Sozialhilfe: Hilfe in anderen Lebenslagen

For example, anyone who is dependent on financial assistance due to illness, disability or particular social difficulties can apply for assistance in other life situations.

Social welfare benefits - assistance in other life situations - are provided to people seeking help in situations such as illness, disability or special social difficulties. This assistance is also available to people who are still able to support themselves but are dependent on help from the general public due to special needs. The decisive factor is whether they can reasonably be expected to raise the funds from their income and assets.

Assistance in other life situations includes, for example

• Help to continue running the household(housekeeping assistance),
• assistance for the elderly (housing/place in a home) or
• assistance for the blind.

Different documents must be submitted from case to case. Detailed information can be obtained from the responsible office.
