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.

Any adult resident in Monaco who has been granted disability status may be entitled to the disability allowance for adults, subject to means testing, and providing they are no longer eligible for the special education allowance.

Understanding the process

This allowance may be paid in full (85% of the minimum reference salary set annually by Ministerial Decree) or as a differential of other resources.

It is paid monthly up to the age of 60 and may be supplemented by further allowances to enable the disability compensation plan to be implemented.

In addition, service tickets are issued quarterly and a booklet of concessionary tickets for shows in the Principality is issued annually.

The conditions for awarding the allowance and the methods for calculating the maximum entitlement are set annually by the Ministerial Decree No. 2015-380 of 8 June 2015.

To be eligible for this allowance you must:

Be granted disability status
Be resident in Monaco
Be below the income threshold

After notification that you have been granted disability status, the Financial Social Support Office of the Department of Social Welfare and Social Services will contact you to carry out your means test.
