What is the cap when a disability pension is combined with other income?
A decree has just been issued to raise the cap on the combined amount of a disability pension from the general social security system and other income.
This combination is permitted when the individual resumes or continues a professional activity. However, after a 12-month grace period, the pension amount is reduced if the sum of the two incomes exceeds the higher of the average annual salary (or average annual income) used to calculate the disability pension and the salary for the calendar year preceding the work stoppage due to disability, which is now capped at 1.5 times the annual Social Security ceiling (i.e., €65,988 in 2023), as opposed to one times that ceiling as was previously the case.
