Social security includes the areas of pension and health insurance, accident insurance, nursing insurance and unemployment insurance.
You will have questions from the area of social security law when you submit, for example, an application for:
- An old-age pension or temporary disability benefits
- Sickness benefits and nursing benefits from your health insurance provider
- A pension from an employers' liability insurance association due to a work-related accident or an occupational illness
- Unemployment benefit from the labour exchange
ADK clarifies questions concerning benefits for occupational illnesses in representing clients in cases involving an employers' liability insurance association. ADK reviews your claim for either a temporary or unlimited pension.
In the area of statutory health insurance, the question of whether the statutory health insurer does or does not have to bear the cost of certain treatments frequently requires clarification.
Statutory accident insurance often raises questions about commuting accidents, accidents at work and whether an illness has occupational causes.
In the area of nursing insurance, the actions mainly concern the problem of categorizing the case in a certain care level.
Frequently, applications for particular benefits are rejected. This does not at all mean that a negative decision was made appropriately. In a confidential meeting, you outline your concern. We will then clearly demonstrate to you the concrete options you have, and represent you in the further stages of the desired procedure.
