Let's talk about an unpleasant, but taking place phenomenon - disability. What is it, under what diseases give disability, how to arrange it? In general, this condition means disability. With minor reservations, we accept this definition. Also, the state of disability is characterized by the presence of a chronic disease or pathology.
In order to formalize all the relevant papers and become officially disabled, it is necessary to go through a medical labor expert commission (abbreviated as VTEK). In order to pass it, you need to take a referral from your attending physician at the clinic in the community. With this direction and an identification document and a statement, you must contact the medical institution to which you belong at the place of residence. Each such institution usually has a list of diseases for which disability is given.
According to the regulations, the examination is carried out no later than a month after the submission of documents. In fact, the rules are rarely respected, most often people have to wait longer.
The examination itself - a commission of three people will decide whether you are disabled.
She will determine your disability group and issue an appropriate certificate at the end of the examination.

Disability categories.
People who receive the first group cannot take care of themselves, they constantly need the help of other people.

Disability criteria of the third group are as follows - a person does not need outside help, but cannot work in his main specialty.

Based on all these factors, a decision is made and the person receives the appropriate certificate. It will indicate the group, validity period, at the end of which you will need to go through the commission again. Sometimes you have to wait for this document for several months, so you should be patient. Disabled persons of the first group go through a commission once every two years, and all the rest - once a year. However, there are some categories of people who do not need to undergo examinations.
