Can You Get a Subsidy for a Wig?
Yes, you can. If you have permanent, disfiguring baldness as a result of illness, surgery, or an accident, you can apply to your municipality for a subsidy for a wig. The caseworkers in your municipality will determine whether you are eligible for a wig subsidy. You apply via borger.dk under “Apply for Body-Worn Assistive Devices”.
If you are a cancer patient, different rules apply, and you can read more about this further down the page.
Please note that this is a subsidy, and it is not certain that the municipality will cover the full cost of the wig. The municipality provides support for the most suitable and least expensive assistive device on the market. If you choose a more expensive wig than the one subsidized, you simply pay the difference yourself. Likewise, remember to apply to the municipality BEFORE you purchase/order a wig.
If you have been granted approval for a wig by the municipality, it is your own responsibility to remember to renew it once a year if you still need the wig.
