Swedish term
ersättning lämnas vid arbetsoförmåga till minst 50%
Swedish to English
Medical
Insurance
From a description of an insurance policy
"
Sjuk- & Yrkeskapital: ersättning lämnas antingen vid arbetsoförmåga till minst 50% i 30 av de senaste 36 månaderna eller vid beslut om minst 50% sjukersättning, i båda fallen före 65 år, eller vid arbetslöshet till minst 50% före 60 år i nuvarande sysselsättning p.g.a. arbetsoförmåga enligt försäkringskassans beslut.
"
I'm tripping up at the phrase "till minst 50%".
Is 50% a measure of the compensation one will get from this insurance when incapacitated for work?
Or is it a measure of the time period when one is incapacitated?
(That seems unlikely, given what immediately follows: "... i 30 av de senaste 36 månaderna".)
Or of the degree to which one is incapacitated?
(One has 50% of one's previous abilities, or similar.)
Thanks
(BTW, it looks like it's never been resolved how "yrkeskapital" should be rendered in English.)

compensation is paid in the event of occupational disability to the extent of at least 50%
Alternative (less idiomatic in my opinion, but possibly not in yours): compensation is paid in the event of at least 50% occupational disability.
Remark: The other instances of minst 50% should also be translated as "at least 50%".
beslut om minst 50% sjukersättning = a decision that at least 50% compensation is payable due to illness.

The term "occupational incapacity", which I do not favor, is also used fairly widely. I do not favor it because it carries the connotation of legal incapacity, and also total disability (the latter being redundant in the present context).

Note from asker:
| Thanks! I actually like your alternative expression ("in the event of 50% occupational disability") better, because it makes it clear that 50% is a measure of the disability itself, not the degree to which one is compensated for it. |
