If a doctor says the person can't manage daily life and needs someone there, you can still claim nursing money when family did the work. A chart that never says a dedicated caregiver is needed, and only a relative saying they took leave, is often not enough.
It is not a caregiver's daily rate times every day, automatically. A court looks at daytime care or round-the-clock, how many days of leave were actually taken, and whether the lost wages are proved. The compulsory policy's nursing benefit has its own standard and a cap. Only what's over that gets claimed against a person. The cap moves. Use the one in force then.
What you can do first
- 01Ask the doctor to write what kind of care is needed, and for how long. 'Should rest' is not that.
- 02Keep the leave proof, the pay slips, and a log of the actual care in separate piles.
- 03Claim the nursing item on the compulsory policy first. Then talk about what's over the cap.

Rewritten in my own words. Not a judgment and not a law firm's article. If a number shows up, it belonged to that public discussion, not to you. Check the Judicial Yuan judgment system. These started as public discussions of car crashes. I rewrote them here. Not a law firm's article.
I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not a mediator. I can't decide this for you. The statute that counts is the one still in force. Judgments live on the Judicial Yuan site.
