You can call on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. <strong>Integration assistance<\/strong> covers various areas of daily life. These include, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Assistance in <strong>day-to-day life<\/strong>, e.g., with cooking, shopping, or mobility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Assistance in school or work<\/strong>, for example through school assistants or work assistants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Residential options<\/strong> such as assisted living or support in your own home<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Encouraging social interaction<\/strong>, e.g., accompanying individuals to leisure activities or cultural events<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The services can be performed as benefits in kind (e.g., assistance services provided by a service provider) or cash benefits (payment via a personal allowance, e.g., personal assistance) \u00e2\u20ac\u201c depending on what makes the most sense for the person concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-94bd7805671bf9b1e3768480d9454051\" style=\"color:#1e256d\"><strong><strong>Who is entitled to integration assistance?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">People who have a (potential) disability that causes a limitation to their participation in society are entitled to <strong>integration assistance<\/strong>. This involves assessing whether the limitations are permanent or temporary and whether the assistance is necessary to enable the person to live more independently. Children and adolescents with developmental delays or special needs can also receive services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">An application must be submitted to the <strong>responsible Integration Assistance Office<\/strong>. In most cases, this is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landkreis-northeim.de\/buergerservice\/dienstleistungen\/eingliederungshilfe-fuer-erwachsene-mit-behinderungen-oder-fuer-minderjaehrige-mit-koerperlichen-geistigen-oder-sinnesbeeintraechtigungen-beantragen-900001569-0.html?myMedium=1&amp;auswahl=0\">Northeim District<\/a>. There, individual needs (BENi) are determined. Independent counseling centers can also provide support in this regard. A participation in society plan can then be drawn up based on the needs assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-331edf67fe11a865b29f7603cd4185e4\" style=\"color:#1e256d\"><strong><strong>How does the application process work?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">First, you should have a consultation with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landkreis-northeim.de\/buergerservice\/dienstleistungen\/eingliederungshilfe-fuer-erwachsene-mit-behinderungen-oder-fuer-minderjaehrige-mit-koerperlichen-geistigen-oder-sinnesbeeintraechtigungen-beantragen-900001569-0.html?myMedium=1&amp;auswahl=0\">Integration Assistance Office<\/a>. There you will receive information on how to apply and about possible services. In the application, you should describe exactly in which areas support is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Important: You don't need to have a ready-made plan \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the point is to find solutions together. Medical reports or statements from specialists are also often required. If you are unsure, talk to a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dani017.supserv.cozmoslabs.com\/en\/wo-finde-ich-beratung-ueber-assistenz\/\">local support center<\/a><\/strong> beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4dcd80fa34242a5e66ce25c793354768\" style=\"color:#1e256d\"><strong><strong>Example: New opportunities for Jonas<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Jonas is 32 years old and has an intellectual disability. After years living with his parents, he now wants to live more independently. With the support of <strong>integration assistance<\/strong>, he moves into a small apartment with an assistant. He is also receiving support in the form of vocational training at a workshop. For Jonas, this means greater independence, social interaction, and genuine participation in society \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a significant step forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3c8582fbe885a2a432fc006b6c6e4741\" style=\"color:#1e256d\"><strong><strong>Consideration of income and assets<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In order to receive integration assistance services, in many cases a financial contribution must be made once a certain income level is reached. However: The <strong>allowances<\/strong> for income and assets are significantly higher today than they used to be, and relatives are much less likely to be called upon to contribute to the costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Federal Participation Act removed integration assistance from social welfare in 2020. Now there are no longer strict income and asset limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">You can find easy-to-read tables showing the income or asset thresholds above which a personal contribution is required at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betanet.de\/eingliederungshilfe-einkommen-und-vermoegen.html\">betanet<\/a>. For example: If you receive pension income, you are only required to pay a personal contribution toward integration assistance services if your annual income exceeds 26,964 euros (as of May 26, 2025). Annual income refers to income minus income-related expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the Northeim District, as the provider of integration assistance \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or the local support centers in the district \u00e2\u20ac\u201c can provide further information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The rules governing youth welfare apply to the use of income and assets for integration assistance for children and young people with mental disabilities. Here too, betanet provides useful information under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betanet.de\/eingliederungshilfe-fuer-seelisch-behinderte-kinder-und-jugendliche.html\">Integration assistance for children and young people with mental disabilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Conclusion: Live more independently with integration assistance<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>telephone number<\/strong> is: 0800-881 1882.
