Asker: Thank you for your suggestion. I'm new to this forum - I don't know how to enter an answer on this page - how does that work? The phrase I came up with was "Periods of sustained entitlement" - what do you think? thanks!
Asker: Thanks for your help! I see the discussion box but I don't know how to access it, there is nothing on this page which says "add to discussion" or similar!

• Beitragszeiten
• Anrechnungszeiten
• Berücksichtigungszeiten wegen Kindererziehung oder der nicht erwerbsmäßigen Pflege eines Pflegebedürftigen
• frühere Rentenbezugszeiten wegen Berufs- oder Erwerbsunfähigkeit
• Zeiten des gewöhnlichen Aufenthalts in den neuen Ländern vor 1992.

Note to reference poster

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
