New system – improvements for your benefit

29th August 2025

A milestone will be reached on 1 September when a new system for disability pension and new medical- and rehabilitation allowance takes effect. Since the law was passed in June 2024, work has been ongoing to prepare for these extensive changes.

The website has been updated so that information about the new system is published under the relevant categories. Information about the old system is also available on the website.

Due to the new system, we now have two calculators on the tr.is homepage; one is exclusively for calculations according to the new payment categories from 1 September, while the other is for old-age pensions.

We look forward to implementing a new system which includes, among other things, increased consultation with other service providers such as healthcare institutions, municipal social services, the Directorate of Labor and VIRK – Vocational Rehabilitation Fund. Likewise, we expect that with the new system, we can provide even better service.
