Partial pension as a “new early pension”: What you need to know. Anyone who would like to claim a pension before reaching retirement age can do so with the so-called partial pension.
You can have part of your pension paid out, subject to two limits. The German pension insurance informs that this is intended to make the transition into retirement easier. If you make use of the option, you have the advantage of being entitled to sick pay in addition to your pension in the event of illness.
