This decree lowers the disability threshold required to qualify for the Allocation d'éducation de l'enfant handicapé (AEEH) from 80% to 50% permanent incapacity rate. The fourth paragraph of Article R. 541-4 is deleted, and new duration rules are introduced: for children with at least 80% disability, the allowance is granted for a minimum of 3 and maximum of 5 years; for those between 50% and 80%, it is granted for a minimum of 2 and maximum of 5 years. The complementary allowance (complément d'allocation) is now strictly limited to these same durations. These changes apply to all new initial applications and renewal requests submitted on or after 1 April 2026.
