Social Security

Parkinson's patients are granted many rights by the National Insurance, among them:

1. disability from work
2. Mobility allowance
3. Special services for the disabled
4. disability rules
5. Professional rehabilitation, and more.

In general, the more the disease progresses and the more limited the patient, the greater the rights to which he is entitled, so there is no automatic entitlement immediately upon diagnosis of the disease. Check which branch of social security you belong to - only there you will get treatment. Also, check what the reception hours are. Mobility, for example, has different reception hours than general disability - at least in some branches. All information appears on the National Insurance website. Disability certificate - an explanation of its receipt appears on the National Insurance website

A guide for a Parkinson's patient applying to the National Insurance

Women with Parkinson's will sooner or later reach a medical committee at the National Insurance, to determine their percentage of medical disability. Determining the percentages of medical disability is the basis for determining eligibility for general disability allowance and special services allowance. These percentages are also used for benefits from other government bodies, such as exemption from income tax and more.
