A code in the severely disabled ID rejected?

The codes in the severely disabled ID (G, aG, B, H, RF and others) are worth real money: they decide on discounted public transport, tax allowances, an accompanying person and more. If a code is rejected, an objection is often worthwhile.

Your chances of getting your money back

The codes stand for certain compensations for disadvantages: G (significant walking impairment), aG (exceptional walking impairment), B (entitlement to an accompanying person), H (helpless), RF (broadcasting fee reduction), Bl (blind), Gl (deaf). Each has its own medical requirements.
Against the rejection of a code you can file an objection within one month (§ 84 SGG). Often the office lacks current medical findings, which you can submit later.

Frequently asked questions

What do the codes in the severely disabled ID mean?

They stand for concrete compensations for disadvantages: G and aG for walking impairments (public transport, parking concessions), B for the entitlement to bring an accompanying person, H for 'helpless' (tax allowance, public transport), RF for a broadcasting fee reduction, Bl for blind and Gl for deaf. Each has its own medical requirements.
