In order to qualify for a disability pension, the Law also requires that 50 weeks of contributions have been paid in the three years prior to the date on which the disability was established or the date on which the person actually stopped working and paid permanent and definitive contributions. (Judgment of the Court of Appeals). T-627/13, T-551/13, T-428/13, T-138/12, T-855/11, T-699A/07)

Note: The law in force that regulates the issue of disability pension is Law 860 of 2003, which in its article 1 contains the requirement of 50 weeks of contributions in the last 3 years to access this benefit. In this way, it modified the provisions of Law 100 of 1993, which established only 26 weeks of contributions at the time of disability. This is relevant, since if you entered the social security system before the new legislation was issued and during that time you fully complied with the weeks of contribution and the time of permanence established in the previous law, the provisions contained in the previous legal regime could be applied, due to the principle of favourability, to grant the disability pension (Judgment of the Court of Appeals). T-893/13, T-138/12 y T-062A/11).
