Too much strain from everyday life eventually leads to collapse. Protect yourself from it.

When everyday life becomes a burden, quick help is needed. In the long run, stress attacks not only the body, but also the brain. Your employer but also other places can offer you quick help.

One way to relieve the strain is to use domestic help. The prerequisite for your health insurance to cover the costs is a serious illness. If, for example, you are in hospital or in rehab, but especially in the case of serious illnesses such as cancer, the chance of being granted funds for domestic help is high. As an insured person, you are entitled to domestic help or reimbursement. Take advantage of this opportunity in any case. Applications for help and reimbursement can be made to your health insurance company. If you have to care for a seriously ill relative, a relative in need of care or a handicapped relative, you also have claims to support and relief in the household and in care. Here, too, the relevant health insurance funds can help.

Your employer can give you financial support in the form of tax-free allowances up to a certain amount. This amount can also be used for care services. In this case, your employer will give the amount to a service company that will advise you or arrange for you to receive care. What is important here is to know that your employer's help is of course only meant as relief, not as a bonus.
