Social Insurance Administration: Medical- and rehabilitation allowance from September 1st 2025

Is there one single application for the new medical- and rehabilitation allowance, partial disability pension, and disability pension, or is there a separate one for each?

There are two applications, one for the new medical- and rehabilitation allowance and another for disability pension. It is not possible to apply specifically for a partial disability pension; the outcome of the integrated expert assessment determines whether a disability pension or a partial disability pension is approved, or if the application is denied because rehabilitation has not been fully attempted or the capacity for activity in the labor market is greater than 50%.
