Those under 30 would no longer receive disability pensions. Instead, the disability insurance would pay those affected a different – lower – compensation. This would be subject to conditions, such as the requirement that those affected participate in low-threshold integration measures and undergo treatment. "From the disability insurance perspective, this would be a major difference to the pension: We would keep the file open and continue to support this person through active case management," says Thomas Pfiffner.

Not sure what I think about that, even getting to a IV Rente is difficult enough and you might be on social security for a while till a decision is made.
Maybe make it easier to get out of the IV pension when you get one?
It’s decent topic to bring to the forefront but doing this wouldn’t save any money. Getting a AHV pension is difficult and usually requires multiple integration attempts. And if you don’t get it but can’t work you will still need to get financial support from the state, while having to make due with worse support programs.
A lot of assisted work places require at least a 50% AHV pension. These are great ways to potentially re-integrate into work culture without the short term pressure of other integration programs. Or at the very least not just rot away at home.
Of course you don’t want to give people a AHV pension and have that make them lazy and not attemp to get back into a normal profession. However it seems like the AHV and it’s evaluators are already decent enough at this. Rarely giving out 100% pensions and instead only going up to 99% where they can still mandate therapy and work programs.
