The Antrag is the formal request to an authority. The Bescheid is the official decision — always in writing. The Aktenzeichen is the case number, always quote it in correspondence. The Frist is the deadline: miss it = rejection. Processing can take months. Forms: Anlage (attachment), Sachbearbeiter (your caseworker). Rule: written beats spoken, signed beats anonymous.

- ●Objection is the free second chance — file it on time
