The main criteria for obtaining the third group of disability

The main criteria for obtaining the third group of disability include chronic diseases of internal organs, such as gastritis or peptic ulcer disease in remission, chronic bronchitis or asthma, which require constant treatment, but do not significantly reduce work capacity, as well as cardiovascular diseases such as as a hypertensive disease of moderate severity without significant complications.

Neurological disorders can also be the basis for the designation of the third group of disabilities, in particular, a mild form of multiple sclerosis or neuralgia, which does not cause serious impairment of motor functions. Post-stroke conditions with limited functional impairment may also meet the criteria.

Orthopedic disorders, such as mild forms of arthritis or arthrosis, which do not significantly reduce independence and work capacity, as well as spine or limb deformities, which do not significantly limit the ability to perform daily tasks, can also be the basis for obtaining the third group of disability.

Endocrine diseases that can be the basis for the appointment of this group of disabilities include diabetes in the compensation stage, which requires regular monitoring and treatment, as well as hypothyroidism without serious complications, which does not significantly affect vitality.

Mental disorders such as mild forms of depression or anxiety disorders that are not critical and do not interfere with daily tasks may also meet the criteria. Schizophrenia in the stage of stable remission without pronounced mental disorders can also be the basis for assigning the third group of disability.

Obtaining the status of a disabled person of the third group may be accompanied by certain difficulties. Including:

• The need to correctly draw up medical documentation. Incorrectly executed documents may cause rejection. It is important that all medical certificates and conclusions are correctly filled out and meet the requirements of MSEK.
