Procedure details
Description
Compensation is paid for the health and economic consequences of a vaccination injury. This requires a vaccination complication, i.e. damage to health that goes beyond a normal vaccination reaction. It is necessary that the damage to health and its consequences are likely to be attributable to the vaccination in question.
In most cases, the amount of possible benefits depends on the severity of the damage to health caused by the vaccination and the vaccination complication. Eligible persons are entitled, among other things, to medical treatment and sickness treatment, possibly a monthly basic pension, compensation for occupational disadvantages, medical and occupational rehabilitation measures. Surviving dependants may be entitled to a survivor's pension as maintenance compensation. The extensive list of benefits corresponds to the benefits for war victims.
Injured persons are also entitled to curative education, remedial gymnastics and exercise therapy as part of their medical treatment if this is necessary.
Requirements
People who have suffered a health impairment as a result of a vaccination complication can apply for benefits.
Required documents
-
Declaration of consent
A written declaration is required that you agree to the collection of findings and reports from the treating doctors and hospitals. However, this can also be submitted later.
Proceedings
You can submit the application informally to the responsible Bavarian Center for Family and Social Affairs (or any other authority).
The Zentrum Bayern Familie und Soziales will check the facts of the case. First of all, it must be determined whether a publicly recommended vaccination or a vaccination against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (usually also publicly recommended) is available.
The documents relating to the health damage are then obtained from the treating hospitals and doctors and examined; if necessary, an assessment is carried out to determine the health consequences and their connection with the vaccination complication.
The benefits to which you may be entitled are then examined; this depends on the specific needs of the injured person.
Fees
none
Deadlines
None. In principle, however, benefits are only paid from the month in which the application was submitted. However, if the application is submitted within one year of the damaging event, benefits will be paid from the date on which the vaccination injury occurred.
Processing time
The processing time depends on how quickly the investigation can be completed. This may take some time if the necessary documents are not available or a medical assessment is required.
Special notes
In order for the facts of the case to be examined, you must consent to the authorities obtaining information about your state of health.
