32. Can I get EAEDC if I am under 18 and living on my own?

If you are living on your own and meet one of the EAEDC categories—such as being disabled or an MRC participant—you are eligible for EAEDC despite being under 18. However, if you do not meet one of these categories, the EAEDC rules do not have a category for you just because you are under 18. You need to live with an adult caretaker to be eligible.
