In Ukraine, the concept of "disability" is defined in legislation and regulated by the law "On social protection of disabled people in Ukraine". According to this law, disability is the condition of a person who has persistent health limitations, associated with a violation of the functions of organs and systems of the body, which determine the need for social support and assistance.
There is a disability classification system, which provides for the establishment of disability groups depending on the degree of health limitations and the ability to self-care, work and study. These disability groups are determined by medical commissions on the basis of a medical examination and examination.
Ukrainian legislation also provides for a number of benefits and support for the disabled, including free medical services, discounted travel in public transport, access to rehabilitation measures and other forms of social support, as well as the opportunity to arrange permanent external care.
In Ukraine, it is possible to establish a disability group without a review in cases where the medical condition of the disabled person is stable and does not undergo significant changes for a long time. Such cases may include situations where medical documentary material and other circumstances indicate the persistence of health limitations and unfitness for work, study or self-care.
When establishing a disability group without re-examination, the medical commission or expert group is based on information about the state of health that was provided during previous medical examinations and examinations.However, if the medical condition of the disabled person changes or new circumstances appear that may affect the degree of health limitations, the establishment of the disability group may be revised.
It is important to note that individual cases can vary depending on the circumstances, so if you have questions about the establishment of a disability group, it is recommended to seek advice from a medical institution or social service that provides services for people with disabilities.
Establishment of a disability group without review after reaching the age of 18 in Ukraine is possible in cases where the medical condition of the disabled person is stable and does not undergo significant changes for a long time. In such situations, a review may not be necessary, since it is known that the state of health does not improve and does not change significantly.
However, if the disabled person's health changes or new circumstances affect his condition, it may be necessary to revise the established disability group. For example, if new medical problems arise or the disabled person's condition worsens, it may be necessary to review their disability status.
Therefore, the possibility of establishing a disability group without review after the age of 18 in Ukraine depends on the specific circumstances and medical indicators of the disabled person. In conditions of stability of the state of health, a decision can be made to establish a disability group without further review. However, in case of changes in the state of health, a review of the disability may be conducted to update its status.
