On Wednesday 26 March 2025, the offices of the Department of Social Welfare and Social Services (DASO), located at 23 avenue Albert II, will be exceptionally closed to the public due to the department’s relocation.

From 2 April, the department will receive visitors at its new, permanent home situated at 5 Promenade Honoré II - Hall A (4^th floor).

In the interim period, from 27 March to 1 April inclusive, both sites will be temporarily open to the public. Please call 98.98.41.00 to find out which DASO offices you should visit, depending on the nature of your query.

This special education allowance concerns anyone who is responsible for the care of a minor, when this minor has been recognised as having a disability by the Disability Evaluation Committee.

Understanding the process

It may also be paid as a supplement to family allowances.

The amounts of the allowance and any such supplements are at a fixed rate and are set by Ministerial Decree.

These benefits are paid monthly.

To obtain this allowance, you must:

Be resident in Monaco
Prepare a file for the Disability Evaluation Committee of the Social Inclusion and Disability Office, located at 23 Avenue Albert II on the 2^nd, floor, which will estimate the level of disability
Look after a child with disabilities whose level of permanent incapacity is 50% or more

To request the special education allowance, you should contact the Department of Health and Social Affairs.

A Committee for evaluation and special education will decide upon the level of incapacity of a minor affected by a physical, sensory or mental disability and will state whether his or her state or level of incapacity justifies the allocation of the special education allowance or a complementary allowance.
