Celle (dpa / lni) - The regional social court in Celle is negotiating today (9:00 a.m.) whether the benefits for asylum seekers are sufficient for the subsistence level.

A mother and her child who live in the Osterholz district and are tolerated as asylum seekers from Eritrea have complained.

You are challenging the level of benefits in 2018 because cash benefits have not been adjusted to inflation since 2016.

According to the state social court, the nationwide applicable requirement rates were not adjusted until September 2019, but not retrospectively.

In the first instance, the responsible municipality was sentenced to pay higher benefits.

On the other hand, the joint community appealed because it was bound by legal regulations and the required adjustment of the benefits was so small that there was no threat to the subsistence level.
