Court Nullifies Decision Of Paha Panel Over Disability
The Administrative Court has nullified decision of the Disability Diagnosis Medical Committee at the Public Authority for Handicapped Affairs, which declared a child as having minor permanent sight disability, so the court now established the child as having average permanent eyesight disability with associated effects. Details of a lawsuit filed by the lawyer of the disabled child, Attorney Ali Al-Ali, revealed the child went through left eye transplant surgery that led to the disability. He objected to decision of the authority which classified the disability as minor, saying it violated law number 49/1996 and Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor decision number 45/1997. The law and decision are relevant to the conclusion of the Disability Diagnosis Medical Committee formed by the Higher Council for Handicapped Affairs which decided that the child was born with permanent average eyesight disability. The court categorized the case under law number 49/1996 which stipulates necessary care for people with less than 50 percent permanent disability. Al-Ali disclosed Article One of law number 8/2010 concerning rights of people with disability stipulates that everybody who suffers partial or complete disabilities which affect physical, mental or sensory functions could impede daily activities in the society alongside his peers.
