This means that you receive support for food, accommodation, heating, clothing, personal hygiene and household items.
You can also receive benefits for personal items such as travel tickets.
If you are pregnant, you will receive additional help in the form of maternity clothes or clothing for your baby.
Medical assistance can be granted if you are ill, need a vaccination or want to have a check-up.
Further assistance is possible, for example for school materials or an interpreter.
