Social Law Vienna: Your Claims Are My Mission
Pension denied? Care allowance too low? Unemployment benefits cut? I help you get the benefits you are entitled to.
The Austrian social system is meant to protect people when they get sick, lose their job, or need support in old age. But between entitlement and reality there is often a rocky road of forms, assessments, and rejection notices. As an attorney for social law in Vienna, I know this road.
When Do You Need Social Law Advice?
Social law encompasses all benefits you can receive from social insurance or the state: pensions, unemployment benefits, health insurance, care allowance, and much more.
Pension Matters
A pension is the result of a long working life. If the application is rejected or the amount is wrong, I review your case.
Care Allowance
Care allowance is meant to cover the additional costs arising from the need for care. Classification into the correct care level is crucial.
Unemployment Insurance
The employment service can suspend or reduce benefits. Often these decisions are contestable.
Accident Insurance
After a work accident or occupational disease, you are entitled to benefits from the accident insurance.

How Does a Social Law Procedure Work?

Why I Should Be Your Attorney
Social law is a fight against bureaucracy. I know the system from the inside. I know how assessments are made, which arguments count in court, and how to get authorities to reconsider their decisions.
