Long-service employees in Denmark who have reduced work capacity could be eligible for a new type of early retirement disability pension scheme (Danish) — the Senior Pension. The scheme, which took effect on 1 Jan 2020, allows certain individuals to retire up to six years before the normal retirement age (currently, age 65 ½ years but gradually increasing to age 68 by 2030) due to poor health. The Senior Pension replaces the Senior Disability Pension scheme that had stricter eligibility requirements and allowed retirement up to five years before the normal retirement age.
