Receive a pension from the statutory accident insurance

Service Description

If your earning capacity is reduced after an accident at work or due to an occupational illness, you will receive a pension from the statutory accident insurance.

After an insured event, you are entitled to a pension from the statutory accident insurance scheme under certain conditions.

If you are unable to work full-time, you will be granted a full pension. This amounts to two thirds of your annual salary.

If you have a reduction in earning capacity (MdE), you will receive a partial pension. This is calculated as a percentage and is based on

  • the degree of your incapacity for work
  • the amount of your annual earnings
    • Annual earnings are the total amount of wages and earned income in the 12 months prior to the month in which the insured event occurred.

The following are considered insured events

  • Accidents at work,
  • commuting accidents (e.g. on the way to work),
  • occupational illnesses.

You will receive a pension if:

  • your earning capacity is permanently reduced as a result of one or more insured events (MdE),
  • the consequences of previous insured events worsen over time.

The MdE indicates the extent to which your ability to work is restricted. Your entire working life is taken into account.

For young insured persons, the MdE is based on the effects that would result for adults with the same health impairment.

There are minimum and maximum limits for annual earnings. The minimum limit for adults is 60 percent of the current reference value. This is the average income of all persons insured under the statutory pension insurance scheme. The maximum limit for earnings is twice the reference figure in the year of the accident.
