What documents do you need to submit to confirm cohabitation with an elderly person in need of constant care?

The fact of cohabitation with a person in need of permanent care is confirmed by the following documents and actions:

1. An act on conducting a family survey

• The act is drawn up by social protection authorities or authorised local self-government bodies.
• The act confirms the fact of cohabitation and the need for constant care.

2. Additional documents for confirmation:

• Passport data of the caregiver and the elderly person;
• Certificate of residence registration (issued by the registration authorities or ASC);
• Medical opinion of the medical advisory commission (MAC) on the need for constant care;
• Documents on family ties (if the care is provided by a relative, for example, a birth or marriage certificate).

Procedure:

• Submit an application to the social protection authorities at the place of residence.
• The social protection authorities conduct a survey of living conditions and draw up a family survey report.
• The act and other supporting documents are used to obtain the relevant social payments or benefits.

Important: The form of the survey report may vary depending on the region and the specific social protection programme.
