Abstract

Health status is one of the most common reasons for granting social assistance. At the same time, circumstances such as illness, disability or addiction are the matter of separate legal regulations. The aim of this article is to discuss a group of reasons for a difficult life situation related to health status and the corresponding social assistance benefits. An analysis of the current legal solutions leads to the conclusion that sometimes social assistance benefits may take the form of health benefits. The boundary between the sphere of social assistance and health care should be seen in the assumption that the role of social assistance is to complement other systems.
