Assistance in other situations Authorisation
In addition to assistance with subsistence (general social assistance) and basic security in old age and in the event of reduced earning capacity, other social assistance benefits can also be claimed as assistance in special situations.
They benefit those seeking help in situations such as illness, disability or special social difficulties. This aid is also given to people who can still provide for their own livelihood but are dependent on the help of the general public because of a special need. The decisive factor is then whether they can reasonably be expected to raise the funds from income and assets.
