Rehabilitation plan

When you have received a positive preliminary decision on vocational rehabilitation, the next step is to make a rehabilitation plan. We are happy to help you with planning.

What is a rehabilitation plan? 

The rehabilitation plan contains information on the vocational rehabilitation measures that will help you return to a job suitable for your state of health.

The rehabilitation plan is based on your competence and work experience 

Draw up the rehabilitation plan in a way that allows you to utilise your previous experience, training and skills as much as possible. The objective is for you to be able to continue in a job that suits your state of health for as long as possible after vocational rehabilitation.

How do I make a rehabilitation plan? 

You can prepare a plan together with your employer and occupational health care, for example, in connection with an occupational health negotiation. Send us a copy of the memo from the occupational health negotiation. If you are not currently in an employment relationship, you can discuss your return to work with another health care professional. You may have already come up with a plan on the best way for you to return to work, for example, after sick leave.

How do I submit the rehabilitation plan? 

You can submit the information about your plan and any attachments (e.g. an occupational health negotiation memo) to us in MyPension in the ‘Make a rehabilitation plan or rehabilitation invoice’ section. Enter the information in the rehabilitation plan form and send it to us for evaluation during the validity of the preliminary decision.

You can contact your own rehabilitation specialist concerning questions about the rehabilitation plan. You can find the contact details for your rehabilitation specialist in the preliminary vocational rehabilitation decision you received. The decision is available in MyPension under ‘My documents’.

The rehabilitation plan supports your return to work

Once we have received your rehabilitation plan, we will assess how it suits your state of health. We will consider what vocational rehabilitation measures would best promote your ability to continue in a job that suits your health and how good your chances are to find employment after vocational rehabilitation.

What should I include in the rehabilitation plan?

The rehabilitation plan should be submitted to Ilmarinen for assessment as early as possible before the planned start. Also contact us about your preliminary plans so that we can assess the plan with you.
