disability retirement

Incapacity pension departure

Disability retirement is retirement from employment due to a medical condition that prevents someone from performing their job duties.

Unlike standard retirement based on age or years of service, disability retirement typically requires medical documentation and approval: She took disability retirement after the accident left her unable to work.

Benefits usually begin immediately rather than at normal retirement age.
