How to establish a disability

Introduction

Disability is established when persistent impairments of bodily functions result in limitations on daily activities and the need for social protection measures.

In Kazakhstan, disability status, the degree of loss of working capacity, and the necessary social protection measures are determined based on the results of a Medical and Social Assessment (MSA).

Where provided for by law, the MSA may be conducted in person, remotely, or through a proactive remote assessment process.

The procedure for conducting an MSA is regulated by the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Rules approved by Order No. 260 dated June 29, 2023, as subsequently amended.
