How to get the status of a person with a disability as a result of the war, if I live...?

First of all, you need to see your family doctor for diagnosis, a complete medical examination and treatment.

Next, you will be sent a referral to the medical-social-expert commission (MSEK). It must be filled out by the family or chief physician and information about the patient, his illness and the reasons for granting disability must be entered into the form. (form 088/o)

MSEK — medical and social expert commission — is a special institution of the Ministry of Health, which conducts medical and social expertise.

Medical and social expert commissions determine:

1. Group of disability, its cause and time of onset. A person can simultaneously be recognized as a person with a disability of one group and only for one reason. When the disability group increases, in the event of a more serious illness, the cause of disability is determined at the choice of the person with a disability. If one of the causes of disability is disability from childhood, two causes of disability are indicated.

2. Types of work recommended for a person with a disability due to health.

3. Causal relationship between disability and disease or disability that occurred in childhood, a congenital defect.

4. The degree of loss of working capacity for victims of an accident at work or occupational disease.

5. Degree of loss of health, group of disability, cause, connection and time of onset of disability of citizens who suffered as a result of political repressions or the Chernobyl disaster.

6. The right to receive a special motor vehicle or a contraindication to driving it.

The commission must make a decision within five working days from the date of receipt of documents from the medical advisory commission.
