Help, pension?
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I'm writing to you because I'm looking for advice.
I'm retiring this year and I'm already 66 years old. I worked for several years both in Poland and here in Germany. I've applied to the DRV for a German and a Polish pension. And now I'm not sure how that will work. I've been told to also apply for a Polish pension through the German pension insurance. What will that look like? Will I get one pension or two separate pensions? Thank you in advance for your reply.
You did absolutely the right thing. Since there's a social security agreement, you can apply for a pension from Germany and Poland simultaneously. The DRV will then contact the Polish pension insurance provider.
You will then receive both pensions together.
