Examples:

• Entitlement to unemployment benefits due to involuntary or involuntary unemployment
• Recovery of social assistance by the authorities
• Old-age and disability pensions that are insufficient or barely sufficient to live on
• Workplace accidents that can permanently change or impair your life and may give rise to claims under the statutory accident insurance
• Assessment and recognition of occupational diseases and the corresponding benefits
• Determination of the degree of severe disability or the rejection of benefits due to severe disability
• Existence/non-existence of benefits from health or long-term care insurance
• Medical malpractice issues
• etc…

All these cases are regulated in the so-called social security codes, and in all these cases you will sooner or later have to deal with authorities who make decisions regarding the entitlements to which you are entitled. 

Let me state this upfront: You have rights!

The "welfare state" is enshrined in the Basic Law, and it is anything but reprehensible to insist on one's own entitlements and, if necessary, to enforce them in an official or judicial procedure.

And let's be honest: the people working in the relevant authorities are only human, and humans make mistakes. Many benefit notices in the area of ​​social law are simply incorrect. Unfortunately, this far too often disadvantages benefit recipients. That's why competent advice is so important here, advice that can help you assert your rights.

We would be happy to advise you on this matter!
