työkyvyttömyyseläkkeestä

Työkyvyttömyyseläkkeestä, also known as disability pension, is a type of social security benefit provided to individuals in Finland who are unable to work due to a permanent disability. The benefit is granted by the Finnish Centre for Pensions, which is responsible for managing the country's social security system.

To be eligible for a disability pension, an individual must meet certain criteria, including having a permanent disability that prevents them from working in their previous occupation or in any other occupation. The disability must be evaluated by a doctor and certified by the Finnish Social Insurance Institution. The individual must also have paid social security contributions for a certain number of years.

If an individual is found eligible for a disability pension, they will receive a monthly benefit that is based on their previous income. The amount of the benefit is determined by a complex formula that takes into account the individual's previous income, pension contributions, and other factors. The benefit is intended to provide the individual with a level of income that is similar to what they would have earned if they were still working.

In addition to the monthly benefit, a disability pensioner may also be entitled to other forms of support, such as assistance with housing costs, health care costs, and other expenses. The eligibility and level of support can vary depending on the individual's circumstances.

A disability pension is usually granted for life, unless the individual's circumstances change and they are no longer eligible. The pension can also be assessed and adjusted periodically to ensure that it remains fair and relevant to the individual's current needs.
