Aid and services for people with disabilities

Diverse services intervene according to the type of the handicap, the recognition of the handicap and the support wanted.

At the federal level, the External site Public service of Social Security takes charge among others of allowances to disabled persons, of certificates, of parking and reduction cards and of increased child benefits.

Any application for a recognition of a disability or a disabled parking place is done via External site handicap.belgium.be. A computer is available at the Brucity Administrative Centre (Rue des Halles 4 - 1000 Brussels).

At the regional level, Iriscare is authorized to assist disabled people (assistance dogs, assistance with mobility, assistance budget, support in living assistance and home care, day centres,...):

The City of Brussels and the Public Welfare Centre have several services for disabled. Disabled can also call the free telephone number of the City of Brussels:
