If you disagree with the level of entitlement you were granted, or if your claim for long-term care benefit has been denied, you can appeal against the decision.
The appeal must be submitted to the Advisory Commission or a Regional Labor Court.
Please note, an appeal may lead either to the increase or confirmation without change of your level of entitlement, baring, in any case the reduction of your entitlement live.
