Important to know

Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.

Before you start

Start with the child's needs and functioning: National Insurance, health, education and welfare follow different routes.

Who is this guide for?

Parents checking assistance for a child's medical or functional difficulties.

!
Conditions and exceptions

This is not diagnosis or a disability rating. Age, impairment, treatment, residency and documents affect eligibility; one approval does not cover all services.

These links let you check with the responsible authority. The website's verification date does not guarantee that every detail has remained up to date since then.

Frequently asked questions

Does the benefit approve every school accommodation?

Not necessarily. Check the education procedure and evidence separately from the National Insurance financial claim.
