The dependency-related pension top-up for caregiving needs

If you have an ongoing need for assistance with the ordinary activities of daily living, you may be eligible for a dependency-related pension top-up for your caregiving needs if you meet the following 2 requirements :

  • You must be receiving a retirement pension due to unfitness for work (or have transitioned to your retirement pension from a disability pension), or, if you are a civil servant, you must be receiving a disability pension,
  • And you must have ongoing caregiving needs before you reach automatic full-rate pension entitlement age.

Rates for the dependency-related caregiving top-up are set by decree. You can apply for the top-up at the same time as your retirement pension, or you can apply by letter along with a medical certificate.
