How it works

LeistungsLotse is the easiest way to get your social security benefits!

Our mission: We want to make social services more accessible.

Many people who are entitled to social benefits do not claim them. The most common reasons for this are bureaucratic hurdles such as lack of knowledge, excessive demands and language barriers.

We are your support for the welfare state. There is actually a suitable social benefit for almost every type of hardship. We will help you to find it and apply for it in an uncomplicated way.

FAQ

You can find our current pilot application under ‘Check now’.

Our goal is to cover as many social benefits as possible. Due to the large number, we will gradually add social benefits. You can already use our application to test which benefit you may be entitled to.

Checking what you are entitled to is free of charge for you. You can apply directly for some types of benefits. This service costs 20 €. However, we will support you every step of the way.

If, despite our check, you are not entitled to the benefit, you will receive a refund upon submission of the rejection notice. Fair Deal!

Yes, LeistungsLotse also offers its application to authorities that want to make it easier for citizens to apply. Our tool makes it easier for users to submit a coherent application. This means that authorities also benefit from complete and better applications. We are familiar with the common data standards and know the needs of social service providers.

We will encrypt your personal data using SSL when it is transferred from your computer to our server. Your data is stored in an encrypted database at a German data centre of the market leader Hetzner. Your data is therefore secured in accordance with the GDPR.

Of course, you can delete your data at any time. However, if you wish to use Leistungslotse again (e.g. for a follow-up application), you will have to re-enter your data.
