You can be admitted to retirement for disability, regardless of your age, if your state of health makes it absolutely impossible for you to continue your duties. We detail the information you need to know about disability retirement.

The conditions of eligibility for disability retirement and the status of the employee on disability retirement differ depending on whether the disability is the result of injury or illness acquired or aggravated in service (i.e.disability attributable to service) or injury or illness unrelated to the service (disability not attributable to service).

You can be eligible for early retirement for disability if you meet the following 5 conditions:

You are regular official of the State or territorial or hospital official affiliated to the CNRACL
You're in thecomplete and definitive inability to continue your duties due to non-service disability
You have no could not be reclassified in another body or framework of jobs
Your injury or illness have been contracted or worsened during a period during which you acquired retirement pension rights, i.e. for a period of time of activity or secondment or for a period of up to 3 years of parental leave and/or availability to raise a child
You haven't reached the age limit.

Early retirement for invalidity may occur:

At your request
Or ex officio if your incapacity results from a permanent and stabilized illness or infirmity that cannot be treated, or at the end of a period of 12 months from your placement in sick leave, long-term illness (CLM) or long-term (CLD).

Your retirement for disability is subject to the notice of medical advice.

Your disability rate is determined according to indicative scale.

You must file your application for a disability pension with your employer's administration.

The request is made using a form issued by the SRE if you are a public servant (FPE) or CNRACL if you are a territorial or hospital official (FPT/FPH).

If you can benefit from additional quarters of pension insurance or an increase in the amount of your pension as parent and if the information is not already in your administrative file, you must provide the supporting documents for these children.

Your employer administration can advise you on this.

Your employer administration forwards your complete file to SRE after ruling on the reality of the disabilities claimed, proof of their imputability to service, the rate of disability they cause and permanent incapacity to perform your duties.

The file includes your application and supporting documents, medical board minutes, medical documents provided to the medical board and any other documents necessary to establish your disability pension entitlement.

Only your employer administration can download on the website of the CNRACL the application for disability retirement.

Your employer administration can advise you on this.

Your employer administration forwards your complete file to the CNRACL after having ruled on the reality of the disabilities invoked, the proof of their imputability to the service, the rate of disability they cause and the permanent incapacity to perform your duties.

The disability pension is calculated under the same conditions that the retirement pension of a fit official based on the last gross index salary you had for at least 6 months prior to your retirement.

However, if you do not have the number of quarters of pension insurance required to qualify for a full rate retirement, none haircut is not applied to your pension amount.

If your disability rate is at least equal to 60%, the amount of your retirement pension may not be less than 50% the last gross index salary used to calculate your pension.

If your permanent disability results from the aggravation of pre-existing disabilities, the disability rate selected is determined in relation to your remaining validity.

Your last gross index treatment is upgraded to 1^er April of each year according to the annual consumer price index, excluding tobacco. If this index is less than one, it is increased to 1%.

If you benefit from an increase in your pension as parent of at least 3 children, the increase is calculated on the basis of 50% the last gross index salary used to calculate your pension.

Retirement pension for invalidity is increased to 1^er April of each year according to the annual consumer price index, excluding tobacco. If this index is less than one, it is increased to 1%.

If you are obliged to have recourse consistently toassistance of a third person to perform the ordinary acts of life, you are entitled to a special mark-up.

The amount of that increase shall be fixed at €1,376.00. This amount is revalued to 1^er April of each year according to the annual consumer price index, excluding tobacco.

When the medical board recognizes that you are responsible for your occupational disease after you retire, you can also benefit from the special increase.

The special surcharge for third-party assistance is granted to your requestregardless of the date of your disability retirement.

You must make the request to your employer administration which will transmit it to the SRE if you are a public official or CNRACL if you are a territorial or hospital official.

The special increase shall be granted for 5 years.

At the end of the 5-year period, your entitlement to the special increase is reviewed.

It is then yours:

Either granted definitively if it is recognized that you are still under an obligation to resort consistently to the assistance of a third person to perform the ordinary acts of life,
Either, in the opposite case, deleted.

Afterwards, she can be at all times recovered following the same procedure from the date of your application if you prove that you are again obliged to resort to the constant assistance of a third person to perform the ordinary acts of life.

This increase cannot be combined with any other benefit for the same purpose paid by another pension fund. Thus:

If you do not receive any benefit of the same nature, the amount of the special increase is equal to €1,376.00 per month.
If you receive a benefit of the same nature less than €1,376.00, you perceive the difference between €1,376.00 and the other benefit.
If you receive a benefit of the same nature greater than or equal to €1,376.00, the special increase shall be suspended in full.

You may be eligible for early retirement for disability if you are in one of the following situations:

You haven't reached the age limit.

If the disabilities resulting from the performance of your duties arise from an event that occurred outside the administrative premises, this event must be recorded by a report drawn up on the premises and at the time it occurred.

In the absence of a report, that finding may be established by a act of notoriety brought before the judge of the court of justice or the mayor, on the declaration of the witnesses to the event or of the persons who knew of the event and its consequences.

The deed of notoriety written by the judge or the mayor reproduces the statements of the witnesses or persons having knowledge of the event.
