What you can do if the care insurance fund rejects your application to improve your living environment!

What you can expect here:

Has your application to improve your living environment been rejected by the care insurance fund? But what could be the reason for this? In this article, we show you what you should look out for when applying!

First of all, take a close look at the documents you have submitted and check them.

Pay particular attention to avoidable formal errorsthat could justify a rejection.

In fact, it is not uncommon for the long-term care insurance fund to reject such an application. There are many reasons for this, which we would like to explain to you in more detail.

The care insurance fund differentiates here, for example, between entries that have already been submitted, after the installation of a stairlift or according to necessity. Your care level is also decisive for a positive decision.

This means that if you have not yet received a care degree, you are not entitled to apply for a home improvement programme. If you have already been awarded a care degree but have already claimed a benefit for this, this usually leads to automatic rejection.

In your case, the care insurance fund will therefore explicitly ask itself the question of necessity. Imagine the following living situation in more detail:

You have a flat or house that extends over several floors. Your living room, kitchen and a bathroom are on the ground floor. On the first floor there is another bathroom as well as a guest room and your favourite hobby room, which unfortunately you can no longer reach due to the stairs.

Your basic care is therefore more than guaranteed on the ground floor. This is therefore a reason for the care insurance fund to reject it, as it is not a necessity in your everyday life.

If there is no bathroom or no possibility for a bathroom on the ground floor, the situation can be interpreted differently, as a bathroom and the associated need for hygiene and everyday life are a given.
