Requirements
Chronic illness with additional financial expenses abroad
Proof
Honorary Declaration for Additional Funding for Erasmus traineeship. You agree to provide
supporting proof/documentation upon request.
Possible Proof: Medical certificate, stating additional financial expenses abroad because of the chronic illness; notification from the office for social services (Landessozialamt), etc.
Real Cost Application
If particularly high additional costs arise for your stay abroad, a so-called "real cost application" can be submitted instead with a few months´ notice. For this, it is necessary to provide a detailed list with all items expected to cause additional costs. Combining this funding and a top-up is possible if the reason of the top-up (e.g. continuously employed during studies) and the "real cost application" (e.g. chronic illness) are different. The application has to be submitted with at least three months´ advance notice.
