atestado médico de incapacidade multiuso (certificate of degree of disability)
A certificate of your percentage of disability, issued by a health service medical board. The percentage is worked out from the national disability table, and the certificate is needed for concessions: tax breaks, concessions when buying a car, a disabled badge and other measures where the law requires a confirmed disability. The procedure is set out in decree-law 202/96.
Where you come across it. When a person has a disability and wants the concessions they are entitled to because of it.
By law, the examination must be scheduled within 60 days of the application, but people report waiting a year or more. Not to be confused with the dependency assessment for a pension supplement: that is done by a different service, the SVI of Segurança Social.
