Date:	04.06.2020
Force of law:	-

Summary:	A woman from abroad who works and lives in Switzerland is entitled to a disability pension if she is unable to work due to a mental illness. The woman has a place of residence and a residence permit in Switzerland. She worked in Switzerland and paid contributions to disability insurance. She is unable to work due to a mental illness. The disability insurance must therefore pay the woman a pension. More detailed summary: The woman was born and raised in Switzerland. She completed an apprenticeship as a hairdresser in Switzerland and has been living in Switzerland since 1998. She got married in 2000 and has been living in Switzerland with her husband ever since. In 2016, the woman became unable to work due to a mental illness. She has therefore applied for a disability pension. The disability insurance rejected the application because the woman was not born and raised in Switzerland. The woman filed a complaint with the insurance court against the decision of the disability insurance. The insurance court approved the complaint and awarded the woman a disability pension. The insurance court has ruled that the woman is entitled to a disability pension, since she has a residence permit and a residence permit in Switzerland. She worked in Switzerland and paid contributions to disability insurance. Due to her mental illness, she is unable to work. The decision of the Insurance Court is an important step for the equal treatment of foreign employees in Switzerland.
