Resolution introduces comprehensive changes to a large number of regulatory legal acts in connection with the introduction of a new system for assessing an individual’s daily functioning instead of medical and social expertise.
The main changes relate to replacing medical and social expert commission (MSEC) certificates with extracts from expert team decisions on assessing an individual’s daily functioning. Such changes are made to the procedures for appointing various types of social assistance, pensions, compensations, benefits, etc.
Key provisions:
– MSEC documents issued previously remain valid until planned assessment by expert teams
– Extracts from expert team decisions become the primary document for confirming disability
– Terminology is updated – ‘medical and social expertise’ is replaced with ‘assessment of an individual’s daily functioning’
– Procedures for referral to assessment and interaction between various authorities are modified
