The issue of assessing the degree of dependence for the purposes of the care allowance for people with cancer
2022
Abstract
The authors clearly acquaint with the issue of assessing the degree of addiction, especially for people with cancer. The fragmentation of the care allowance process, the long processing times, even beyond the statutory deadlines, require a rapid change in the whole process, including the dependency assessment system.
The authors propose to prepare new criteria for assessing dependence for the purposes of the care allowance inspired by the German system, to leave the assessment to the competence of assessment assistants at the regional branches of the Labor Office and to concentrate the whole management process under the Labor Office of the Czech Republic.
