What this service does for you

If an AHV or IV pension no longer covers the costs for rent, home care or a care home after a stroke, the IAS checks if you can get supplementary benefits. Uncovered medical costs, such as extra payments for therapies and medicines, can also be paid through these benefits. An informal request is enough to start the calculation of your claim. Because AHV, IV and EL are managed by the same institute, relatives can clarify several questions in one appointment.
