Erwerbsminderungsrente

Erwerbsminderungsrente is a German disability pension provided when someone is unable to work fully due to health issues. It offers financial support if a person's ability to earn is significantly reduced, either because they can't work at all (full disability) or only to a limited extent (partial disability). The amount depends on the extent of the disability and previous contributions to the social insurance system. The goal is to ensure a basic income for individuals who, due to illness or disability, cannot perform their usual job or any comparable work.
