A 71-year-old woman from Linz despairs at the inertia of the authorities. She wanted the craftsman's bonus for her disabled son, but it was rejected because she also gave his middle name. The mother was also worn down by the next steps taken by the authorities.

For 71-year-old Elfriede E., a rather banal matter became a hurdle race. But let her tell the story herself: "In July, I applied for the craftsmen's bonus for my disabled son, who lives in a shared flat in Oberneukirchen."
