Victims of Hostilities - Appealing a decision of the medical committee

If you are not satisfied with the decision of the medical committee, you may appeal the decision to the medical appeals board. The appeal must be submitted within a month from the date of receipt of the decision (in special cases, the deadline can be extended by two months. After that time, it will no longer be legally possible to handle the appeal).

The itemized appeal must be submitted to the secretary of the medical committee at the NII branch. You can appeal the decision of the medical appeals board, solely on questions of law, to the Labor Court. The National Insurance Institute is entitled to appeal the medical committee’s decision in your case, both at the first level and to the Labor Court on questions of law.

The medical committees make their decisions independently and the National Insurance Institute is not entitled to intervene in those decisions.

If you submitted an appeal and you are informed that the medical committee is about to reduce the degree of your disability - you are entitled to cancel the appeal.
