Good day,
You don’t get anything here in Germany
more … I have 50% GDB and I don’t get any
Pension, not even by court. Am already
chronic pain patient for 10 years..
I always applied and only rejections .. Job center drives people
In suicide! .

The job center can psychologically destabilize people so that they think of suicide, I can only confirm from my own experience. Outrageous questions and rejection. Most employees don’t look you in the eye for a reason. Hartz 4 violates the Basic Law because human dignity is not respected. You feel worthless because you cannot help yourself and everything is taken from you that you worked through before and then got sick because our working world makes you sick.
When I went to the job center I felt bad, when I came out I felt worthless for this company. But that is wanted. Do not let it get you down, look for ways out, otherwise they have achieved what they want – better statistics!

Since you’re right I’m also just being held up

We are a small business with 4 people, my boss supports me, only I am currently ill. and indirectly he has already made me understand that I am not tenable. what should I do?

Hello Bayer. In this situation, I would submit an aggravation request for severe disability to the relevant office. Also make an appointment with the pension insurance company so that you know what the status of the pension account is.
