Do you have a disability or are you at risk of a disability? Or do you look after a child or a person with a disability? The wide range of integration assistance services are designed to help you participate in all areas of social life.
Basic information
Integration assistance benefits are intended to enable people with significant disabilities to participate fully in all areas of social life.
Integration assistance benefits are divided into 4 benefit groups:
- Benefits for medical rehabilitation
- Benefits for participation in education
- Benefits for participation in working life
- Benefits for social participation
Among other things, the benefits can help you to cope with the tasks of daily life. This includes, for example
- Housing
- finances
- Household management
- leisure activities
- Promoting private contacts and hobbies
- Visits to public authorities (preparation and support), if not the task of a legal guardian
- Mobility
- Parenthood
- Support at school, university or for further training at work
- Support at the daycare center
- Aids
- Promoting understanding
- Work
The services are individually tailored.
You will receive integration assistance services if you do not receive the necessary services from other social benefit or rehabilitation providers, for example the health insurance fund, pension insurance provider, employment agency or accident insurance provider.
The costs for the services are borne by the responsible integration assistance provider. The federal states determine who is responsible for integration assistance.
For integration assistance benefits, you must always pay a contribution from your income and from your assets if they exceed a set limit. The income and assets of the person with disabilities receiving benefits and, in the case of minors entitled to benefits, of their parents, are relevant. Some benefits are exempt from contributions, for example curative education benefits, assistance with school education and benefits for social participation for beneficiaries who have not yet started school.
Requirements
You can receive integration assistance benefits if
- you have a disability or
- you are threatened by a disability and
- you are significantly restricted in your daily life as a result.
You can also apply for integration assistance for people who represent you in the context of legal care, guardianship or as authorized representatives or custodians.
What documents do I need?
- You must submit an application to the responsible office. This can be informal.
- Please contact the office responsible for you to find out which additional documents you need to submit. The authority may ask you to use a form.
