Reduced earning capacity pension

If you are no longer able to work for health reasons, you can apply for a pension for full disability in Germany.

 

If you can work less than 3 hours a day, you are completely disabled. If you can work more than 3 hours but less than 6 hours a day, you will only receive a partial disability pension.

Requirements:

  • Previously, attempts were made to improve the situation through medical or vocational rehabilitation

  • if this is not possible, an appraisal is requested to check how much one can still work

  • you have to be insured with the pension provider for 5 years

  • of the 5 years you must have paid at least 3 years into the pension insurance

Contribution periods that can also be recognized are school periods from the age of 17.

 

In my case, this is limited to mid-2023.
