying for the application form, the caregiver will receive a letter from municipality Heerlen stating whether you will receive the MantelzorgcomplimentPLUS.
Description
The MantelzorgcomplimentPLUS is a one-time payment of €200 plus practical support for the informal caregiver. We give one MantelzorgcomplimentPLUS per household.
Did you not receive a letter? Then apply for the informal care complement yourself or contact team Income by phone: 045-560 4333.
You are a family caregiver if you frequently and long-term care for a caregiver in your environment. This could be caring for a chronically ill partner or a disabled child, for example. As an informal caregiver, you are always busy caring for another person, but who takes care of you? If you need advice or support, you can contact Steunpunt Mantelzorg Parkstad.
