Quick Summary
Central Government employees can claim tax deductions on medical expenses for dependants. Section 80C allows for a maximum deduction of £5,000, while Section 80DDB offers a deduction of up to £40,000 or the actual expenses incurred, whichever is less. Ensure you have a doctor's prescription or certificate detailing the specific illness.
