GdB 30: Your Rights to Workplace Protections and Early Retirement
Employees with a degree of disability (GdB) of 30 are entitled to special considerations and protections in the workplace and for their pensions. Employers must take their health situation into account, and individuals should plan for financial security and understand their rights.
A GdB of 30 qualifies individuals for equalization with severely disabled people, offering better dismissal protection and additional vacation days. To improve their chances of early retirement, employees should seek recognition for disability equalization and document their medical findings and illness course carefully. This can support applications for rehabilitation measures or an incapacity for work pension, which considers work capacity rather than GdB.
Insurance periods, including illness, rehabilitation, or unemployment, often count as crediting periods for the pension. Consulting the German Pension Insurance and the Integration Office can help individuals understand and utilise their rights with a GdB of 30. Reapplying for reclassification or complaining about a low classification can lead to a higher GdB and access to special regulations for early retirement.
While a GdB of 30 does not guarantee automatic early retirement, it offers advantages and protections in the workplace and for pensions. Employees should document their medical history, plan for financial security, and consult relevant offices to understand and utilise their rights. Reapplying for reclassification can also improve chances for early retirement.
