3. Ask the FPS Public Health for the disability recognition forms and have them filled in by the general practitioner. Attach all reports and examination results from the SED doctor specialist.
In order to have a disabled place and benefits you need at least 8 points at the FPS Public Health. This is at the discretion of the medical officer. In case of refusal or dispute, ask a doctor who is an expert in the evaluation of physical injury to help you, independently. Preferably an expert doctor who is familiar with the SED.
