AMIM — Atestado Médico de Incapacidade Multiuso (medical certificate of the degree of disability)
The abbreviation public bodies use for the certificate stating your percentage of disability. It is issued by a health service medical board, and the percentage is worked out from a national table. One certificate serves every purpose, hence “multiuso”: it is used to grant tax benefits, a disabled parking badge and benefits when buying a car, and by municipalities for their own local services. Under most rules the threshold for benefits is 60%.
Where you come across it. Applying for a disability benefit, local support programmes from the câmara, the tax return, papers for a car.
In conversation the same document is simply called the atestado multiuso. Apply for it early: by law the examination must be scheduled within 60 days of the application, but people report waiting a year or more.
