If you do not agree with a decision according to the Thüringer Sinnesbehindertengeldgesetz (ThürSinnbGG), you can file an objection against it. When the objection is filed, the so-called preliminary proceedings begin, in which the administration checks whether the objection is justified.

If the initial authority, in this case the social welfare offices of the counties and independent cities, comes to the conclusion that the objection is justified, it will grant it in full or, if necessary, in part. If the initial authority is of the opinion that the objection should be rejected, it passes the objection on to the competent objection authority, in this case the Thuringian State Administrative Office. The latter then makes a final decision on the appeal and issues the notice of appeal.
