Hello everyone,
I have a different pension situation and was wondering if anyone has come across a similar case and can bring in some light into the matter...
My husband (Italian citizen) worked in Germany for 4,5 years, then he worked in Switzerland for 5 years.
We were able to get a refund for the Swiss pension. However, the German pension system tells us that he is not entitled to a refund because in total he worked for more than 5 years in Europe, and therefore he can only get a pension when he is 65 years old.
As we withdrew the money from Switzerland, our understanding is that we waved our rights regarding pension for the period in Switzerland, and would, therefore, be entitled to the refund from the German pension system.
Any ideas? Did anyone come across a similar situation?
Any help is welcome :)
