Degree of temporary disability


If the medical committee decides that the injured person’s condition is not permanent and is liable to change, it will establish a temporary degree of disability for him for a maximum future period of one year. During that time, he will be paid a pension for the temporary degree of disability and at the end of that period, he will be summoned to appear before another medical committee.

Degree of disability for a “needy disabled person”
An injured person for whom a temporary disability of less than 100% was established and, due to his disability is not able to work at any job whatsoever and does not have income from any occupation, may be entitled to a temporary disability of 100%. The degree of disability is established for a period of up to four months. For that purpose, the injured person must submit a Claim for a Needy Disabled Person and a decision will be made by the "authorization committee", which includes a claims officer, a rehabilitation officer and a doctor.
