Slightly fewer rejected disability pension applications
According to statistics of the Finnish Centre for Pensions, the number of new disability pension decisions grew considerably in 2018. At the same time, the share of rejected disability pension applications dropped for the first time in a decade.
Brexit may affect social security
The British MPs rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal in a vote on 15 January 2019. This does not mean, however, that Britain will exit from the bloc immediately, with no deal. Together with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and other authorities, the Finnish Centre for Pensions monitors the situation.
Self-employed and unemployed show most interest in new pension benefit
Urban-dwelling males aged 61 are the most likely to take a partial old-age pension. A recent study by the Finnish Centre for Pensions indicates that the self-employed and unemployed are more likely to take payment of the pension than wage earners.
