Establishing a higher degree of disability

Establishing disability is an important and complex process that requires a detailed understanding of medical, legal and social aspects. However, situations may arise in life when the health condition of a disabled person deteriorates and there is a need to increase the degree of disability. This may be due to the progression of the disease, receiving new injuries or other circumstances. Increasing the degree of disability opens up access to additional benefits and social assistance, which is important for ensuring a decent standard of living.

Grounds for increasing the degree of disability

In order to establish a higher degree of disability, it is necessary to have confirmation of a significant deterioration of the state of health. It may be:

• Deterioration of the general state of health due to the progression of the underlying disease.
• Emergence of new complications or concomitant diseases.
• Receiving new injuries or injuries that affect the ability to self-care and work.
• Deterioration of the mental state, which reduces the quality of life and the ability to social adaptation.

Documents and application procedure

In order to increase the degree of disability, it is necessary to collect the following documents:

• Medical documents: conclusion of the attending physician on deterioration of health, results of additional examinations, which confirm the need to increase the degree of disability.
• Existing MSEK conclusion: a document confirming the current degree of disability.
• Other documents: certificates from the place of work, characteristics from the place of study (for children and youth), social and psychological conclusions.

The procedure for establishing a higher degree of disability includes several stages:

1. Obtaining the opinion of the attending physician about the deterioration of the state of health. The doctor must refer the patient to additional examinations and confirm the need to increase the degree of disability.
2. Collection of necessary medical documents and other certificates.
3. Appeal to the MSEK with a statement on revising the degree of disability. The application can be submitted personally or through a representative, in particular through a lawyer.
4. Passing the MSEK: the commission reviews the submitted documents, conducts additional examinations and makes a decision on increasing the degree of disability or on refusal.
