Financial aid

Financial aid

For people with recognised disabilities there is a wide range of financial support. Please let us help you with your application.

Recognised disabilities are classified according to a concrete degree of disability. This degree will then be officially recorded on a disabled person's card. This official classification gives rise to a wide range of rights for those affected in different areas of life. The right to receive a wide range of financial assistance in the case of recognised disability is only one of them. This right to support is often not exercised due to a lack of knowledge. One of the financial aids is the assumption of living costs due to occupational disability.

However, personnel support in everyday life - from domestic help to complete care by a nurse - is also covered on the cost side. It is also possible to cover the costs of technical items. Unfortunately, these everyday aids are often very expensive. However, the pension and health insurance funds usually bear these costs - after submitting a complicated application. If restrictions are not officially recognised as disabilities, technical aids such as spectacles often have to be paid for themselves. However, employees are reimbursed for these expenses via the annual declaration.

In addition to the many benefits that disabled people can receive, they are also entitled to the benefits that apply to all people. For example, if their income is low, they can receive housing subsidies. If you have children, you also have a right to child benefit and other support - even longer or more if necessary. There are also foundations that provide special financial support for people with disabilities.

Questions and answers

What is the lump sum for disabled people?



If you want to save taxes, there are two ways. The first way is to keep all receipts, receipts, etc. for the expenses and claim them in detail. The second way is the lump sum for disabled people. Each person affected receives a certain amount of his income tax-free according to the degree of disability. This is intended to cover the additional expenses that become necessary as a result of the disability. If the degree of disability is less than 25, there is no lump sum.
