Disability pension

A disability pension is granted to an insured person who has suffered permanent incapacity as a result of an accident or illness, provided they have made contributions for at least 8 years.

A worker is deemed to be disabled if they have suffered an illness or accident resulting in a reduction of two-thirds of their physical or mental capacity.

The disability pension is awarded on a temporary basis and is reviewed if the person regains some of their abilities.

When calculating the disability pension for non-work-related causes, the period between the date of disability and the worker’s 50th birthday is counted as half (6 months per year).

It is withdrawn and replaced by a standard pension without any reduction if the victim reaches the age of 50.
