Cash benefits

The aim of a pension is to cover basic living costs. If the pension is not sufficient to cover these expenses, the pension claimant is entitled to supplementary benefits.

The helplessness allowance is intended for insured persons who, due to a health impairment, require the help of third parties or practical assistance to perform everyday tasks or maintain social contacts.

The personal assistance allowance enables recipients of an IV/AI helplessness allowance who regularly rely on assistance and wish to continue living at home to hire a person who can provide them with the help they require.
