The Migrant Domestic Worker (MDW) Levy Concession for Persons with Disabilities (PWD) lets families pay the Migrant Domestic Worker levy at a concessionary rate of $60 a month, instead of $300. Each household is eligible for up to two MDW levy concessions, caring for two loved ones at any one time.

How to Qualify

To be eligible for MDW Levy Concession for Persons with Disabilities, the care recipient must meet the following criteria:
