Appealing a decision of the National Insurance Institute


The decision of the National Insurance Institute can be appealed to the Regional Labor Court. The appeal (“action”) must be filed with the court within six months of the date of receipt of written notification by the National Insurance Institute regarding its decision.

A person whose claim for an injury allowance is denied and who wishes to appeal that decision to the Labor Court, is entitled to request free legal aid from the Legal Aid Bureau of Ministry of Justice in his area of residence.
