If you are helpless as a result of an injury, you can apply for a monthly care allowance.

Helplessness isor example, you are considered to be helpless if you suffer from one of the following health problems that are recognized as consequences of an injury

• Blindness and severe visual impairment
• Paraplegia and other disabilities that require the use of a wheelchair permanently and permanently, even within the living space.
• brain damage, seizure disorders, mental retardation and psychoses, if these health disorders alone cause a degree of impairment (GdS) of 100
• Loss of two or more limbs, except for amputation of the lower leg or foot on both sides.

The principles laid down in the Ordinance on Medical Care (VersMedV) apply to the determination of helplessness and the levels of the care allowance.

Helpless are those who, as a result of health disorders, permanently require outside assistance for a number of frequently and regularly recurring activities to secure their personal existence.

This also applies if:

• the assistance is required in the form of supervision or guidance

or

• the assistance does not have to be provided permanently, but a constant readiness to provide assistance is required.

• Documents for determining helplessness (report from the medical service of the health/nursing care insurance fund, if available)

• Helplessness must be present

None

The medical care service usually examines whether and, if so, to what extent a disability-related helplessness exists on the basis of the nursing report and medical findings.
