  • the degree of disability and
  • the other health characteristics (markings)

More information
In the case of a severely disabled person, it is often the case that several health disorders coincide (multiple disabilities). 

The health disorders can exist independently of each other, but they can also overlap and reinforce each other. The mutual relationships between the individual health disorders are taken into account when determining the degree of disability.

If the degree of disability is 30 or 40, there is the possibility of equalization at the Employment Agency. However, this only applies if you cannot obtain or keep a suitable job without equalization. You can obtain further information on equalization from your local employment agency. 

The severely disabled person's pass of deceased persons must be returned. A copy of the death certificate must be attached to the ID card. 

Persons with severe disabilities are entitled to have an accompanying person with them when using public transport if they are regularly dependent on help from others to avoid danger to themselves or others as a result of their disability. The individual case must always be examined.
