Injury pension due to reduced earning capacity

Treatment and rehabilitation do not always result in the complete restoration of the patient’s earning capacity. If, despite of all rehabilitation efforts, the earning capacity remains reduced by at least 20 per cent  for more than 26 weeks after the accident at the workplace, commuting accident or occupational illness, the accident and prevention insurance association pays an injury pension, as soon as the entitlement to injury benefits expires.

The amount of pension is proportional to the reduction of earning capacity. The full pension is paid if the earning capacity has been lost completely.
