Reapplying for a statutory accident insurance pension due to aggravation after a settlement
Service Description
It may be possible to receive a lump sum payment from the statutory accident insurance instead of a regular pension.
If your state of health worsens after a settlement has been granted, you are again entitled to a full pension. This is known as the revival of the settled pension. The settlement amount paid is offset against your pension.
To receive a pension again, you must submit an application to your employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund.
