Pensions for permanent disability

People affiliated to the Social Security System, on active contributor status or otherwise in one of its schemes, who  are the victims of a terrorist attack which they are not responsible for.

• Extraordinary pensions are incompatible with any ordinary pension which may correspond to the beneficiary for the same originating event. Other extraordinary pensions are also incompatible, from the same event, that may be recognised by any basic state welfare scheme.
• If the beneficiary were to already have the status of pensioner, this extraordinary pension will be incompatible with the ordinary pension which was used as the calculation in order to determine the regulating base of the extraordinary pension.

Nevertheless, extraordinary pensions will be compatible with ordinary pensions of the same nature that are granted under another scheme other than the Social Security System from the multiactivity of the interested party.

• In all incompatible cases, the person with the right to two or more pensions may choose between receiving the right of the extraordinary pensions for acts of terrorism or the corresponding right under the Social Security System.

• They are revalued under the same terms and conditions as non-current contributory pensions and are subject to the limits of initial recognition and revaluation specified under Law.
• When they coincide with ordinary system pensions, they cannot be calculated for the purpose of applying the limiting revaluation and maximum pension limit regulations.

• Management:

Management and recognition of the right is the responsibility of the National Social Security Office (INSS), except in the case of recipients included under the scope of the Special Sea Workers Scheme, in which case, the competent managing entity is the Social Marine Institute (ISM).

• Payment:

14 payments are made, one for each month of the year and two extra payments, in June and November.

• Together with the general documentation required, the documentation proving the existence of the terrorist act will be provided.

• Application form for permanent disability.
