12 February 2016 Section 80GG gives deduction on rent paid and it has nothing to do with medical expences,

I Assume that your question relates to 80DD,

1)80DD Deduction is allowed for a dependant of the tax payer and not the tax payer himself.
2)Dependant in case of an individual taxpayer means spouse, children, parents, brothers & sisters of the taxpayer. In case of an HUF means a member of the HUF
