FAQ
▶What does "Senior Counseling & Basic Security" mean?
Advice on organizing life in old age, housing adaptation, and financial security (basic security in old age under SGB XII, Chapter 4). Support with applications for exemption from co-payments and arrangement of leisure and meeting offers. Counseling Tip 1: Unlike social assistance (SGB XII, Chap. 3), basic security in old age (Chap. 4) does not involve recourse to children's income as long as it is below €100,000. Counseling Tip 2: Check claims for housing benefit as an alternative to basic security (often higher tax-free allowance).
