An Invalidity Pension is payable to an insured person who is under the age of 60 years and has been assessed as permanently incapable of work by a medical board, provided the incapacity is not due to an employment injury and the contribution conditions are satisfied.
An insured person must have a minimum of 150 weeks of paid contributions in the last 3 years immediately before the date of the claim.
Benefit rate definition: The Invalidity Pension is calculated at 30% of average insurable earnings for the first 500 contribution weeks, plus 1% for each additional 50 weeks thereafter. The pension is reviewed periodically and may be converted to a Retirement Pension when the insured person reaches the age of 60.
