Pension Claim Method

The procedure for receiving the old-age Pension starts at age 65. At the request of the individual, it can be claimed early from age 60, but the benefit amount will be reduced, and thereafter, it will not be possible to claim disability Pension or widow's Pension. Additionally, it is also possible to defer the claim after age 66 to increase the benefit amount.
For individual pension benefit estimates, please consult the Pension Office or the Pension Consultation Center in your area.
