Disability certificate level and disability level 1—10 are not the same thing

Many people get confused when they hear "disability level" and "disability level 1-10": Are these two the same thing? Does disability level 10 mean disability level 4? Can I apply for a disability certificate directly with the work-related injury appraisal form? In fact, these are completely different things. Just like steamed buns and steamed buns, they can fill the stomach just by looking at them, but their essence and purpose are completely different. One is the "guarantee certificate" to help disabled people enjoy long-term benefits, and the other is the "benefits certificate" to deal with work-related injuries, compensation and other matters. Let me explain it to you below!

1. Why is it easy to be confused?

In daily life, Disability certificate level span>and"1-10level disability"are often confused. Some people want to apply for a disability certificate directly with a work-related injury certificate, while others think that the fourth level of the disability certificate corresponds to the tenth level of disability. The root of these misunderstandings is that both are related to "Body dysfunction are related, but essentially they are two independent identification systems serving different scenarios. Focus on disability certificate levelsSocial welfare security, 1—10< /span>Level Disability FocusCompensation and treatment in specific scenariosThe two can neither replace each other nor simply correspond.

2. Essential differences between the two systems

(1) Disability certificate level: welfare recognition for all disabled people

The disability certificate level is the disability degree standard determined by the Disabled Persons' Federation (Disabled Persons' Federation) based on the "Disability Classification and Grading of Disabled Persons" (GB/T26341-2010). The core purpose is to provide social welfare security for disabled people. Its recognition scope covers all types of disabled people. Regardless of whether the disability is caused by work-related injuries, traffic accidents, congenital defects or other reasons, as long as they meet the disability classification and grading standards, you can apply for it.

(2) 1—10Grade disability: basis for compensation and treatment in specific scenarios

1-10Grade disability is the grading standard in labor ability appraisal or disability pension. The core is divided into two types of scenarios: one is Work-related injury and disability, based on the "Labor Capacity Appraisal of Employees' Disability Levels of Work-related Injuries and Occupational Diseases" (GB/T16180-2014), it is suitable for employees who are injured or suffer from occupational diseases due to work, and are used to determine The second is disability pension , which is based on the "Disability Pension Management Measures" and is applicable to veterans, people's police and other personnel who are disabled due to war and duty, and is used to calculate pension benefits. The core of this system is "Responsibility Association", which only conducts grade assessments for disabilities caused by specific causes.

Four. Grading details

(1) Disability certificate level: according to Degree of functional impairmentGrading pan>

The core logic of the disability certificate level isThe degree of limitation in daily life and social participation ability n>Level (extremely severe): Completely dependent on the care of others, such as quadriplegia, severe intellectual disability, unable to independently perform any activities of daily living;

  • 2 span>Grade (severe): Requires most care, such as hemiplegia, blindness, amputation of both lower limbs, and is basically unable to live independently;

  • Level 3 (moderate) : Partial self-care, such as single limb loss, moderate hearing impairment, requiring certain assistance to complete part of social participation;

  • Level 4 (mild): Basic self-care, such as mild physical disability and speech impairment, with little impact on daily activities.

  • The classification covers 7 dimensions. Even if there are multiple disabilities (such as vision and hearing disabilities at the same time), the level is determined according to the most severe disability category.

    (2) 1—10 grade disability: press "Organ damage and medical dependence"Grading

    1—10The core logic of grade disability isThe impact of disability on working ability, the level classification is more detailed, covering 530 specific cruelty entries:

    • 1-4 Grade (severe disability): Organs are completely missing or fully functional Total loss, requiring special medical dependence or complete impairment of self-care, such as extremely severe intellectual impairment, quadriplegia, and double lung transplantation;

    • Level 5-6 (moderate disability)< /span>Most organs are defective or obviously deformed, with moderate functional impairment, such as unilateral pneumonectomy and severe spinal deformity; >7-10 grade (mild disability): Partial organ defects or deformities, mild functional impairment, such as partial loss of fingers, no functional impairment after internal fixation of fractures.

    This system pays special attention to "Medical dependence" The determination of span> and "nursing dependence" is directly related to the calculation of the amount of compensation. =Disability Certificate4Level

    The two classification logics are completely different: DisabilityGrade 10 may only be a minor fracture without functional impairment after healing, while the disability certificate 4 must reach grade Mild functional impairment, affecting social participation, such as mild hearing impairment (average hearing loss in the better ear41-60dBHL), there is no corresponding relationship between the two.

    Myth 2: Having a work-related injury and disability certificate can directly apply for a disability certificate

    The work-related injury and disability certificate only proves the loss of working ability due to work-related injuries, while the disability certificate needs to be re-evaluated according to the "Disability Classification and Grading of Disabled Persons". For example, a work-related injury grade 10 (missing distal finger) may not meet the physical disability grade 4 standard and cannot apply for a disability certificate; conversely, a person with congenital intellectual disability may apply for a disability certificate even though he or she does not have a work-related injury certificate.

    Myth 3: The higher the level, the better the benefits

    Disability Certificate1-4All levels can enjoy core benefits, but some policies There are additional preferences (such as higher subsidy standards) for severely disabled people with levels 1-2; and work-related injuries and disabilities with levels 1-10 have corresponding compensation. The higher the level, the higher the compensation amount.Levels 1-4 can receive disability allowance on a monthly basis.

    6. Summary

    Disability certificate level and1—10< /span>Grade disability is a two-level system: the former is a disabled person "Qualification certificate""""", covering a wide range of areas, focusing on daily survival and social participation abilities; the latter is a special "Benefit Voucher" under certain scenarios, focusing on work-related injury compensation or disability pension, with the core focus on loss of labor ability and liability compensation.

    The two cannot be confused or substituted for each other. Only by applying as needed can you protect your own rights and interests in accordance with the law.
