Furthermore, according to § 4 AsylbLG, benefits are to be granted in the event of illness, pregnancy and childbirth. Furthermore, "other benefits" can be granted in accordance with § 6 AsylbLG if they are essential in individual cases to ensure subsistence or health, to cover the special needs of children or to fulfill an administrative obligation to cooperate.
