The Allowance for Disabled Adults (AAH) is much more than just financial assistance. It plays a key role in the autonomy of people with disabilities. Indeed, it allows them to live with dignity, despite the difficulties linked to their condition. But in 2025, this allocation will undergo several important changes. Here are all the details.
Indispensable help that evolves
The AAH is one of the most important benefits for adults with disabilities In France. It is revalued each year in order to respond to the economic and social challenges of the beneficiaries. In 2025, a new revaluation is expected for its 1.35 million beneficiaries.
This will therefore be the time for recipients with disabilities to see a few euros more added to this monthly income. According to current estimates, depending on the level of inflation, the increase could represent 1.9%. Although modest, compared to the 4.6% in 2024, this increase still provides valuable support for many people in difficulty.
But the AAH is not just a question of amount. It is also a question of Access conditionswhich also evolve over time.

The conditions for receiving the AAH in 2025
To receive the AAH, beneficiaries must meet several criteria. First of all, you must have a disability rate of at least 50%attested by the Commission on the Rights and Autonomy of Persons with Disabilities (CDAPH). This is an official recognition of your disability and the substantial and lasting restriction of your access to employment.
Then there is a resource ceiling. In 2025, this ceiling is 12,193 euros per year for a single person. But it varies depending on family responsibilities, particularly for couples or households with dependent children.
But unlike the years before the reform, the spouse’s income will no longer be taken into account. Indeed, the calculation of the amount of the AAH depends solely on the personal resources of the beneficiaries. This is thanks to the famous deconjugalization which took effect in October 2023. This change aims to guarantee greater financial autonomy for disabled people living as a couple.
Finally, to be able to benefit from the AAH, you must reside in France permanently. You must also be at least 20 years old, or 16 years old for non-dependent youth.
How much can you expect for AAH in 2025?
As mentioned, the AAH will increase from April 1, 2025. And this 1.9% increase will bring its monthly amount to 1,035.53 euros. This increase, although slight, is part of a broader context of reassessment of social benefits, in particular those of the CAF or the MSA.

For those who combine the AAH with an activity incomeit is important to note that the amount of the AAH gradually decreases as income increases. This actually helps maintain a balance between social support and employment incentives.
For the particular case of retirees, they can partially retain the AAH. But the pensions received must not exceed the maximum amount of the allowance. This flexibility ensures that support continues throughout life, based on individual resources and needs.
