The additional benefit was created with the aim of complementing the disability retirement of beneficiaries who depend on third parties to carry out their routine tasks.
However, the person responsible for helping dependents doesn't necessarily have to be a contractor or a nurse. It could be a family member, for example.
How do I request a raise?
The benefit is already provided along with the retirement process. However, people who are already retired due to disability and do not receive this benefit can apply for it through the app. My INSS or by number 135.
INSS emphasizes that some documents are necessary for the application, namely:
- CPF;
- Photo ID of the applicant and representative or attorney;
- Terms of legal representation or power of attorney;
- Medical documents proving that the insured person is dependent on third parties.
This way, just follow the steps below:
- Access the My INSS, log in, choose the option “Scheduling/application”;
- Click on “new application” and “next”;
- In the search field, type “addition” and select the desired service;
- Follow the progress of your request through “scheduling/application” on My INSS.
The insured is notified in advance in cases where in-person assistance is essential to verify any information provided.
Attend the examination
