Dear Social Law Attorney,
I am reaching out to you as a severely disabled individual, Anna Kaiser, as I am unsure of the benefits I am entitled to. The background of my situation is that I have been suffering from a severe disability for many years, making it difficult for me to manage my daily life independently. I am already receiving benefits such as care allowance and also have a disability card with a disability degree of 70%.
Despite these benefits and the disability card, I feel that there may be additional support benefits that I could be entitled to, of which I am currently unaware. I am concerned that I may not be taking advantage of benefits that could potentially help me better manage my daily life.
Therefore, I would like to ask you: What benefits am I entitled to as a severely disabled individual with a disability degree of 70%? Are there any additional support measures that I could apply for to make my daily life easier? I would appreciate it if you could assist me with this and provide possible solutions to help me better cope with my everyday life.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
Anna Kaiser
