Apply for accompanying assistance in working life for severely disabled people

Benefits for accompanying assistance in working life are intended to enable severely disabled people to realize and develop their careers in the best possible way.

Severely disabled employees, trainees, civil servants and the self-employed, for example, can submit an application.

The local integration offices or inclusion offices are primarily responsible for implementation. The offices work closely with the Federal Employment Agency and rehabilitation providers.

• Reaching the workplace
• Establishing and maintaining self-employment
• Procuring, equipping and maintaining a disability-friendly home
• Measures to maintain and develop your professional knowledge and skills
