• Have a minimum number of quarters of pension insurance contributors (all pension schemes)
• Either have pursued your professional activity during that period, by being suffering from a permanent incapacity at least equal to 50% (or, for periods prior to 31 December 2015, to have pursued your professional activity as a disabled worker - RQTH), either have pursued your professional activity during that period, while being in disability comparable to the rate of permanent disability of 50%

Attach the following documents to your application:

• Proof of your permanent disability of 50% or of your disability is equivalent to a permanent disability of €50 during the required insurance period
• And/or proof of your status as a disabled worker for periods prior to 31 December 2015

Don't stop working until you have confirmed your situation with your other basic and supplementary pension plans.

Your pension is calculated on full rate (without discount) regardless of your number of pension insurance quarters.

If you do not have the number of quarters of pension insurance required to qualify for a full rate pension, your retirement pension paid by the SRE or NACL is increased.

The amount of the increase depends on the length of time you were disabled and your total insurance period validated with the Civil and Military Retirement Pensions Fund (CMPRF) or the NRACL.

It is calculated according to the following formula:

(Duration of pension insurance contributed to CMIRP or NACHR with disability / Total duration of pension insurance validated with CMIRP or NACHR - with or without disability) x

The increase in pension cannot allow you to receive a higher pension than the amount you would have received if you had the insurance period needed to receive a full-rate pension.

If the amount of your increased pension is less than guaranteed minimum retiring, called minimum contributionYes, that's the minimum amount that's paid to you.
