Consequences of deleting the additional demand in Hartz IV

Consequences of deleting the additional demand in Hartz IV.

(09.08.2010) Numerous Hartz IV recipients have since the beginning of 2010 significant problems their disease-related additional needs for costly diet gem. § 30 SGB XII resp. §21 SGB II enforce. It seems as if a new directive has been issued to the employment agencies, which requires the clerks to examine every case in detail again and possibly reject it. Thus, several Hartz IV recipients have been written that they have to renew their medical certificate, which proves the disease and the additional need to renew. The costs for this are borne by the Office, but the time required and the burden of proof lies with the recipient. In addition, in some diseases, such. As in type 2 diabetes, the additional need for nutrition completely deleted. For example, our editorial staff has received a letter from Mr. W. Trassenheide, who has canceled all additional nutritional allowances.

Mr. W. is diabetic and his metabolism has assimilation disorders, which on the one hand make the intake of sugar difficult on the other hand trigger a general tendency for malnutrition. For years, Mr W. has claimed more food and was thus able to deal with the symptoms of the disease relatively efficiently. Since he no longer receives this additional needs, he has massively reduced health and today complains about numerous ailments, such. Tooth decay, sleep disorders, significant weight loss, dizziness, gear insecurity, feeling cold, heartburn, the increase of hypoglycemic shocks and taste, odor and memory disorders. All symptoms of pronounced malnutrition! However, this excludes the employment agency because the Hartz IV rule set is sufficient for a healthy whole-nutrition, as opposed to Mr. W. on his renewed request.

The offices seem to pay the subsidies for a subsequent medication of the symptoms caused by malnutrition, as the individual Hartz IV recipients due to his illness a corresponding Hartz IV more need to concede. In addition, it is questionable to what extent a renewal of the medical certificate makes any sense at all. People who suffer from diabetes or atopic dermatitis are likely to have this disease for their entire life and that will not change a recent investigation. Even if the person concerned does not incur any costs, the Office must bear the costs of the investigation and at that point the question should be asked as to whether this money should not be used more sensibly elsewhere.
