The medical committee at the National Insurance Institute is one of the most important stages in the process of realising your rights. In many cases, the committee’s decision has a direct effect on the disability percentage, the allowances and the benefits a person may receive.
What happens at the medical committee?
At the committee, doctors from different fields examine your medical and functional condition and decide on the disability percentage. The decision is based on:
- The medical documents you submitted
- A physical examination
- Your description of your functional difficulties
Common mistakes at medical committees
- Arriving without organised documents
- Playing down the severity of your condition
- Failing to spell out the real difficulties
- Insufficient medical documentation
- Arriving without any preparation
💡 Worth knowing
Talk about your difficulties on your worst day — not on an average one. The committee needs to understand the maximum impact on your daily life.
How to prepare properly for the committee
- Collect all your medical documents
- Write out a list of symptoms and difficulties
- Document the decline in your functioning
- Prepare what to say to the committee doctors
- Bring someone with you if you need to
