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.

You can apply to have your pension reinstated online or by post.
