Rehabilitation plan

A rehabilitation plan should always take into account the health problem causing incapacity for work and seek ways to improve health, enhance work ability, or increase participation in employment.

A healthcare professional creates a realistic rehabilitation plan in consultation with the applicant and sends referrals to appropriate resources.

A healthcare professional can be:

  • doctor

  • physiotherapist

  • psychologist

  • social worker

  • occupational therapist

  • vocational rehabilitation centers throughout the country

Generally, a plan is made for 6 months at a time and extended as needed. An extension is applied for by submitting a new rehabilitation plan.

Please note that professionals need to submit the rehabilitation plan to TR (Social Insurance Administration) through Signet Transfer.
