Pflegezulage für Kriegsopfer bzw. Berechtigte nach dem Bundesversorgungsgesetz (BVG)

Damaged persons receive a lump-sum care allowance in the event of helplessness.

The lump-sum care allowance is increased if a caregiver must be hired and the reasonable costs are higher than the lump sum. The damaged person keeps part of the lump sum.

In the event of temporary inpatient care, the care allowance continues to be paid for a certain period.

In the case of permanent inpatient care, the costs of nursing, care, room and board are covered.

The benefit is offset against the care allowance, but a portion remains free.

The care allowance must be applied for at the Office for Care and Integration Bremen.

If the care insurance fund already pays, sometimes the care insurance fund also makes an application.

The care allowance is not the same as the care levels of the long-term care insurance funds. The care allowance is available in six levels and is usually paid to the person in need of care. If the person in need of care is permanently in the home, the care allowance is paid directly to the home.
