A child disability allowance is a payment made by the government to the parent or guardian of a seriously disabled child who incurs regular costs by having a disability. There is usually an income test for application. This term is used mainly in the UK, its colonies, and former colonies. In the US, such government credit is covered under the Social Security Disability Insurance.
