Healing treatment for war victims
As a disabled person (so-called damaged persons), you will receive medical treatment for damage to health that has been recognised as a result of damage or caused by a recognised consequence of injury. The purpose of the healing treatment is to:
- eliminate or improve occupational or professional capacity impairments or impairments caused by them;
- to reduce suffering,
- avoid, overcome, reduce or prevent the need for care,
- to correct physical ailments
- facilitate the consequences of injury
- participation in life in society as comprehensively as possible.
As a severely damaged person, you also receive treatment for health disorders that are not recognised as a result of damage. However, this comprehensive claim does not apply if you have corresponding claims against another social security institution (e.g. health insurance fund). Restrictions also apply if you exceed certain income limits.
In addition, you and your relatives can receive medical treatment services. However, your entitlement to medical treatment is excluded if you already have a corresponding claim against another social security institution (e.g. health insurance fund). Restrictions also apply to certain income limits.
