Informationsstelle AHV/IV
Hilflosenentschädigung der Invalidenversicherung (Merkblatt 4.13)
What this service does for you
The helplessness allowance is one of the most underrated IV benefits: It is available to people who regularly need help in daily life with dressing, getting up, eating or personal hygiene, which is very common after a severe stroke. Depending on the degree of severity (slight, medium, severe), a monthly lump sum is paid out. This applies regardless of who provides the care, whether it is professional care or your own family members. The official leaflet 4.13 is available in German, French and Italian and should be read by every affected family, as this benefit is often not checked automatically.
