How to enforce the retirement pension

  • The normal age from which you are entitled to a pension Retirement pension has been increased from 65 to 67 years. But if you were born before 1947, you are still entitled to the age limit of 65, after which the limit increases by one month per year. Those born after 1964 have an age limit of 67 years.
  • As soon as you reach the regular retirement age, you can apply for the old-age pension. You should apply about 3 months before you reach the appropriate age. This means that you are entitled to a pension immediately when you reach the limit.
  • You can obtain the application from the Agricultural Pension Fund or the responsible local authority. There you can also get help with filling out the application.
  • You are only entitled to a pension if you give up the business. In doing so, you have to observe the submission requirements of the LKA. Usually, the company is handed over to a notary, to whom the transfer agreement is presented. In the case of a lease, this must be long-term and run for at least 9 years beyond the point in time at which you reach the regular retirement age.
  • You can apply for an early retirement pension for your spouse if it exceeds the standard retirement age within 10 years.

  • You are only entitled to a pension after a waiting period of 15 years, during which you have either paid contributions or must have acquired other creditable periods. Child-rearing periods are not taken into account; you must submit an application to the German for this pension insurance place.

Other pension entitlements

  • There is also an entitlement to a pension due to reduced earning capacity. In this case, the degree of disability must be proven. In the case of a request for pension you will be assessed by an independent appraiser for disability. This classifies the degree of reduction according to the rules of the general labor market, i.e. also with regard to occupations that have nothing to do with agriculture. Since there is room for interpretation here, these claims are often only satisfied after a lengthy dispute.
  • Another pension entitlement consists of payment of a survivor's pension.

The pension entitlement for most pensions is undisputed and is therefore almost always satisfied after the application has been made.
