Calculation of the Basic Disability Pension

(※1) Eligibility requirements

All 3 requirements below must be met. (See the related links for details.)

• (1) First medical examination date: The first examination must fall within a National Pension coverage period. This also includes first examinations while residing in Japan for people under 20, or people aged 60 or older but under 65 who have previously been covered by the National Pension.


• (2) Disability status: Disability grade 1 or 2.


• (3) Premium payment requirement: Premiums must have been paid or exempted for at least 2/3 of the public pension coverage period through the second month preceding the month of the first examination. Alternatively, the person must be under 65 on the day before the first examination and have no unpaid premiums during the 1-year period ending with that second preceding month. However, no premium payment requirement applies if the first examination occurs before age 20 during a period without pension coverage.

If the first examination occurs before age 20, an income limit applies to benefits.

(※2) Requirements for children

• Children who have not passed the last day (March 31) of the fiscal year in which they turn 18


• People under 20 with disability grade 1 or 2

Formulas

• [Grade 1] = Basic amount × 1.25 + Child supplements


• [Grade 2] = Basic amount + Child supplements

Basic amount: New beneficiaries (aged 67 or younger): 847,300 yen; existing beneficiaries (aged 68 or older): 844,900 yen

(243,800 yen each for the first and second children; 81,300 yen each for the third and subsequent children)
