Why a Bescheid can be too low
- Everyday care
- One home visit
- A fixed list of care tasks
- Hours
- Level
- Bescheid (official decision)
- Bad days, nights
- What fits no category
- How long it really takes
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.

Common questions about Pflegegeld
In Austria there is no objection (Einspruch or Widerspruch) against the Pflegegeld-Bescheid (official decision). The way is 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 actionNo. 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.
No, not for children under 15. For them, the Kinder-Einstufungsverordnung (Classification Ordinance for children) applies, with its own values, which the checker does not calculate. It points this out and gives no level.
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. For your case, the Arbeiterkammer (Chamber of Labour) or a care counselling service can help you free of charge.
