Applying for vocational rehabilitation

1. Fill in a vocational rehabilitation application in MyPension

Fill in the rehabilitation application in MyPension when you have a Medical Statement B. The Medical Statement B must be no more than six months old. You can also attach an occupational health negotiation memo to the application if you have had an occupational health negotiation with the employer and occupational health care.

Please note that Ilmarinen does not have access to MyKanta.

Prepare to also describe the following in the application

• your work ability, health and any previous medical or vocational rehabilitation
• your education (field and year of graduation) and work experience.

You can submit your rehabilitation plan, i.e. a plan for your return to work, in connection with your rehabilitation application. You can also submit the plan later while the preliminary decision is valid. Read more about the rehabilitation plan

2. We process your application and assess it on an individual basis

We will process your application within approximately one month of its submission.

We process each rehabilitation application on an individual basis. Our rehabilitation specialists and expert physicians will assess your application and determine whether it meets the requirements for vocational rehabilitation.

If you submitted a rehabilitation plan in connection with the application, we will assess whether it is suitable and appropriate for your state of health. We will also assess your opportunities to find employment doing the tasks specified in your plan after vocational rehabilitation.

3. You receive a decision

Once we have processed your application, we will send you a positive or a negative decision. After the decision has been issued, you will receive information about it by text message. This is why it is important to ensure that your contact information is up to date in MyPension.

You can view your decision in MyPension. If you received a positive decision, please contact your rehabilitation specialist to prepare a rehabilitation plan. You can find the contact details for the specialist in your decision.
