Applicants must include the following with their application:
- a birth certificate (or equivalent document) establishing that the applicant is at least 18 years of age at the time of the application;
- a recent detailed medical report, issued by the relevant attending physician(s), indicating:
- that the impairment was acquired before the age of 65;
- the presumed causes of the incapacity for work;
- details of their state of health and of the foreseeable evolution of their state of health (if applicable);
- a certificate of nationality or equivalent (for example: a copy of their ID card or passport);
- documents attesting to the capacity of their legal representative (if the applicant needs representation in their legal actions);
- a residence certificate dated within the last 3 months, issued by the commune of residence, stating that the applicant is domiciled there and actually lives there;
- proof of the right to reside in Luxembourg for more than 3 months (if the applicant is a national of an EU Member State, a state that is a signatory to the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement, or the Swiss Confederation);
- proof that they have been residing in Luxembourg for at least 5 years in the last 20 years (if the applicant is a national of a State other than those listed above).
Note: this residency requirement does not apply to the family members of Luxembourg nationals or nationals of other EU or EEA Member States or the Swiss Confederation, regardless of their nationality.
The application must be accompanied by a recent and detailed medical report, drawn up by ADEM's occupational health practitioner, specifying the percentage reduction in work capacity and certifying that the applicant's state of health is such that any effort is contraindicated (in the case of an application submitted by a job seeker).
