I cannot believe it. I go to social workers since 6 years and they never gave me this advice. As so often I was whining about my hopeless financial situation in this forum and how this will drive me to commit suicide eventually. But a fellow German member sent me a PM at the end of March. They gave me hints about Pflegegeld/ care allowance. I am pretty dependent on my mom. She helps me a lot with my duties. I am pretty much a mental wreck. I was fully honest at the assessment. My mom helps me with my duties because I am not able on my own to do them and this is why we got that money.
In Germany there is seemingly something called "Pflegegeld" or "care allowance". I put a lot of effort into getting that money. I did a lot of research and wrote a pretty long essay why I should be eligible to get the money. Maybe considering all the effort maybe 10 hours were necessary for the full procedure. To be honest it seems like these 10 hours were the best invested time in my whole life thus far. We will get roundabout 300 euros per month and 1.600 euros extra per year for the care work of my mom. Thank you a lot Germany. This is why I like this country. You get paid for being a total mental wreck. I am not on welfare and this is not welfare money. Yes the procedure was sort of humiliating. However, there are many people on this planet who prostitute themselves for a lesser amount of money.
There likely won't be future assessments. We will get this money as long as my mom lives. I am scared she could get another stroke. But I should not worry this evening. I would need a substitute for her in case she dies. I am already ruminating who this could be.
We already received the money for 2 months. More than 600 Euros. It is insane. This could save my life. Or at least postpone my suicide for quite a while. I will buy me something to reward my effort. My family even wanted to stop me from applying for this money. My dad completely denies that reality (as so often).
I am quite happy about it. There are more competent people on a fucking suicide forum that is demonized by the media ad infinitum than all the social workers I met thus far. And yes there were many. Lmao.
