In practice, what are the most frequent problems of registration of permanent care?

The following factors can be identified among the most frequent problems in the design of permanent care:

• if a person with limited physical capabilities is not your close relative, then permanent care for him can be arranged only if there is no one else who can provide such care;
• residence of the caregiver and the person who needs constant care in different settlements or at a distance that does not allow such care to be properly provided;
• the medical opinion of a person with limited physical capabilities does not correspond to reality (such a person does not really need care for his health or old age;
• if the person already has another caregiver and does not want to replace him with another person, etc.

What changes have taken place in the legislation regarding permanent care?

On June 28, 2023, there were significant changes to Art. 23 ZU "On mobilization training and mobilization". The legislator determined that now a citizen of our country who is conscripted into military service, if he provides constant care for a person with limited physical capabilities, has the right to postpone mobilization in the event that such a person with a disability does not have other able-bodied persons who are obliged by law to hold

In practice, this means that today the mechanism of registration of permanent care for persons who need it for conscripted citizens has been complicated.
