Arbitration procedure

The Federal Government Commissioner for Matters relating to Persons with Disabilities has an Arbitration Service pursuant to Section 16 of the Act on Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (BGG). The Arbitration Service is tasked with resolving conflicts between persons with disabilities and federal public bodies.

You can call in the Arbitration Service if you are not satisfied with the answers you get from the contact option above. This is not about finding winners or losers. Rather, the objective is to find a solution to a problem together and out of court with the help of the Arbitration Service.

The arbitration procedure is free of charge. You do not need legal advice either.

You can find all the information about the arbitration procedure on the Arbitration Service's website. There you can read how an arbitration procedure works and how to apply for arbitration. You can also submit the application in plain language or in German sign language.
