Surviving dependents who are granted (or can probably be granted) care under the Federal Welfare Act or, in corresponding application of this law, e.g. can also receive help within the framework of welfare for war victims. The prerequisite is that the surviving dependents are unable to cover the recognized need from the other benefits under the aforementioned laws and other income and assets due to the loss of a spouse, parent, child or grandchild. Whether and to what extent income is to be taken into account depends on different and individual income limits. In certain cases, however, it is possible to refrain from using the income and assets. In addition to personal help, benefits in kind, one-off and ongoing grants and loans can be considered. Debts are usually not taken over. The main welfare offices and welfare offices are responsible for the welfare of war victims. Welfare for war victims is part of social compensation law. It is so called with regard to the largest group of those entitled to benefits, but includes all welfare benefits in social compensation law. It is regulated in paragraphs 25 to 27j of the Federal Pensions Act and serves to supplement the other benefits of the Federal Pensions Act with special assistance in individual cases. Therefore, a prerequisite for the granting of benefits is the recognition of a pension entitlement by the institution responsible for pensions for war victims. The benefits include benefits for participation in working life, sick help, help with care, help to continue the household, help for the elderly, educational allowance, supplementary help with living expenses, recovery help, housing help and help in special situations
