Overview
- INPS will ensure no direct disability pension falls below €603.40 per month for applicants with at least five years of insurance and a reduction in working capacity under one-third.
- The ruling takes effect the day after its publication in the Gazzetta Ufficiale and bars any retroactive payments for past periods.
- Workers hired after January 1, 1996 under a fully contributory system gain the same minimum pension guarantee previously reserved for retributive and mixed-system pensioners.
- The additional costs of the pension integration will be covered by general taxation while Parliament enacts measures to respect the constitutional budget balance.
- The Constitutional Court declared illegitimate the Dini reform provision that had excluded contributory disability pensions from minimum integration.
