Sep 18, 2017 at 12:48 comment added bendl @ChristianGeiselmann she was located in Berlin near the Reunification, so perhaps not "Härtegeld." The suggestion for "Ortszuschlag" reminded me that I'm pretty sure "zuschlag" was part of it. Perhaps it was Ortszuschlag... I'll see if it catches anyone else's ear, but I think Buschzulage is also a good bet.

Umformulierung der Überschrift, um besser klarzumachen, worum es geht
Sep 18, 2017 at 11:26 comment added Christian Geiselmann There was an answer (now deleted) that mentioned "Härtegeld". It was deleted probably because somebody was afraid of being taken for a Nazi, as - as a commenter stated - the word was in use in Nazi times. However, I find it quite plausible that your "struggle money" goes back to that "Härtegeld". When was your mother in law in active employment?
Sep 18, 2017 at 11:24 comment added Christian Geiselmann Buschzulage war, in meiner Erinnerung, nicht eine Ausgleichszahlung fürs Leben an teuren Orten, sondern praktisch das Bestechungsgeld, das man jemandem versprach, damit er an einen unattraktiven Ort zieht. - Das mag eine Zeit lang das Gebiet der DDR gewesen sein, doch ist der Begriff nicht daran gebunden.
Sep 18, 2017 at 8:08 comment added user unknown @TAR86 Buschzulage gab es für Jobs im Osten, wo die Mieten besonders niedrig waren/sind.
Sep 18, 2017 at 7:21 comment added Takkat @tofro: not any more, at least not in Germany (don't know for other countries) - The "Ortszuschlag" is now the same for everybody independent of where they live (but depends on number of children).
Sep 18, 2017 at 7:10 comment added TAR86 @tofro That is the polite term for Buschzulage?
