Disability - Payment of the pension

The disability pension is paid on the 28^th of the month into the bank account of the person entitled to the pension. If the National Insurance Institute believes that, due to his disability, the person entitled to the pension is incapable of using the pension for his own benefit or for the benefit of his “dependents,” the pension is paid (in whole or in part), to whomever the NII appoints as the recipient of the pension (the pension is paid into the bank account of that person).

If a claim is submitted by the guardian of the person entitled to the pension, the pension is paid into a bank account opened by the guardian in the name of the person entitled to the pension. At the request of the spouse, the increment for that spouse is paid directly to him or her.
