Since November 17, 2022, we have been participating in the project "Asylum Seeker Benefits – With Right to Justice" from https://zusammenland.de/case-study/mit-recht-zum-recht/
Because (from the explanation at https://zusammenland.de/case-study/mit-recht-zum-recht/):
Things are going wrong – nationwide.
In asylum seeker benefits law, 90% of all decisions are incorrect. People with tolerated stay status – but not only those – receive less money than the law stipulates.
It's not just about a few euros, but about considerable sums. Back payments in the four-figure range are not uncommon.
The following are faulty:
- no switch to higher analog power levels
- No benefits for newborns until the appointment at the immigration office
- Electricity costs can also be deducted for the lower benefits according to § 3, 3a AsylbLG
- incorrect standard benefit level
- Reduction of accommodation costs
- Reduction to a minimum due to lack of cooperation
Money is being withheld that is urgently needed for living expenses and integration.
