If you want to appeal the commission’s decision, you can do so within one month. For this, it is necessary to apply to the commission itself, or to the central or regional commission with a written application. Where a re-examination will be conducted and a new decision will be made. This decision can be appealed in central MSEK of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
In difficult cases, the central medical and social expert commission of the Ministry of Health, the regional and central city commission and the Ministry of Health can refer persons who apply for the establishment of disability to the clinic of the Ukrainian State Research Institute of Medical and Social Problems of Disability for a medical and social expert examination Dnipro) and the Research Institute of Rehabilitation of the Disabled (Vinnytsia).
After the appropriate survey, scientific research institutions draw up advisory conclusions that are of a recommendatory nature for the commission.
