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