Lasting incapacity: organise the transition to AI and LPP

Distinctions that control the next step

Expect no automatic classification

AI prioritises rehabilitation and applies formal and substantive conditions. The competent AI office examines the file; this site sets neither incapacity to earn nor invalidity.

Coordinate without adding

Daily allowance, AI, LPP, LAA and a private contract may use different definitions and periods. Keep a chronology of responses without assuming benefits can be aggregated.

Separate LPP from private life insurance

The pension institution examines its rules and the relationship with AI. For a private income benefit or premium waiver, use the linked life-insurance article and the policy clauses.

Verify the route in four steps

Limits and essential checks

  • This page determines no degree, entitlement, amount or transition date for AI or LPP and is not a benefit application.
  • General information only: no incapacity is assessed automatically and no diagnosis is made.
  • No entitlement, amount, deadline, rate, acceptance or contract change is promised; only the competent body may decide under the applicable rules.
  • ClairAssur is not a reporting channel: do not send documents, health data, diagnoses, claim numbers or free-text case descriptions here.
