Can I claim medical expenses for myself and my two children if my husband pays medical aid for us?

Posted 7 January 2015

I am married out of community of property. My husband pays medical aid for me and our two children. The medical aid is only a hospital plan so does not cover day to day doctors and dentist bills. I pay for the doctors and dentist bills for me and my two children. Can I claim these as a medical expense?
