Over 1,000 citizens have sent their heating cost statements to the left party for verification, according to the “New Osnabrück Times” citing the party’s federal office.
So far, around 200 documents have been thoroughly checked, with every fifth one found to be incorrect. Tenants could reclaim up to 15% of their heating and hot water costs. “The fact that so many people are turning to the Left with their specific problems should be a warning signal for the federal government – apparently, there is a significant lack of concrete support in dealing with everyday life” said the top candidate and federal chairman Jan van Aken to the NOZ. The coalition government has been watching too long.
The Left Party called on people to send in their heating cost statements, and staff check these and support claimants if there is a right to a refund. Van Aken expects more than 2,000 submissions by the end of the year.
