THE National Social Security Institute (INSS) is constantly updating itself to better serve its beneficiaries. Thus, there was recently an important update that deserves attention. New diseases were included in the list of conditions that allow the granting of disability retirement.
This change is significant, as it expands access to rights for many insured individuals who, until now, faced difficulties in having their claims recognized. Now, with the inclusion of these new diseases, more people can benefit from disability retirement, thus ensuring essential financial support at a time of vulnerability.
This update reflects the INSS’s commitment to adapt to the emerging needs of its members. Thus, the inclusion of new diseases in the disability retirement list shows sensitivity to changes in the population’s health profile. This is crucial to ensure that the social security system remains relevant and effective in supporting Brazilian citizens.
