How can it help you?
Level of participation and severity level of disability
For an individual, the level of participation (disability) is determined by the illness or condition and the individual's need for support. It can be set for a fixed or indefinite period.
After the level of participation (disability) is determined, the person is issued a certificate of a person with a disability, a decision on the level of participation (disability) and, upon the request of the person, a decision on the nature and conditions of possible work or other documens related to assessment as needed.
Read about the level of participation and the level of severity procedures.
The person may also have assesed needs for personal assistance, reimbursement of the cost of a car or its technical adaptation, coordination of assistance or other needs related to the person's disability.
Issuing a parking card for a person with a disability
The agency issues a card that entitles persons fitting the criteria to stop (park) in places designated for persons with disabilities or in places where they are not prohibited by the Road Traffic Rules of the European Union member state in which they are at that time. Read about the requirements for getting a card.
