With the introduction of the Sickness Benefit (SB) being planned, this study aims to deal with the establishment of the relationship between the SB and the Disability Pension (DP) in the National Pension Scheme (NPS). The two systems require consistency in that they are guaranteed from income loss due to the same or similar social risks, but that is not the case in practice. The main problems are as follows. First, in terms of continuity of security, the payment duration for the SB and the base date for determining disability in the DP should be the same and, if the payment duration for the SB is introduced as discussed now, long-term patients may be suspended from the public income security system after the payment duration of the SB has arrived. Second, in terms of benefit level, the DP in the NPS is too low, and in the case of long-term patients, if it is changed from the SB to the DP in the NPS, there is a concern about an excessive drop in benefit. In the design of the SB, it is necessary to improve the SB or the NPS in consideration of these issues.
