Extension of rehabilitation pension until 31 August 2025
3 years of rehabilitation
Please note that the information on this page pertains to the disability and rehabilitation pension system that was in effect until August 31, 2025. Applicants from September 1, 2025, are assessed according to the new system, while those who had a valid assessment in the old system until at least August 31, 2025, were automatically transferred to the new system.
Below, you can find information about the new system:
Medical- and rehabilitation allowance from 1 September 2025
Disability pension from 1 September 2025
After a total of 3 years in rehabilitation, or a total of 36 months, the extension is reviewed in more detail than before.
Rehabilitation of previous occupational competence must have shown increased work ability or participation in employment. The reason for the re-entry to the labour market must be demonstrated.
It is also evaluated whether increased employment participation is a viable option.
If the increased labour force participation rate is assessed as realistic, rehabilitation can be extended by a maximum of 2 years, or 24 months.
If the employment participation rate is not considered realistic, you can consult your doctor.
