Rehabilitation Services: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how rehabilitation services help employees manage health issues to stay in the workforce through medical or vocational support.
Rehabilitation services provide medical or vocational support to help people manage health conditions that impact their ability to work.
Who it's for
This scheme is for employees whose health is currently being threatened or has already been impaired by their work or general health issues.
What you get
You can receive medical rehabilitation or vocational rehabilitation. These services are designed to help you manage your health so that you can continue working in the workforce.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee for the services, but the process requires time and effort. You will need to go through an application process that involves coordination with your doctor and your employer.
The catch to know
The system follows the principle of "Rehab before pension." This means the primary goal of these services is to help you recover and stay employed rather than moving you toward an early retirement or pension.
How to apply
- Consult with your doctor regarding your health status.
- Coordinate with your employer regarding your ability to work.
- Submit an application for rehabilitation services.
