Work ability allowance
We pay the work ability allowance to a person with partial or no work ability. This requires assessment of work ability, which you can also apply for at the Unemployment Insurance Fund. The amount of the allowance depends on whether you have been assessed to have partial or no work ability.
You can fill in and submit an application for work ability allowance
