A 57-year-old from St. Pölten flashes with a request for social aid, although his disease benefit is lower than the minimum security, but not far enough. And he also does not receive rehabilitation because, according to the authority, he can work despite immunotherapy. It is now being charged by the support of the Chamber of Labor.
August 2023 suddenly changed the life of Walter D. (57, name changed by the editors). Lung cancer happened to be diagnosed. A year later he was operated on, part of the lungs removed. D. fought back, but has since been a handicap of 70 percent. The 57-year-old must currently go to immunotherapy every three weeks. “She always puts me out of operation for four to five days. But it seems to help, “St. Pöltner has not lost his optimism.
Healthy enough for a job
And that despite the fact that there are also enormous financial concerns about the disease. Work is currently excluded. “I can hardly go 300 meters without getting out of breath,” said D., but the PVA sees it differently. At the end of the previous year, the rehabilitation field was canceled because he was healthy enough to practice a job. “Who will take me with me if I constantly enter because of the therapy?” Asks D., who had worked in the field for many years.
Suddenly he misses more than 200 euros a month. Although the family man, who lives alone, is already moving to a cheaper apartment, but with the sick wage of 1205.70 euros, he finds it difficult to make ends meet. As if that wasn’t enough, an application for social assistance was now rejected to support living. Because he earns too much per month.
Mourn against the PVA
Like this? To receive social help, he should be five euros below the minimum security limit (1209.01 euros). But he just doesn’t do it. “So I fall around 218 euros per month,” D. fills down. However, the St. Pöltner now receives support from the Chamber of Labor, which will represent him in a lawsuit against the PVA. It is about the rehabilitation field, among other things.
