Case: Help draw up the conclusion of the LKK to confirm the need for care
Lyubov turned to the lawyers of the company “Prikhodko and Partners” with a request to provide support during the preparation of the conclusion of the Medical Advisory Commission, which is a document confirming the need for care.
Description of the client’s circumstances
The client is an elderly person, and due to impaired body functions as a result of a number of diseases, is a person who has significantly pronounced limitations in life activities, which involves the inability to self-care and the need for constant assistance during the day in most activities due to serious limitations in the ability to self-care, the inability to move effectively in her environment, the presence of serious vision and hearing impairments, which significantly affect the ability to function independently, which requires the constant use of assistive devices in the form of medical devices for adaptation and, accordingly, requires external assistance to perform basic life tasks.
Therefore, due to the above circumstances, Lyubov needs to be under the supervision of her son, who provides constant care for her, for a long time during the day.
When the client, accompanied by her son, who helped her with transportation to a medical institution, sought advice from a family doctor at a medical institution to obtain a referral to a medical advisory commission, as required by the procedure, the latter was refused.
The doctors’ reasoning for the refusal: obtaining a medical advisory commission opinion is possible only in the case of a disability group, and the complaints she indicated did not, in their opinion, have grounds for granting a medical advisory commission.

The lawyer from the medical law practice analyzed the client’s situation in detail, assessed the medical examinations/consultative opinions of doctors, the circumstances, the criteria for limiting vital activities, and other factors that affect the success of obtaining a document confirming the need for care.
The client received a consultation on whether she had grounds to receive a disability pension, the stages of obtaining a disability pension were discussed, her rights were explained, the nuances and reasons for their occurrence were discussed.
After that, a lawyer from the company “Prikhodko & Partners” provided support during the procedure for obtaining a conclusion under Form 080/2-o, which included the following: they helped to undergo a full medical examination with indications of the person’s limitations in the consultation opinions of medical specialists, they turned to a general practitioner for consultation on the stated complaints about the state of health, providing confirmation of the positions of narrow-profile specialists, they received a referral for examination by a medical advisory commission, ensuring the completeness and reliability of the information provided, they passed the commission’s examination, and received a positive decision in the form of a disability pension conclusion – under Form 080/2-o with an indication of the need to receive social care services on a non-professional basis.
