töövõimetuspensioneid

Töövõimetuspensionid are a type of pension in Estonia intended for individuals who have lost at least 40% of their working capacity. This loss of working capacity is assessed by the Estonian National Social Insurance Board, the Sotsiaalkindlustusamet. The assessment considers both medical factors and the individual's ability to perform work-related tasks.

To be eligible for a töövõimetuspension, an individual must also meet certain age and insurance period requirements. Generally, the pension is paid until the person reaches the age of retirement pension eligibility. The amount of the pension is calculated based on the individual's average earnings during their years of employment and the duration of their insurance period. There are different types of töövõimetuspension, including partial and full disability pensions, depending on the degree of lost working capacity.

The purpose of töövõimetuspension is to provide financial support to individuals who are unable to earn a living due to a disability or long-term illness. The system aims to ensure a basic level of income security for those who are unable to participate in the labor market. Applications for töövõimetuspension are submitted to the Sotsiaalkindlustusamet, which then proceeds with the assessment process. Further information and specific eligibility criteria can be found on the official website of the Estonian National Social Insurance Board.
