Social Insurance Administration: Professionals - on changes to disability and rehabilitation payments (1)

What impact will the pension funds have on disability pension payments in the new system?

Allowances from pension funds exceeding the exemption limit affect the calculation of disability pension in the new system, resulting in a reduction. This may lead to lower payments compared to the old system. This applies almost exclusively to individuals who receive relatively high payments from their pension fund.

However, additional pension savings do not affect the amounts of disability pension.
