What this service does for you

This is the most important address if your pension and income are no longer enough after a stroke. In the Canton of Lucerne, WAS is the cantonal compensation office. However, you must submit the application form for supplementary benefits to the AHV branch of your own municipality, not directly to WAS in Kriens. If you do not know this, you will send the form to the wrong place. The claim applies retroactively if you apply within six months after the pension confirmation. Open to all Lucerne municipalities, the local AHV branch also offers personal advice.
