Disability… Numerous sources of information talk about what it is, pour in medical terms, give the same type of instructions on how to issue it. But when it comes to getting a specific group by a specific person, is it as smooth as it looks on paper?
Let's sort it out in order. Before you get a disability of 3 groups, get ready for long wanderings around offices, frayed nerves and possible rejection.
For a start: you will not find such a convenient thing anywhere as "Disability 3 groups: a list of diseases." Such a list does not exist at all. There is a list of diseases and conditions in the presence of which a life-long group can be established. But during the initial appeal, each case is considered individually.
Let's say you found information on the Internet that if you have a disease, you can get a disability of 3 degrees. What's next? I'm going to the local doctor. We ask for a referral to the ITU (medical and social examination). And here comes the first difficulty.
If all the limbs are in place, the internal organs too, the doctor may begin to convince that it makes no sense to try. Like, we have suchDisability diagnoses are not given, there is nothing to waste the time of busy people. insist. Refused? Ask for a certificate of refusal, then you can apply to the commission yourself.
Next, the commission itself. In most cases, even to apply, you will have to stand in a huge queue. The commission itself consists of three people, medical specialists. It is quite possible that these will be doctors of a completely different direction than your disease. That is, if you need to get a disability of the 3rd degree due to psoriatic arthritis, an ophthalmologist, a neurologist and a psychiatrist may well be on the commission.
Documents confirming your condition may also have an expiration date, do not forget this. For example, blood tests are valid for 10 days. ECG results - month. In addition, you may be required to testify from your place of work or interview relatives and neighbors. If at least one source shows that you are fully capable and do not need help, do not count on the group.
If the results of the ITU are not satisfactory, contact higher authorities (ITU Main Bureau, ITU Federal Bureau) or directly to the prosecutor's office. Here the statistics diverge: someone gets help, someone does not.
By the way, disability of the 3rd group is given for a year. After its expiration, the procedure will have to be repeated. And a year later too. And so on… Practice shows that at the slightest success of the patient in life, disability is immediately removed. This is motivated by the fact that the person has undergone rehabilitation and no longer needs state support.
According to the chief expert of ITU St. Petersburg, Mr. Alexander Abrosimov, in the near future, the procedure for establishing disability may become even more complicated. There will be a new assessment of the state of both physical and social. This means that getting a disability of group 3 will become even more problematic.
In a word, stock up on time, patience and courage to defend the rights laid down by law. Do not be afraid and do not hesitate to fight for yourself and improve your life. No one will do it for you.
