Do you have cover for reduced earning capacity?
You can see whether you have cover for reduced earning capacity in your pension fund statement by logging in. You can also see how much your earning capacity must be reduced in order for you to be entitled to benefits and/or waiver of contribution.
How much can you receive in benefits?
The size of your benefits depends on the type of insurance you have. Normally, the benefits will correspond to your specific loss of income. That is, the difference between your salary before you became ill and your total income after you became ill. However, the amount of benefits will never exceed the cover specified in your pension scheme.
When will your insurance benefits be payable?
You will be entitled to benefits and/or waiver of contribution if your illness extends beyond your waiting period.
The waiting period is typically the current month plus three months, and that means that you will not be entitled to waiver of contribution or insurance benefits for the first three months of your illness. When you are logged in, you can see the waiting period in your pension fund statement.
Notify us as soon as possible

We recommend that you notify us of your illness or injury as soon as possible – then you have a better chance of avoiding long-term sickness absence. We can help you maintain the connection to your workplace while you are ill and support you in the process.
This is the process
- Fill in a form about your illness or injury and sign it with electronic signature, e.g. NemID or MitID. The form is then sent to us electronically.
- With the form, please also enclose the decision stating that you receive public benefits (it should be sent to you approx. 4-6 weeks after your first day of sickness leave with the headline "Afgørelse om berettigelse af sygedagpenge") or the latest payment specification from your local authority for the benefit received by you or your employer.
- If you or your employer do not receive public benefits, your general practitioner must fill in and sign a medical certificate.
- Your employer will be notified of the benefits if you have a company pension scheme.
- We will contact the public authorities if necessary – e.g. if we have questions about social security benefits.
We will keep you informed throughout the process so you will know what is happening.
