How To Get Compensation For A Pension Disability Claim

If you are in a position where you are required to continue working due to a disability, you may be eligible to apply for disability pension benefits. This can be a major benefit to you as the pension benefits will be paid directly to you by the state.

There are different types of disability pensions that you can apply for and you may be able to get more than one if you meet the requirements.

There are two main types of disability pensions, which are defined in section 4 of the Pension Act.

These are:

• Incapacity to work – this is normally a condition that has lasted for more than six months.

• Incapacity to earn – this is a condition that has lasted for more than 12 months.

In both cases you must also meet the eligibility requirements for the pension.

The amount that you will receive will depend on the type of disability pension you are entitled to. The following table gives you a breakdown of the amount you will receive depending on the type of disability pension you are applying for.

Amount

Incapacity to work

$1,300 a week

If you have a pension disability then it will be possible to continue to receive your pension payments until the age of 65. If you were in receipt of a pension at the time that you became disabled, then it is likely that you will continue to receive the pension even after you reach the age of 65.

If you do not apply for a pension disability, then you will need to wait until the age of 66 before you start receiving the pension payments.

In addition, you will not be able to make any pension contributions during the period that you are receiving the disability pension. However, you will still be able to make contributions to your occupational pension.

There are certain circumstances where you may be able to claim a pension that is higher than the standard rate. This may be due to a medical condition that has been diagnosed and which is causing you a long term condition. This may include diabetes, asthma, heart problems, arthritis and similar conditions.

If you meet the requirements for a higher pension, then the state will pay you the amount that is above the standard rate. In order to qualify for a higher pension you must be in receipt of the standard rate.

There are also certain circumstances where you can apply for a pension disability that is higher than the standard rate. This is known as an exceptional rate.

To qualify for an exceptional rate, you will need to show that the reason why you are unable to work is due to a serious and long term medical condition. If you are suffering from a mental health problem, such as depression, then this is not considered to be a serious condition. You will also need to have worked for the state for a continuous period of 10 years prior to your application.

In order to apply for an exceptional rate, you will need to submit a form to the state. This will need to be completed within a year of the date that you became disabled. In order to receive an exceptional rate, it is essential that you apply within three months of the date that you became disabled.

If you are in receipt of an exceptional rate, then the state will pay you a higher amount than the standard rate. In addition, the state will continue to pay you the pension even after you reach the age of 65.

There is also a possibility that you can apply for a special rate of pension.

This is only available to people who were in receipt of an occupational pension before they became disabled. In order to apply for a special rate of pension, you must have worked for the state for a continuous period of 30 years.

When you are in receipt of a special rate of pension, then the state will pay you a higher amount than the standard rate.
