Disability pension for a soldier in compulsory service, a volunteer soldier or a person performing national service


  • If a soldier in compulsory service, a volunteer soldier or a person performing national service submits a first claim for a disability pension, their entitlement is examined, as with any other insured. For the purpose of evaluating earning capacity, information is sometimes required on the functioning of the soldier or the volunteer in the framework he is in.
  • For soldiers or volunteers in compulsory service and national service volunteers for whom an indefinite disability pension was approved before they started to serve in the IDF or national service, the pension paid to them will not be reduced as long as they continued to serve in compulsory service or in national service.
  • A person for whom a temporary medical disability and a degree of incapacity was established for a limited time will be summoned for continued medical diagnosis and evaluation of continued entitlement, as customary.
