July 21, 2022 | 30,00 EUR | answered by Albrecht Dietrich
Dear Social Security Lawyer,
I am contacting you with a question regarding my pension entitlements. My name is Christiane Busse and I am 58 years old. In April of this year, I applied for a disability pension as I am no longer able to work due to health problems. Unfortunately, my application was recently rejected.
The rejection of my pension application has left me feeling very uncertain and worried about my financial future. I am single and have no other means of supporting myself. Therefore, I rely on the disability pension.
I have already appealed the rejection, but I am unsure of what other options there are to pursue my pension entitlements.
Can you please help me and advise me on the steps I can now take to review my pension entitlements and potentially still have them approved? Are there any additional documents or assessments that I should provide to clarify my situation?
Thank you in advance for your assistance and I look forward to your help in resolving my pension entitlements.
Yours sincerely,
Christiane Busse
Dear Mrs. Busse,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding your pension entitlements. I am sorry to hear that your application for a disability pension has been rejected and that you are worried about your financial future as a result. It is understandable that this situation is burdensome for you, but let me assure you that there are ways to still enforce your pension entitlements.
First of all, it is good that you have already filed an appeal against the rejection. This is an important first step in pursuing your case further. In this regard, I recommend that you seek support from an experienced lawyer specializing in social law. A lawyer can help you review your pension entitlements and, if necessary, take legal steps to request a re-examination of your case.
It may also be helpful to submit additional documents or expert opinions to clarify your situation and increase your chances of approval for the disability pension. Medical opinions, medical records, or other relevant documents may be important in this process. Your lawyer can assist you in compiling the necessary documents and ordering additional expert opinions if needed.
Furthermore, make sure to meet all deadlines and submit all required documents in a timely manner. Thorough preparation and documentation of your limitations and health issues are crucial to successfully enforce your pension entitlements.
I also recommend that you educate yourself about your rights and entitlements in the field of social law to be well-prepared and effectively represent your interests. Competent advice from a specialized lawyer can help you advance your case successfully.
I hope that this information is helpful to you and supports you in your endeavor. Do not hesitate to contact me for further questions or for personal consultation. I am at your disposal and will assist you in clarifying your pension entitlements.
Sincerely,
Albrecht Dietrich
Lawyer specializing in social law
