Can I receive Danish public benefits while on the Pay Limit Scheme?

The scheme is built on the idea that you are self-supporting through your qualifying employment. Drawing means-tested social assistance can be treated as a breach of your permit conditions and may lead to revocation.

This does not stop you from doing unpaid volunteer work, and it does not affect benefits you are genuinely entitled to as a worker. The key restriction is on social-assistance-type public support, so if your circumstances change it is wise to check before claiming anything.
