How to register a disability for a child or adult, you will learn from this article. Of course, these are just general recommendations, but they will help to orient ourselves in our bureaucratic system.
According to the decision of the medical commission, disability is a loss of ability to work, as a result of which a citizen cannot perform certain functions. Moreover, they are not necessarily related to work, they can also relate to everyday household activities.
How to register a disability: grounds for its receipt
The procedure for appropriation is regulated by the law “On the Procedure and Conditions for Recognizing a Person with a Disability”. In order to recognize that a person’s capabilities are limited, the following conditions must exist:
- Limitation of life (partial or complete loss of the ability to move independently, communicate, navigate, engage in labor activity, study, control your daily behavior).
- Health problems with persistent dysfunction of the body (consequences of injuries, diseases).
- The need to resort to social protection measures.
But even having one of the above reasons may not be enough to get a disability. The decision is made by the medical commission, to which citizens are sent by the body that carries out the treatment and prophylactic treatment (any hospital or clinic). If the citizen is denied this, he can independently apply with a certificate issued to him at the place of treatment to the bureau of medical and social examination.
How to apply for disability: the procedure for obtaining
As a rule, an examination is carried out at a bureau at the place of residence or residence of a citizen. However, if it is impossible to carry it out to the bureau for health reasons, it is carried out at home or in a hospital.
In order for the examination to be carried out, the citizen must provide a referral from the hospital and a statement. The decision is made by a majority vote of the experts who conducted the examination, and communicated to the person concerned in the presence of all participants. If necessary, they must provide clarification. Based on the results of the hearing, an act must be drawn up signed by the bureau of medical and social expertise, as well as those specialists who made the decision. The certificate is certified by a seal.
The basic information that served as the basis for recognizing a person as disabled, the conclusions of consultants on this issue and the list of documents are either entered into the act or attached to it.
If it was recognized that the person’s capabilities are limited, they are required to issue a certificate confirming the fact of disability. The certificate shall indicate the group and, if necessary, the degree of restriction of the ability to work. An individual program is also attached to the certificate, on the basis of which the rehabilitation of a person recognized as disabled will be carried out.
After receiving a certificate, a citizen can count on regular pension payments from the state, the amount of which is established by applicable law. If a person has lost his ability to work due to a violation of safety precautions and legislation by his superiors, he may claim material compensation (compensation). In some cases, this issue can be resolved without the intervention of representatives of the law, that is, by agreement. Practice shows that such a solution is optimal.
