What is Disability Pension?

It is the benefit granted by the INSS to workers who contribute to social security and are unable to carry out their work duties.

In this benefit, the main requirements are a grace period of at least 12 months of contribution to the social security.

And in addition, also the existence of the inability to work in any capacity due to illness or accident.

This means that it is not just a specific function, but any function, thus, the worker must be unable to work in any activity.

In this way, the Retirement due to Disability will be verified through medical expertise through previous examinations and clinical conditions of the insured person. In addition to diseases such as blindness, tuberculosis and Parkinson's, for example, mental illnesses also qualify for the benefit.

Who is entitled to assistance?

To receive the aid, you need to be a worker permanently disabled by illness or accident who has completed the grace period for INSS contributions, which is 12 months immediately prior - with the exception of some situations provided for in Law 8.213/91.

And besides, to get that right it doesn't matter what your work regime is.

Thus, you can be CLT, self-employed or even unemployed, you just cannot lose the quality of insured.

Also, the disabling illness or injury must also have occurred after the first contribution to Social Security, with the exception of cases in which the incapacity is a result of the health condition.
