For families receiving kompensationsydelse

Kompensationsydelse, documented as you go

Under the new rules (formerly merudgiftsydelse), Gruppe II covers documented expenses in nine categories. LumaCare tags every receipt and trip with the right category while you log it, so the documentation is ready when the kommune asks - not a shoebox of receipts at the end of the year.

Sound familiar?

Documenting extra costs is a job of its own

Receipts everywhere

In the car, in a drawer, in someone's email. By the time you need them, half are faded or missing.

Which category was that?

One pharmacy receipt can hold medicine, diet products and shampoo. Sorting it months later means guessing.

Kilometres on an envelope

Every drive to the hospital, the physio or the specialist counts - if someone wrote it down.

Several people paying

Both parents buy things, and with more than one child the costs get mixed together.

The two groups

Gruppe I or Gruppe II - LumaCare follows your choice

You choose the group for each care recipient, and LumaCare shows the categories only where they matter.

Gruppe I

A fixed amount

Not tied to the nine categories, so LumaCare keeps your expenses free of them. Considering applying for Gruppe II? Track the categories anyway and see what your expenses add up to.

Your kommune decides which group applies and which expenses it covers. LumaCare doesn't assess eligibility - it keeps the documentation in order.

Built in

The nine categories, with the kommune's own names

The app shows the categories in your language, and every export prints the numbered Danish legal name the kommune recognises.

  1. Food and diet products 1. Kost- og diætpræparater
  2. Medicine 2. Medicin
  3. Transport in own car 3. Befordring og driftsudgifter ved befordring i egen bil
  4. Increased rent 4. Forhøjet husleje
  5. Leisure activities 5. Fritidsaktiviteter
  6. Disability-related courses 6. Handicaprelaterede kurser
  7. Clothing 7. Beklædning
  8. Electricity, water and heating 8. El, vand og varme
  9. Other compensable expenses 9. Øvrige kompensationsberettigende udgifter
How it works

From receipt to documentation, without the sorting

AI-powered Premium

Every line gets its category

Snap a receipt and LumaCare reads each line and suggests a category - only when it's clear. Items that don't count, like shampoo, are left without one. Change anything with a tap, or enter expenses by hand on the Family plan.

  • One receipt can hold several categories
  • Suggestions never overwrite a category you chose
  • Each expense belongs to one care recipient
Family plan

Every drive counts as transport

Log trips in the driving diary and turn them into an expense in one step. For a care recipient on Gruppe II, the mileage is tagged as category 3, transport in own car, automatically.

  • Distance, driver and reason for every trip
  • Mileage calculated at your rate per km
  • Each trip can only be exported once

See the year at a glance

The expense report adds up each category per calendar year and per care recipient, and lets you filter the list down to a single category. Just the sums - no guesses about what the kommune will pay.

  • Totals per category, per calendar year
  • A breakdown per care recipient when you have several
  • Filter expenses by category or care recipient
Premium

Export exactly what the kommune needs

A short guide asks for the period, the care recipient and the categories, shows a preview of the totals, and builds the file in the background. You're told in the app and by email when it's ready.

  • One PDF with a summary and every receipt
  • Or an Excel workbook with the receipt images
  • Subtotals per category, with the Danish legal names

Private by default

Receiving kompensationsydelse says something about health, so it has its own permission. Only parents see groups and categories unless you decide otherwise - helpers can still add receipts and trips without seeing them.

FAQ

Questions about kompensationsydelse in LumaCare

Does LumaCare decide which expenses the kommune covers?

No. Your kommune decides which group applies and which expenses it covers. LumaCare helps you keep receipts, trips and categories in order so the documentation is ready when you need it.

We receive Gruppe I. Do we need this?

Gruppe I is a fixed amount that isn't tied to the nine categories, so LumaCare doesn't show them by default. If you're considering applying for Gruppe II, you can track the categories anyway and see what your expenses add up to.

We care for more than one person. Can we keep their expenses apart?

Yes. You choose the group for each care recipient, each expense belongs to one of them, and reports and exports can be filtered to a single person. With only one care recipient, LumaCare assigns expenses automatically.

Can our helpers see that we receive kompensationsydelse?

Not unless you allow it. A benefit group says something about health, so kompensationsydelse details have their own permission and are only visible to parents by default - even helpers who add expenses don't see them.

What if only part of a cost counts?

Adjust the amount on the line, or add the rest as a separate line without a category. The totals only count what you've put in each category.

What happens if we stop receiving kompensationsydelse?

Switch it off for that care recipient. The categories you've already added are kept, just hidden, so nothing is lost if you need them again.

Which plan do we need?

Choosing groups, tagging categories, the driving diary and the yearly overview are part of the Family plan. Receipt scanning with suggested categories and the export are part of Premium.
