Public Service Disability Pension
Verified 22 March 2023 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Are you a public servant and would you like to know whether, when you are declared permanently unfit to perform your duties, you can be automatically or at your request to retire early for disability? We present you with the information you need to know. There are 2 possible situations: disability is either unrelated to your work (we speak then of invalidity not attributable to service), or of professional origin (it is said that it is attributable to the service).
What applies to you ?
Not attributable to service
To be admitted to early retirement for disability unrelated to your work (we're talking of invalidity not attributable to service), you must meet the following 4 conditions:
- To be a permanent official
- Become permanently unfit to perform your duties as a result of non-service related injuries or illnesses, acquired or aggravated during a vesting period
- Could not have been reclassified to a job that matched your physical abilities
- Not reaching the age limit
Please note
the contract staff member shall be entitled to invalidity pension until he reaches retirement age.

The medical advice give an opinion on the following:

- Consequences and rates of invalidity resulting from such disabilities
- Permanent incapacity to perform duties
- Possibly requires assistance from a third party
The notice shall be given to the official at his request.
In the light of this opinion, the competent pension fund shall determine the invalidity rate taking into account an indicative regulatory scale.
In the light of the opinion of the medical council and the assent of the pension fund, the appointing authority shall decide to retire on grounds of invalidity.
Retirement pension
The disability pension is calculated under the same conditions that the retirement pension of the competent official on the basis of the treatment since at least 6 months upon retirement.
If the disability is at least 60%, the pension shall be at least equal to half the salary used for the calculation of his pension.
Special surcharge for assistance of a third party
If you need someone to help you constantly perform the ordinary acts of life (for example: dressing and undressing, eating, drinking, getting up in case of a fall), a special surcharge for the assistance of a third person can be paid.
This special increase is paid in addition to the civil invalidity pension (CIP) and is intended only for invalidity pensioners or holders of an invalidity pension granted after the removal of the managers (long-latent diseases discovered after the removal of the managers).
Its amount is fixed and equal to the salary of the index plus 227 at 1er January 2004, adjusted to reflect changes in the consumer price index excluding tobacco, i.e. €1,263.79 since 1er July 2022.
This increase cannot be combined with benefits for the same purpose provided by other pension schemes.
Thus:
- If you do not receive any benefits of the same nature, the amount of the increase is equal to €1,263.79 per month.
- If you receive a benefit of the same nature less than €1,263.79, you can receive an amount equal to the difference between the increase and the other benefit.
If you receive a benefit of the same nature greater than or equal to €1,263.79, the special third-party assistance surcharge will be suspended in full.
You must apply to the human resources department of your administration with the necessary supporting documents (medical certificates, examination results, etc.).
Payment of this increase shall be granted for a period of 5 years. At the end of that period, your situation is reviewed.
If the conditions are still met, the surcharge is granted to you permanently. If you no longer meet the conditions, the markup is removed from you.
If your report requires third-party assistance again, the surcharge can be repaid from the date of your request.
The invalidity pension and its increase are paid every month with due date.
Chargeable to service
To be eligible for early retirement for disability (attributable to service), you must meet the following 4 conditions:
- To be a permanent official
- Becoming permanently unfit for duty as a result of injuries or illnesses contracted or aggravated while on duty (or while performing an act of dedication in the public interest, or risking your life to save the life of one or more persons)
- Could not have been reclassified to a job that matched your physical abilities
- And not have reached the age limit
