Bearing two signatures, on alleged discrimination over long-term care benefits for pensioners  

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioners, a German-Italian married couple, explain that while residing in Germany they receive Italian pensions given that they have completed their professional careers in Italy. They complain that compared to German citizens, they are treated differently as regards long-term care entitlements and are eligible only to payments-in-kind. They allege this different treatment stems from EU law and they seek resolution to their problem.
