Questions & Answers
No, every pension must be applied for. All pensions have deadlines within which they must be applied for; in the case of a survivor's pension, for example, the application should be submitted within 30 days of the date of death of the insured person ("quarter of death"/no income offset!), but at the latest within twelve calendar months of the month of death.
