How do I apply with a severe disability in Germany?

People with severe disabilities (GdB >= 50) have special rights in the application process in Germany. SGB IX §165: Employers with 20+ employees are obliged to invite severely disabled applicants to an interview if they meet the formal requirements — unless suitability for the position is obviously lacking. AGG §1: Discrimination on grounds of disability is prohibited. Disclosure obligation: You are NOT obliged to disclose your disability in your application — unless it directly affects the position. Benefits of disclosure: Mandatory interview invitation, dismissal protection (SGB IX), additional leave (5 days under §208 SGB IX). Practical resources: Inclusion office (formerly Integration office), BA counselling for people with disabilities, Aktion Mensch job board.
