If you are covered by the Danish Repatriation Act and you meet a number of conditions, you may be entitled to receive an ongoing monthly benefit called reintegration assistance.
If you want to know more about reintegration assistance, you must contact the Danish Refugee Council or your municipality of residence.
If you live abroad and receive reintegration assistance, you must confirm once a year that you are alive and that you are still entitled to receive your reintegration assistance.
In addition, you must complete a declaration each year providing information about your marital status, income, and assets. If you are married, Udbetaling Danmark will also require a declaration of your spouse’s income and assets. Udbetaling Danmark uses this information to calculate and pay your reintegration assistance.
You will therefore receive a letter from Udbetaling Danmark every year, asking you to complete the declarations and confirm that you are alive before the date stated in the letter. If you have MitID, you will receive the letter in Digital Post.
If someone else is going to help you with your reintegration assistance and repatriation assistance, you must first give that person power of attorney for the contact with Udbetaling Danmark. This also applies even if you live together and the other person just needs to talk to Udbetaling Danmark about your case.
For example, you can give power of attorney to someone you live with, a family member or a friend. With a power of attorney, you give the person permission to act on your behalf, e.g. to discuss your case, get information about your case or take over full responsibility for handling the case.
If the person who wants to give power of attorney does not have MitID, you can make a written power of attorney by completing a power of attorney form. Once the person has signed the power of attorney, you as a relative can help submit it digitally to Udbetaling Danmark by using your own MitID.
