Dependent living expenses refer to a certain amount of expenses paid to minors or adult close relatives who are disabled and have no other source of income to maintain a normal life when the victim is disabled or dies due to personal injury.
If the dependents are minors, the living expenses = per capita consumption expenditure of urban residents (per capita annual consumption expenditure of rural residents) ×( 18- actual age). Dependent 18 to 60 years old, unable to work and without other sources of income, living expenses = per capita consumption expenditure of urban residents (per capita annual consumption expenditure of rural areas) ×20 years. If the dependents are 60 to 75 years old, unable to work and have no other source of income, the living expenses = per capita consumption expenditure of urban residents (per capita annual consumption expenditure in rural areas) ×[20- (actual age -60)] years. If the dependents are over 75 years old, unable to work and have no other source of income, the living expenses = per capita consumption expenditure of urban residents (per capita annual consumption expenditure in rural areas) ×5 years.
