Many Israelis are unaware of all the rights available to them from the National Insurance Institute (Bituach Leumi). In many cases people are entitled to allowances, recognition of a disability percentage and a range of other benefits — but never act to claim them, because of the bureaucracy, a lack of knowledge, or fear of the process.
What does the process involve?
The process of realising rights with the National Insurance Institute can involve:
- Complex forms
- Medical committees
- Medical records
- Documentation of functioning
- A long wait
- Appeals and supplementary submissions
Which areas does the National Insurance Institute cover?
- General disability
- Work accidents
- PTSD
- Hostile-action casualties
- Special services
- Loss of earning capacity
- Disabled child benefit
- Income tax exemption
💡 Worth knowing
Missing a filing deadline can damage your entitlement. It is important to act early rather than wait.
