People with disabilities and those at risk of disability who are registered with their main residence in Hamburg apply for their personal budget at the responsible district office (see link integration assistance). The personal budget is not a new service, but merely a new form of service provision and provision. It is provided in the form of a cash benefit or as vouchers. With the help of the personal budget, the individual need for support can be tailored to meet specific needs. The person concerned decides who will support them in what form and to what extent. The personal budget cannot only include the services of one service provider (cross-agency personal budget).
