Did you receive a vocational rehabilitation decision without applying for it?

If you applied for a disability pension from us, in addition to the disability pension decision, you may have also received a preliminary decision on vocational rehabilitation. Rehabilitation helps you return to a type of work that suits your health. We will provide you financial support during your rehabilitation.

Returning to working life through vocational rehabilitation

The aim of vocational rehabilitation is to enable you to continue working or return to work after your sick leave. If you received a decision on vocational rehabilitation from us, look into the different options available. The options are

If you are returning to work from a long sick leave, a work try-out can help. A work try-out is the most popular form of vocational rehabilitation. It entails trying to work in a lighter and suitably modified manner. Work try-outs usually last 3-6 months. If you are interested in a work try-out, bring it up with your employer and occupational health care. During the work try-out, you can receive a salary from your employer or a rehabilitation benefit from us.

We can help you plan your rehabilitation

If you do not have an ongoing employment relationship or you are no longer able to do your previous work due to your state of health, and your employer does not have any other work that suits your health, we can help you plan a new career path.

If necessary, you can get help from a career coach whom you will meet regularly. They will help you plan your new career and prepare a rehabilitation plan. You will need it when your vocational rehabilitation starts. The career coach will help you apply for a possible work try-out and plan your studies. The service is free of charge for you.

Once you have received a positive decision on vocational rehabilitation from us, we will provide you with a rehabilitation specialist.

You can also find the decision in our online service under 'My Documents'.
