Disability and your pension

If you were to fall ill while accruing pension via your employer, your pension will continue to accrue as usual for the first two years. If you have not recovered after two years, you can be declared fully or partially incapacitated for work.

Change in pension accrual after two years 
After two years, the Employee Insurance Administration Agency (UWV) will decide whether you are fit to return to work and, if so, to what extent. Based on its assessment, UWV will determine whether you qualify for benefits. UWV will automatically notify us of you having been declared incapacitated for work. To protect your privacy, we will not be informed of the reason for your disability.

Some employers arrange for a supplementary disability pension for their employees. This is a monthly amount that will be paid to you instead of your salary. Your pension scheme rules will tell you whether you are entitled to such a benefit. If you are, your benefit statement will specify which amount you are entitled to. Please remember: if you are partially incapacitated for work, you will only receive part of that amount.
