Three levels increased
Successful lawsuit for more care allowance for senior citizen
Because the health of an 87-year-old woman from Braunau had deteriorated, her daughter applied for more care allowance - the PVA refused. So the caring daughter turned to the Chamber of Labor. She went to court and was successful: the 87-year-old's care level was increased by three levels.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Because the dementia of an 87-year-old woman from the Braunau district worsened, her daughter wanted to apply for a higher level of care allowance. The 87-year-old needs help in almost all areas of life and has to be cared for by 24-hour nursing staff and her daughter.
PVA refused
Nevertheless, the Pension Insurance Institution (PVA) rejected the increase. The daughter then turned to the Chamber of Labor, which took legal action against the negative decision. An expert opinion put the workload at well over 180 hours per month, plus an additional 45 hours.
Three levels increased
