-
The claim for benefit was not approved
-
Only a partial benefit was approved.
-
A benefit was approved for a temporary period.
-
Retroactive payment for the maximum period was not approved.
The written appeal, with arguments, should be submitted to the claims officer at the local NII branch nearest to your place of residence within 90 days from the day you have received written notice of the NII's decision on your claim. The Disabled Child's Appeals Board convenes in the following local branches: Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Haifa and Ramle.
The decision of the Appeals Board is final. Queries on Law and Regulations alone may be ground for appealing against the Board's decision before
Labor Court.
An appeal before Labor Court may be submitted if the claim was denied due to a legal problem, such as:
-
The parent is not covered under national insurance;
-
The child is not in Israel;
-
The child receives benefits under the Mobility Agreement, and the standing loan has not yet been repaid;
-
The child is placed in an institution or with a foster family.
The written appeal, with arguments, should be submitted within 12 months from the day you have received written notice of the NII's decision on the claim.
You are entitled to submit a request for
legal aid.
