Reduced earning capacity pension: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how workers with health issues can receive monthly pension payments if they can no longer work more than six hours a day.

This scheme provides financial support to workers who can no longer work full-time because of health problems.

Who it's for

You may qualify if your health issues prevent you from working more than six hours a day.

What you get

You will receive a monthly pension payment. The amount of money you receive is calculated based on how much you previously earned.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to apply, but the process requires significant time and effort. You will need to provide extensive medical documentation and undergo a formal review process to prove your condition.

The catch to know

The authorities are very strict when deciding how much your capacity to work is reduced. They use a specific evaluation to distinguish between a "partial" reduction and a "full" reduction in your ability to work.

How to apply

  1. Gather all relevant medical records and documentation regarding your health.
  2. Contact the relevant pension authority to begin the assessment.
  3. Complete the required medical reviews and evaluations.
  4. Submit your formal application for review.
