Public benefits after a stroke in Vevey

The public funding bodies after a stroke are the cantonal disability insurance office and compensation office (disability pension, helplessness allowance, aids, vocational integration), the supplementary benefits to old-age and disability insurance and, as the last safety net, municipal social assistance. They are tied to the canton of residence – which is why they appear here under “responsible”.

Register with the disability insurance early: benefits start at the earliest six months after registration, never retroactively. The hospital social service helps with the forms. Bring: medical reports, salary statements, insurance documents.
