This task is the main one in the activities of any bureau of medical and social expertise. Before going here, a person goes a long way. First of all, he must have a disabling disease. Moreover, the fact of its presence should be established not by ordinary attending doctors in the clinic, but by high-level specialists working in specialized medical centers. After all the advisory opinions from the necessary doctors are received, a person will have to collect a whole package of documents. Moreover, it is especially extensive when it comes to an able-bodied person (for men - up to 60 years, for women - up to 55 years). In addition, a rehabilitation program should be drawn up for a person. Ideally, he needs to go through it in full.
After that, the specialist in medical and social rehabilitation from the clinic together with the attending doctor draws up a mailing list and sends a whole set of documents to a specialized bureau. In some cases, it is necessary to refer the patient to the main bureau of medical and social examination. There, experts carefully study all the documents submitted and on their basis establish a particular disability group, unless, of course, the severity of the disease allows it. Moreover, disability can be established for the rest of your life, and up to a certain date. As you approach it, a person will again have to collect the entire package of documents and go to the clinic to arrange a delivery sheet.
