I have worked as a carpenter in northern Europe for 10 years, few months before leaving to go to my girlfriend's country I broke my thomb in a work accident. I have about 70% of the mobility but I'm in constant pain at work and after, not to mention that I had tendinitis twice on my right arm since when I broke it an a variety of other problems. Carpentry is both my hobby and my job, I have invested time and money in education and tools. I am not going to keep with this line of work because I don't want to lose my fingers for a loss of grip on a table show or messing up the tendons at 30 years of age.
Now my question is: do I have right to a invalidity pension or am I wasting time contacting doctors?
