Help with housing costs if you have a pension, or sickness or activity compensation.

Quick check: does this apply to you?

Answer yes or no on each line. Nothing is saved.

  • You take out your full retirement pension, or have sickness or activity compensation
  • Your income is low
  • You live in Sweden

What affects the decision

  • What your home costs
  • Savings and other assets

What to do

  1. Read the rules and current amounts at Pensionsmyndigheten (Swedish Pensions Agency).
