Applying for payment of compensation for damage caused by radiation to game

Source: Zuständigkeitsfinder Schleswig-Holstein (Linie6Plus)

Service Description

If the game you have shot is contaminated with more than 600 becquerels of caesium per kilogram, you can apply for compensation.

Food with a radiocesium content of more than 600 becquerels per kilogram may not be marketed in Germany and must be destroyed.

If the game you have shot is accordingly contaminated with radiation/radioactive contamination and may not be marketed, an application will be made to determine whether you will be paid compensation.

If the requirements are met, a lump sum will be paid to you as compensation depending on the game animal.

Submit your application (main form and attachment(s)) for payment of compensation and the above-mentioned proof by post to your competent regional office. They will forward your application (main form and attachment(s)) to the Federal Office of Administration (BVA) after checking it without the necessary supporting documents.
