Reaching the age of 56

The bridging allowance and supplementary assistance can earliest be received at the age of 56.

In general, the compensation for a pension deduction is paid to supplement an old-age pension which is reduced by deductions due to early retirement, i.e. earliest from the age of 60.

If a reduced earning capacity pension is paid, from which deductions are made due to early drawing, the compensation is paid earliest at the age of 56. Benefits paid after reaching the standard minimum pensionable age are paid earliest from the standard minimum pensionable age as applicable to the insured individual.
