General information

Full or partial restoration of the independence, physical, mental, domestic, social, and vocational abilities of persons with disabilities through a system of medical, psychological, pedagogical, sports, socio-economic, and other measures aimed at eliminating or compensating for disability

An Individual Rehabilitation Program is developed for the medical, vocational, psychological-pedagogical rehabilitation of persons with disabilities and for the development of their social skills.

• The Individual Rehabilitation Program is prepared for the period during which the disability is determined, or for five (5) years if the disability is established as permanent.
•    The program is prepared by the Medical and Social Expert Commission (MSEC) within two working days with the participation of the person with a disability and/or their legal representative. The prepared program is entered into the Ministry’s Centralized Electronic Information System within one working day.
•    To assess the effectiveness of the measures specified in the Individual Rehabilitation Program or the necessity for additions or amendments, the MSEC reviews the relevant measures once a year for persons with disabilities, and once every six months for persons with disabilities under the age of 18.
•    The completed Individual Rehabilitation Program is reflected in a special section of the personal account of the person with a disability on the Ministry’s “e-social” internet portal. The personal account displays the individual’s personal data, the percentage, cause, and duration of functional impairment, the approval date of the program, rehabilitation measures to be carried out, their start and end dates, and their implementation status.
