He confirmed that the new services include “requesting a letter to reduce working hours for persons with disabilities and their caregivers, requesting a certificate for whom it may concern, and receiving certificates, including disability and caregiver certificates; scheduling appointments with medical committees; and requesting certificate renewals.”

He added that the services also cover “requesting retirement benefits for persons with disabilities, requesting hearing aids, requesting wheelchairs, requesting fingerprint exemption for persons with disabilities, and submitting a request for a parking permit.”
