How it works
Details: describe your day
Questions: short answers
Result: compare the level
Have your Bescheid ready, if you have one: we ask for the level, the hours and the delivery date.
What you get
- a comparison with the level in your Bescheid
- the calculation path: which rule applies and which of your sentences supports it
- the deadline for a court action (Klage)
- a cheat sheet for the assessment visit
Why a Bescheid can be too low
At night
During the home visit, nobody sees what happens at night.
On bad days
The visit often falls on a good day.
When guiding
Standing next to someone and talking them through it is help too.
- 16 times the Bescheid was right
- 13 times it was too low
In 29 published court judgments, the Bescheid was too low 13 times and never too high.
There are only judgments where someone went to court. So this is not the authority’s hit rate.
About Pflegegeld-PrüferCommon questions about Pflegegeld
In Austria there is no objection (Einspruch or Widerspruch) against the Pflegegeld-Bescheid (official decision). Instead, you can file a court action (Klage) at the Arbeits- und Sozialgericht (Labour and Social Court). In Vienna it is called Arbeits- und Sozialgericht Wien; elsewhere it is the Landesgericht (regional court). First request the Gutachten (assessment report), so you can see which care tasks were counted and which are missing.
Step by step to the court actionYour details go to an AI service for the check. Our server keeps the result for at most 30 minutes, your browser until you close the tab. Details in the privacy policy.
No. The checker recalculates using the published rules and shows where the level in the Bescheid differs from your description. You decide whether you file a court action. The court makes the binding decision.
An AI is involved here. It assigns your words to the rules and writes drafts. A fixed program does the calculating. You decide what you do with the result.
This is not legal advice. The Arbeiterkammer (Chamber of Labour) and disability associations advise their members on the Bescheid and the court action.
