Nachteilausgleichen
German to English
Social Sciences
Human Resources
The phrase refers to benefits (such as discounts and services) for handicapped (disabled) people.
For example, "Wichtiger Hinweis: Rechtsverbindliche Auskunfte zu allen Nachteilsausgleichen können
letztendlich nur die jeweils zuständigen Leistungsträger erteilen."
I have translated it as, "Important Note: Authorized information requests for all forms of compensation can only ultimately be provided by the competent service provider."
I am uncomfortable with the translation of "Nachteilausgleichen" as compensation. I was thinking also perhaps "compensatory benefits". Any thoughts?

I think the term was adequately dealt with last time we had it - "benefits", the word you yourself use, would do here.
