Understand how disability retirement works
One of the rules that most people are familiar with is that it takes more than just being sick to qualify for disability pension. This is because, in fact, any illness can guarantee access to disability retirement, as long as the illness renders the worker permanently unable to work.
As such, there is no single rule that only these illnesses qualify for retirement. On the contrary, it is the conditions that this disease causes to the worker that invalidate their ability to work. Therefore, if you or a family member is ill and unable to work, any illness can result in disability benefits being awarded.
It is worth mentioning that the whole process is quite dense, since the worker must undergo medical examinations, medical expertise and reports to prove in fact the incapacity in their activity labor. In this way, it is necessary to prove total or partial incapacity, in addition to having completed at least 12 months of grace period and being insured.
