Registration of disability for a child

Faced with serious problems with the health of their child, parents, of course, experience great difficulties. Registration of disability is one of the most important steps on this path, because it opens access to a number of state benefits and assistance, which are so necessary for treatment and rehabilitation.

What gives a disability status for a child?

• Preferential medical care: free medicines, prostheses, sanatorium-resort treatment, rehabilitation measures, etc.
• Social benefits: pension, care allowance, allowance for a disabled child.
• Other benefits: free travel in public transport, priority service in queues, the possibility of free education in specialized educational institutions, etc.

Algorithm for registering a child’s disability

1. Referral to a doctor: the family doctor or specialist refers the child to a medical and social examination (MSEK).
2. Collection of documents: passport of one of the parents, birth certificate of the child, medical records and other documents confirming the diagnosis and state of health of the child, photo of the child for the ID card with a disability, statement of one of the parents/legal representatives.
3. Completion of MSEK: examination of the child by doctors, assessment of the degree of persistent loss of functional capacity.
4. Obtaining a decision of the MSEK: when a disability is established, the child receives a certificate of disability and an individual rehabilitation program.
5. In case of disagreement with the decision of MSEK, it can be appealed.

The main difficulties if acting without legal support

1. Collection of a large number of documents:

• It is not always clear which certificates and statements are required.
• Some documents may be difficult to obtain.
• It is necessary to complete all documents correctly so that there are no mistakes.

2. Complex procedures:

• Bureaucratic barriers and queues.
• The need to communicate with various officials.
• Knowledge of MSEK legislation and procedures.

3. Risk of errors:

• Incorrect processing of documents.
• Incomplete information.
• Denial of disability due to mistakes.

4. Emotional condition:

• Parents worry about their child anyway.
• Disability registration can become an additional source of stress.
• The need to communicate with officials and defend your rights.

5. Ignorance of one’s rights:

• Parents do not always know what benefits and assistance they are entitled to.
• They do not know how to properly protect their interests and the rights of the child.

6. Waste of time and effort:

• Self-registration of disability can take a lot of time and effort.
• This time is better spent on child care.
