When should I apply for an unlimited EM pension?

The “unlimited EM pension” (statutory pension insurance) does not usually pay a reduced earning capacity pension until the regular old-age pension begins, but limits it to three years. After that, you can apply for an extension twice.
The processing time for the subsequent application is often between three and four months, so the subsequent application must be submitted early.
If the state of health has not improved after nine years of reduced earning capacity pension, a permanent pension comes into effect.
