Most common mistakes

  • An employer terminates an employee's employment without prior approval from the Integration Office (the termination is then invalid)
  • Unterlagen nicht vollständig – vor Abgabe Checkliste prüfen

Common reasons for rejection

  • The termination is not related to the disability—however, approval may still be denied if the justification is insufficient

Alternatives

  • Check related services in the application assistant
  • Use social counselling before applying

If rejected

File a written objection within 30 days – with reasons why the decision is wrong and any missing evidence.
