Legal, medical and social aspects of the expertise for working capacity - Past and present

Abstract

The increase in the number of Bulgarian citizens, willing to receive a degree of disability, is a reflection of the demographic situation in the country. The poor health of the population and its vulnerable groups further contributes to overloading the Territory Expert Medical Commissions and increases the pensions paid by the National Insurance Institute pensions. The determination of the degree of disability, however, appears to be the most important legal consequence for people with disabilities. In this sense, the vision for the development of the expertise for working capacity in Bulgaria is increasingly linked with the growing medical, social, economic and legal significance of the studied/ investigated system. In accordance with the principle of managerial responsibility, it is necessary to develop a concept for a new model expertise for working capacity in order to be prepared and adopted a strategic plan for future development.
