Grants and Financial Support

Haló is an approved vendor with both the HSE and Department of Social Protection.

This means we can offer access to the following medical wig grants:

Department Of Social Protection Treatment Benefit Scheme:

You may be eligible for the Treatment Benefit Scheme if you have made the required number of PRSI (Pay Related Social Insurance) contributions. This grant can help cover part of the cost of wigs, hairpieces, or other hair loss solutions prescribed due to medical conditions. Once approved, the grant is issued to your medical hair piece supplier (in this case, us), who will then deduct the total €500 off the cost of your wig. This grant renews every calendar year, you just need to reapply via your provider. You do not have to use the same provider.

HSE Grants:

For those undergoing chemotherapy:

Every woman in Ireland undergoing chemotherapy, regardless of medical card eligibility, is entitled to the same maximum allowance. Under the current guidelines: You can receive €770 per year towards wigs or hairpiece, this covers one hairpiece every 12 months. (If you were receiving a higher allowance before recent policy changes, you will continue to receive that amount).

For those with Alopecia:

If hold a valid General Medical Services (GMS) card, you may be eligible for a hair loss allowance of €500. This allowance helps cover the cost of a hairpiece, wig, or hair replacement for those experiencing specific types of hair loss due to medical conditions.
