Kriegsopferrente für Eltern; Beantragung

Parents of victims of both world wars can apply for benefits in accordance with the Fourteenth Book of the German Social Code (SGB XIV).

If injured parties die as a result of an injury, their natural parents receive a monthly compensation payment (MEZ) if they are fully disabled or cannot reasonably be expected to work for other compelling reasons or have reached the age of 60. Adoptive parents, step-parents, foster parents and grandparents are equivalent to biological parents (with certain restrictions). Entitlement to benefits begins at the earliest in the month in which the child would have turned 18 and is excluded if certain income limits are exceeded.

The CET for each child who has died as a result of the injury is €157 for each parent, or €261 if only one parent is still alive.

• Proof of disability

Parents are fully incapacitated for work or cannot reasonably be expected to work for other compelling reasons or have reached the age of 60.

You must submit the application for benefits to the Zentrum Bayern Familie und Soziales.

As a rule, benefits begin in the month in which the requirements are met, at the earliest in the month of application. If the initial application is submitted by surviving dependants before one year has elapsed since the death of the injured party, the pension shall commence at the earliest in the month following the month of death.
