Disability

You must meet one of the following 2 conditions throughout the term of insurance and the entire period of time contributed:

  • Have a permanent disability rate of at least 50% or a disability of comparable level
  • Have the status of disabled worker (DTH) for periods before 2016. This status is not taken into account for periods after 31 December 2015.

To check the simultaneous nature of the disability with the required duration, all periods are added (disabled worker, permanent disability, disability of comparable level).

You must justify your permanent disability rate of at least 50% or your disability of comparable level through certain documents.

If you meet the conditions for the duration of insurance and the duration of contributions, without having, for part of the duration of insurance, the administrative recognition of your disability rate or of your status as a disabled worker, you can request the validation of this period.

You must complete this validation request at the time of your retirement application.

In order to apply for this validation, you must have a permanent disability or at least a disability at the time of your application for retirement 80%.

The duration of services that can be validated is limited to 30% the total insurance period required.

You should contact your Carsat: titleContent an application for early retirement certification for disabled insured persons.
