Social Insurance Administration: Disability pension

How do I apply for partial disability pension?

You do not apply for a partial disability pension separately. You apply for a disability pension, and your disability is assessed based on an integrated expert assessment. The outcome of the assessment will then determine your benefit entitlement. If your capacity for active participation in the labour market is assessed at 0–25%, you are entitled to a disability pension, but if your capacity for active participation in the labour market is assessed at 26–50%, you are entitled to a partial disability pension.

If you have already been assessed for a disability pension but want to explore transferring to a partial disability pension, you can apply for a transfer on My Pages at TR. However, please use the TR calculator to see your potential partial disability allowance based on your circumstances before you apply.
