Supporting people who are unable to work for the long term due to illness or accident – ​​that is the mission of the disability insurance (IV). But incorrect reports, a lack of control and chronic underfunding are destroying the lives of insured people. For years. _____________________________________________ ????

A report commissioned by the disability insurance stated that she was 100 percent fit to work. Although Stefanie Basler was unable to work after two snowboarding accidents. Lawyer Bettina Umhang is making this case public for the first time on “DOK”: “After eleven years of legal battle with the disability insurance, the 37-year-old ended her life in 2017 – completely impoverished and desperate.” Stefanie Basler's case documents what has been going wrong with disability insurance for years: people whose suffering cannot be clearly identified using imaging are almost defenselessly exposed to assessment bodies, courts and authorities. "DOK" shows why the "debate" about bogus invalids still has an impact today. How dubious assessment companies cash in at the expense of the seriously ill and politicians are unwilling to take systematic action with the IV. _____________________________________________ ▪ A film by Kathrin Winzenried ▪ Camera: Adrian Baumann, Sergio Cassini ▪ Editing: Jessie Fischer ▪ Production: Christine Albrecht ▪ Director: Nathalie Rufer _____________________________________________ This is "DOK": our in-depth documentaries on topics from society, nature, politics, sport and business.
