No clearance
Do teachers get nothing if they move from one federal state to another?
Ms. B. worked as a compulsory school teacher in Styria for seventeen years. However, for personal reasons she had to move her residence to Lower Austria. Ms B. therefore agreed with the Styrian Education Directorate to terminate her employment relationship by mutual agreement. The catch: If the contract is dissolved by mutual consent, there is no legal entitlement to severance pay in the public service. The Education Directorate can agree on voluntary severance pay, but the federal government must agree to this. In the case of Ms. B. this did not happen. She therefore contacted the Ombudsman.
ORF / Chris Ecker Have 17 years of severance pay been lost for Ms. B.?
Less aircraft noise?
What do you do if the police disturb your night’s sleep?
Gerald T. from Schwechat has contacted the Ombudsman and complains about the noise pollution caused by police helicopters in Mannswörth in Lower Austria. These would often fly at low altitudes over built-up areas, especially in the evening hours, and thus represent an unnecessary burden on residents. According to the Interior Ministry, however, the surveillance flights are necessary to protect sensitive infrastructure. Has there been an improvement since the complaint a year ago?
ORF Has the noise situation improved for residents?

Injured through no fault of his own
When does the at-fault driver’s insurance pay for consequential damage?
Ms. M., now 58 years old, was seriously injured more than 12 years ago in a car accident that was not her fault. To this day she still suffers from the consequences of this head-on collision, which changed her life forever. She is unable to work and desperate. According to the insurance company of the other party in the accident, she is not entitled to payment for the costs of her therapies. Her complaints are age-related and have no connection with the accident
ORF / Gabi Hanke Ms. M. is still suffering from the consequences of the accident that was not her fault.
Why are large residential construction projects allowed to be built in settlements with single-family homes?
In the editorial team of Bürgeranwalt there are increasing complaints about the fact that in recent years there have been major expansions by property developers in areas where there were previously only one or two-family houses. In a park in Vienna-Hietzing, a residential complex with 42 apartments including offices and an underground car park is to be built in place of the former inn. Is that legal?
ORF On the edge of the Napoleon Forest, a multi-story residential complex with garages is to be built instead of the old inn.
