Disadvantage Compensation for Students with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses
Students with disabilities, chronic and mental illnesses as well as partial performance disorders have a legal entitlement to compensation for disadvantages (PDF) during their studies. This counteracts existing barriers and is intended to enable equal opportunities for participation. The representative for students with disabilities and chronic illnesses provides advice and support in applying for compensation for disadvantages during the course of studies.
