“We have identified serious problems in the system of classification in disability: incomplete files, forged documents, abusive classifications and procedural errors. These irregularities directly affect the people who really need support”, announced Florin Manole, the Minister of Labor.
That is why, the minister, the project he put in transparency, regarding the classification of disability, has a clear purpose: “Let’s reduce fraud and protect the real beneficiaries”.
“This system must work only in their favor. Therefore, I assure everyone that there will be sufficient and constructive discussions, consultations will be organized, under conditions of transparency and openness, so that the project is responsible for the needs and expectations of the beneficiaries”,, stressed Minister Florin Manole.
Among the frauds and irregularities found in the system of classification in disability are: procedural inconsistencies and errors – fractions made on the basis of contradictory social surveys, the wrong type of disability, properly classified persons who did not receive permanent certificates, although they had this right; unjustified or abusive-dosage fractions that do not comply with the criteria for medical-psychosocial classification.
At the same time, there were found classifications on inconclusive diagnoses, classifications for certain types of diseases that did not justify the degree of disability; Falsification of medical documents – falsified paraphrases, including one that erroneously indicates the specialty “Spihiatru”, summary medical documents, limited diagnosis, without confirmation through investigations (eg without MRI/CT), suspicions of forgery and use of false to obtain the certificate, for which the Prosecutor’s Office was notified.
According to the minister, the National Authority for the Protection of the rights of persons with disabilities (ANPDPD) “He will organize debates and take every day all the legitimate and good faith questions that will be asked during this period.”
“In order not to fall into the net of misinformation or voluntary or involuntary distortions that can circulate on social networks, they give everyone to ask questions to this institution. It will provide a call center and an email address. We want a system based on trust, responsibility and respect for the rights of the vulnerable.”concluded the Minister of Labor.
