75% of disabled persons aged 18–67 who live in Iceland and have resided in Iceland or worked in another EEA country are entitled to disability pension.

Disability assessment is a prerequisite for receiving a disability pension or disability allowance.

Rehabilitation is for people with reduced work ability and want to increase it. Rehabilitation pensions ensure a living during active rehabilitation.

When it is time to re-evaluate your disability, the process is similar to the first application, but the application process can take up to 6 weeks.

Those who receive a measured disability of 50 to 74% receive disability grants due to reduced work capacity.

You can apply for an extension to the rehabilitation pension if return to the labour market is still considered a possibility.

Testing for COVID-19 will take place at the HSN Clinic Hafnarstræti, from October 5th.
