Kriegsopferfürsorge für Beschädigte beantragen

If you are granted care in accordance with the Federal Pension Act or in the corresponding application of this Act, you may receive supplementary welfare benefits as special assistance in individual cases.

Damaged persons who are (or can be expected to be granted) assistance under the Federal Supply Act or in the corresponding application of this Act, e.B. under the Soldiers' Supply Act, the Civil Service Act, the Prisoner Assistance Act, the Infection Protection Act or the Act on Compensation for Victims of Violent Acts or the Criminal Rehabilitation Act, can also receive assistance within the framework of war victim welfare.

The prerequisite is that the injured persons are not able to cover the needs to be recognized from the other benefits under the aforementioned laws and other income and assets due to the damage. Whether and to what extent income is to be credited depends on different and individual income limits. However, the use of income and assets can be dispensed with in certain cases.

In addition to personal assistance, benefits in kind, one-off and ongoing grants and loans are eligible. Debts are usually not taken over.  

War victims' welfare is part of the social compensation law. It is so called with regard to the largest group of beneficiaries, but includes all welfare benefits in social compensation law.
