This is because if you receive pension fund payments exceeding the income threshold, they affect the calculation of sickness and rehabilitation benefits in the new system, resulting in a reduction. This may lead to lower payments compared to current payments or even their discontinuation. This mainly applies to individuals who receive relatively high payments from pension funds. The general income threshold for sickness and rehabilitation benefits is 40,000 krona per month, and there is a special income threshold of 160,000 krona per month for employment income.

However, additional pension savings do not affect the amounts of sickness and rehabilitation benefits.
