The article, in collaboration with zap legal, explains mobility rights for people with leg impairments under the National Insurance Institute's mobility agreement. It describes the difference between recognition of disability and eligibility for mobility benefits, which include a monthly allowance, assistance in purchasing a vehicle, and a standing loan to cover taxes. The article emphasizes that eligibility is assessed according to a defined list of lower limb impairments, and that the Ministry of Health's medical committee determines the disability percentage, while the National Insurance Institute examines the benefits. It notes that an appeal against the committee's decision can be filed within 60 days, and that the retirement age for mobility purposes is 67. The article is based on theoretical examples and does not replace legal advice.
