SVI — Sistema de Verificação de Incapacidades (Segurança Social disability assessment service)
A Segurança Social service that assesses how far a person depends on others and is unable to work. Its assessment is the basis for a first- or second-degree dependency supplement, and it also confirms the cared-for person's condition for carer status.
Where you come across it. Applying for the complemento por dependência; applying for carer status when the cared-for person does not have the required supplement.
This is not the board that issues the atestado multiuso: that board comes under the Ministry of Health and sets a percentage of incapacity, while the SVI determines the degree of dependency for Segurança Social payments.
