Case: Successful support in obtaining the 3rd disability group for a client from the Odesa region
Registration of disability status under updated legislation and the functioning of modern expert commissions often contradicts patients’ expectations. The change in approaches to assessing daily functioning requires a flawlessly prepared medical basis, clear recording of limitations, and legal support at every stage.
A resident of the Odesa region, who, due to persistent health impairments and significant life limitations, was entitled to obtain a disability group, contacted the Prikhodko & Partners law firm. However, independent attempts to collect paperwork and navigate bureaucratic procedures encountered a lack of understanding of the action algorithms, risks of getting a refusal, and the lack of proper recording of diagnoses, chronic disorders, and life activity criteria in the primary medical documentation.
Tasks faced by the lawyers
- Conduct a comprehensive and professional analysis of the client’s medical documents.
- Provide a reasoned assessment of the case prospects and determine the likely disability group.
- Formulate a clear, step-by-step action algorithm to avoid common mistakes.
- Provide full legal support during the expert commission process in the Odesa region.
Stages of providing legal assistance
1. Professional analysis of medical documents
Our specialists, including medical experts, conducted a detailed analysis of the existing extract from the medical history, examination results, and conclusions of specialized doctors. Since standard approaches to assessing the state of health require strict compliance with the criteria of normative acts, such an audit allows identifying gaps in advance.
2. Assessment of prospects and recommendations for further examinations
Given the actual state of the client’s health, the medical attorney provided an expert opinion on the likelihood of a positive decision. Additionally, a list of specific additional examinations and medical reports was generated, which would record persistent functional impairments and significantly strengthen the patient’s position before the commission.
3. Formation of the correct package of documents
Thanks to the legal support of the lawyers, a complete and thorough package of medical documentation was collected, fully complying with modern requirements for the processing of Expert Assessment of Daily Functioning cases. The client received a clear action plan, eliminating any confusion.
4. Attorney support at the commission
The most important stage was the direct support of the client during the consideration of his case by the expert team. The presence of an experienced medical attorney guaranteed strict adherence to the patient’s rights. During the commission meeting, medical documents were examined in detail, an official examination of the patient was conducted, and the parameters of gait and mobility limitations were recorded and measured.
Results of the case
Thanks to a comprehensive strategy, careful preparation of documents, and the direct presence of the attorney at the commission meeting, the client from the Odesa region successfully obtained the 3rd disability group.
This allowed him to legally register the appropriate social benefits and state payments, and ensure the necessary conditions for rehabilitation without unnecessary stress and loss of time.
