Why people still choose support even if they could try alone
Some customers can try the process themselves, but the friction usually comes from forms, documents, language and follow-up rather than from the decision alone.

FAQ
Can I apply for a pension refund myself?
You may be able to try the refund process yourself, but many people use support to reduce document mistakes, German-language friction and authority back-and-forth from abroad. The value is usually a clearer process, external legal support where needed and less bureaucracy, not a promise that every case becomes easy.
