Working patients, who have a 100% medical disability or more permanently or 89% due to some disabilities, must obtain a form from Social Security recognized as a “medical disability protocol for income tax purposes.”
Be sure to stamp the form or photo with an original Social Security stamp. The Assessing Officer will equip the patient with a permanent permit which must be forwarded to the employer for further treatment.
There may be a situation where the assessee will require a special health committee, even in the case of 89% permanent medical disability.
Holders of temporary disability percentages or less than 89% can contact the assessee in the area of residence and request a summons to the health committee. The Assessing Officer will equip the patient with appropriate forms and precise instructions regarding the continuation of treatment. Treatment, in this case, involves a fee.
