Jobcenter Bescheide und Zahlungen prüfen lassen - wo?
the sozialverband vdk is another option, they're legit and do the same kind of checks for a small membership fee. there's a vdk berlin office near spandau in charlottenburg, easy to get to by the m32 bus. also try the "beratungsstelle für erwerbslose" in spandau, they're free and actually know the jobcenter tricks since they deal with them daily
tbh die website "hartz4widerspruch" is so lala, manche haben gute erfahrungen aber die sind oft überlaufen und antworten dauern ewig. in spandau gibt's den "sozialdienst katholischer frauen" an der brunsbütteler damm, die machen auch beratung für familien mit kindern, nicht nur für frauen. dein bruder sollte auf jeden fall seine lohnabrechnungen jeden monat pünktlich hochladen, am 1. oder 2. werktag, sonst berechnet das jobcenter oft mit altem durchschnitt und das gibt dann die nachforderungen
yeah the irregular hours thing is a nightmare with jobcenter algorithms, they basically can't handle variable income without messing up. your brother should apply for a "vorläufige Entscheidung" instead of the normal endgültige one, that way they calculate based on estimated income each month instead of playing catch-up later. it's not a fix but it stops the 5k Nachforderungen from building up.
for actual checking, skip the online portals and go to the "Jobcenter Berlin Spandau" selbst on Neuendorfer Str - they have a "Kundencenter" where you can request a "Kontenklärungsantrag" to see exactly what they think he owes. the clerks at that location are actually decent compared to other berlin jobcenters, I had a friend with similar variable income who got his stuff sorted after 3 visits there. bring a copy of ALL the Bescheide from the last 2 years, they'll often find their own calculation errors when you make them walk through it step by step.
What is the reason for the high number of helicopters flying over central neighborhoods recently?
Could be related to the demonstration near Invalidenstraße earlier, they often deploy police helicopters for that. I've also heard there's a film shoot happening around Potsdamer Platz this week.
