Timeline
- Why This Documentation Is Public-The plaintiff received access to the administrative file, which contained missing documents, incomplete notes, and absent medical records. Since social courts are public courts and the social state requires transparency, the entire case is documented step by step, without interpretation.
- 04 May 2025—A lawsuit was filed at the Social Court of Berlin against the statutory health insurer IKK Classic.
The lawsuit argues that the economic and physical destruction of the plaintiff was the result of five interlinked actions by the German statutory health insurer IKK Classic: the artificial creation of mass deficiency, manipulated accounting and concealed assets, the unlawful continuation of the proceedings, and a medically induced destruction of health that ultimately eliminated the plaintiff’s ability to work. The filing further states that IKK Classic issued contribution demands based on the very damage it helped create and suspended benefits immediately after the administrative dispute was transferred to the Social Court—without waiting for the court’s decision. - All referenced evidence is documented in the Social Court file S 71 KR 2202⁄24 and listed in the Document Archive.
