21 January 2012 A. if Mr. A is suffering from Parkinsons and admitted to the hospital for treatment in 2009. He has to take medicine for the above on continues basis for life long. Can He claim Medicine Expenses every year without hospitalisation ? Condition > 40% is applicable or not ?

B. If Mr. A is suffering from Cancer and admitted to hospital for other treatment. Can He claim exp. u/s 80DDB also ?

In both the above case they have to take medicine for life long. Can they claim medicine exp bills every year u/s 80DDB ?

Is 10 I Certificate required for every financial year from govt. hospital to claim the exp ?

Which are the hospitals in Mumbai that will provide 10 I Certificate in both the above case ?

Thanks in advance
