Benefit for keeping guide dogs for people with visual impairments. This year, the aid is 165 euros quarterly.

You have the right to receive the aid if:

• your place of residence is the City of Tallinn and
• you have profound or near-total visual impairment;
• you use a guide dog who has gone through special training and who you have received partnership training with and have passed the relevant exam;
• the guide dog’s information has been added to the district administration’s Pet Register;
• the guide dog has passed the veterinary inspection, has been declared healthy and capable of fulfilling the tasks of a guide dog;
• you have submitted a request to receive aid to own a guide dog.

TO CLARIFY: If the guide dog has previously been trained, they do not have to additionally pass the partnership training exam to receive aid in Tallinn.

You need to submit a one-time request to receive aid. The aid will be paid quarterly (March, June, September, December) on the condition that all the requirements to receive aid are fulfilled. FURTHER INFORMATION: Guide dogs trained previously are not required to complete the adjustment exam in order to be eligible for the allowance paid by the City of Tallinn.
