As an impaired person (known as a claimant), you can apply for treatment for health problems that have been recognised as the result of an injury or have been caused by a recognised consequence of an injury.

As an impaired person (known as a damaged person), you receive curative treatment for health damage that has been recognised as a consequence of an injury or has been caused by a recognised consequence of an injury. The purpose of curative treatment is to:

• To eliminate or improve health impairments or impairments of occupational or earning capacity caused by them,
• to reduce suffering,
• to avoid, overcome or reduce the need for care or to prevent it from becoming worse,
• to remedy physical ailments
• alleviate the consequences of the injury
• or to enable the greatest possible participation in life in society.

As a severely disabled person, you will also receive treatment for health problems that are not recognised as the result of an injury. However, this comprehensive entitlement does not apply if you have corresponding claims against another social insurance institution (e.g. health insurance fund). Restrictions also apply, for example, if you exceed certain income limits.

In addition, you and your dependants may be entitled to sickness benefits. However, your entitlement to sickness treatment is excluded if you already have a corresponding claim against another social insurance institution (for example, health insurance fund). Restrictions also apply to certain income limits, among other things.

Benefits for curative and medical treatment are generally provided as benefits in kind.

If you are granted a survivor's pension under the Federal Pension Act (Bundesversorgungsgesetz) or in application of this Act mutatis mutandis, you may receive supplementary welfare benefits as special assistance in individual cases.
