New disability pensions

In the new system, disability grant is no longer part of disability assessment. Therefore, no new individuals will receive an assessment for disability grant after 1 September 2025. However, individuals who had disability benefits until 31 August 2025 were transferred to the new system and received permanent disability assessment. Individuals with a disability grant can apply for a disability pension or a partial disability pension from 1 September 2025.

The amount of disability grant is:

• 51.118 ISK per month before taxes for 18 to 61 years old,

• 69.148 ISK per month before taxes for 62 to 67 years old.

Additional payments with disability grants:

• those who have children under the age of 18 on their own will receive 75% of the amount of the child pension with each child,

• persons with reduced mobility may apply for supplementation for disabled people who own a car.

Disability grant shall be cancelled if:

• wages exceed the income limit,

• an application for re-evaluation is submitted late,

• you become 67 years old because then you will be entitled to old age pension. You must apply for old age pension separately.
