Frequently asked questions
Who is at particular risk of income gaps due to occupational disability?
Those who are not affiliated to a pension fund are at particular risk of pension gaps upon occupational disability, i.e. students, the self-employed or stay-at-home mothers or fathers. But even those who have made early withdrawals from occupational pension to fund home ownership can also be affected by income gaps.
Can I save on tax with the occupational disability pension?
You have the option of deducting the paid annual premium in accordance with the legal limit from your taxable income. This way you reduce your annual tax burden.
Do my family members also receive money in the event of my death?
No. But you have the option of taking out term life insurance as supplementary insurance for the occupational disability pension.
What is a waiting period and what are the conditions?
The waiting period is the period between the commencement of occupational disability until the first pension payment is disbursed. You can choose between a three, six, twelve or 24-month waiting period.
