Disability is evaluated after scoring for each skill point based on a disability assessment standard. The first part of the standard evaluates physical skills. The second part of the standard evaluates mental skills. This is a total of 18 items.
In the first part, 15 points must be given to be considered as at least 75% of the invalidity.
In the second part, 10 points are needed to be considered as at least 75% invalidity.
If the applicant does not achieve the required number of points in the second part of the standard, he can still be assessed as at least 75% disabled, if he achieves a minimum of 6 points in each part of the standard.
