THE RIGHT TO CASH COMPENSATION FOR BODY IMPAIRMENT
Body impairment exists when there is a loss, a significant
impairment or a significant disablement of certain organs
or body parts of the insured person, which impedes normal
body activity and requires more effort in meeting the needs
of everyday life.
An insured person becomes eligible for the cash compensation
for body impairment if the impairment is caused by work
injury or occupational disease and amounts to at least
30%.
Body impairments are classified according to their severity
and can be determined in percentage from 100% at the most
to 30% at the least.
Cash compensation for body impairment is to be paid as
of the day of appearance of body impairment, but maximum
for the period of six months prior to the day of submitting
the application, is cases of body impairment having existed
before.
Body impairments are determined by the Regulation
on determining body impairments (‘Official Gazette of the Republic of
Serbia’, no. 105/03 and 120/08).
In order to exercise this right, with the application should be enclosed:
- Original of the medical documentation on
the existence of body impairment issued by a specialist
- Personal ID card photocopy
In cases when the person submitting the application is
a insured person, the following documentation should also
be enclosed:
- Work book – a certified photocopy
- Certificate of self-employment to be issued
by the competent institution
- Notification of work injury, in cases of
a body impairment resulting from a work injury
