Das System IV – Die unheimliche Macht der Gutachter | DOK | SRF

Supporting people who are unable to work long-term due to illness or accident – ​​that is the mission of the Disability Insurance (IV). However, incorrect assessments, lack of monitoring, and chronic underfunding are destroying the lives of insured people. For years. _____________________________________________ 🔔 Subscribe to SRF Dok now on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/srfdok?sub_co... 👉 Would you like to suggest a topic for us?

A report commissioned by the Disability Insurance found her 100 percent fit for work. Even though Stefanie Basler was unable to work after two snowboarding accidents. Attorney Bettina Umhang is making this case public for the first time on "DOK": "After eleven years of legal battles with the disability insurance system, 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 diagnosed with imaging are left almost defenseless by assessment centers, courts, and authorities. "DOK" shows why the "debate" about bogus disability continues to have an impact today. How dubious assessment firms cash in at the expense of seriously ill people and how politicians are unwilling to take systematic action with the disability insurance system. _____________________________________________ ▪ 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, sports, and business.
