Care grade & applications

Your next step: Ring the Pflegekasse today and say the one sentence: “Ich beantrage Leistungen der Pflegeversicherung.” (I am applying for benefits from the long-term care insurance.) Then get free advice – you will find the Pflegestützpunkt in your district under Directory.

Your next step: Start a Pflegetagebuch today and keep it for 14 days, and put together a folder with all your documents. If you would like to go through the appointment with someone: advice at a Pflegestützpunkt is free – addresses under Directory.

Your next step: Send the short deadline-preserving appeal to the Pflegekasse today and ask for the complete assessment report in the same letter. Then take your time over the reasons – with support from the Pflegestützpunkt, which you can find under Addresses.

Your next step: Write two lines informally to the Pflegekasse asking for a new assessment, and start a Pflegetagebuch (care diary) today. You can get free support with the preparation at a Pflegestützpunkt – addresses under Addresses.
