At the same time, the fact of its presence should be established not by ordinary attending doctors in a polyclinic, but by high-level specialists working in specialized medical centers. After all the advisory opinions from the necessary doctors have been received, the person will have to collect a whole package of documents. At the same time, it is especially extensive if we are talking about an able-bodied person (for men - up to 60 years old, for women - up to 55 years old). In addition, a rehabilitation program should be drawn up for a person. Ideally, he needs to complete it in full.
After that, a specialist in medical and social rehabilitation frompolyclinics, 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 expertise. There, specialists carefully study all the documents provided and, on their basis, establish one or another disability group, unless, of course, the severity of the disease allows this. At the same time, disability can be established both for the rest of your life, and up to a certain date. As you approach it, the person will again have to collect the entire package of documents and contact the clinic to issue a mailing list.
Sometimes patients are dissatisfied with the decision of specialists. In this case, they have the right to apply to a higher level. Then the federal medical and social expertise will deal with their case.

This process is quite complex and painstaking, so you should not wait for a prompt decision. In the event that the medical and social examination recognizes the presence of an occupational disease, then certain payments may be established for a person, which his former employer will be obliged to provide.
