I am a 57-year-old woman, I have 36 years of work and have had a significant bilateral hearing loss for 10 years. My question is can I apply for early retirement? Thank you very much in advance for answering me.

It is worth contacting the ZUS branch competent for your place of residence directly. Because with so little data it is difficult to properly assess the situation. It is worth emphasizing thatthe possibility of obtaining early retirement pensionis available to people born after December 31, 1948, provided that certain additional conditions are met. These persons may acquire the right to an occupational pension, pensions due to employment in special conditions or in a special character, pensions for performing creative or artistic activities, railway pensions, mining pensions, teachers' pensions, pensions for employees caring for children requiring permanent care, pensions based on Article. 184 of the Pension Act. You, as a person born after December 31, 1948, and before January 1, 1969. may acquire the right to an old-age pension due to employment in special conditions or in a special character, if all the conditions required to obtain this benefit have been met by 31 December 2008. If you joined an open-ended pension fund, when applying for a pension, you would also have to apply for the transfer of funds accumulated on the account in the open pension fund, via the Social Insurance Institution, to the income of the state budget.Legal basis:Act on bridging pensions (Journal of Laws of 2008 No. 237 item 1656 as amended)
