It is then checked whether there are or need measures to help the person concerned to earn their living again.

Below:

  • medical rehabilitation

Heil has also announced that recipients of disability pensions will receive an additional

7.5 percent

from July 1, 2024

.

All those who entered the disability pension between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2014 receive the subsidy.

For the state, this means that in 2024 it will have to raise around 1.3 billion euros more for additional pension expenditure.

In the following year it should be double, after that the additional expenditure will decrease again, it concludes.
