Wajong and family income: Belgium or consequences?

Questioner

I have a Wajong and a 19 year old son who wants to come back home because he is in financial trouble and would not be able to help either. Will it have consequences for my Wajong?

Lawyer

A Wajong benefit is a personal benefit. The fact that your son lives with you has no effect on the amount of your Wajong benefit. A note: Do you receive a supplement from the UWV (supplement to the social minimum) on top of your Wajong benefit? For this allowance, the total family income is taken into account. Please note that the allowance may be cancelled.
