Question
Who can assess an individual’s level of fitness, and whether they are partially or totally disabled?

As per the UAE Pension Law, only the Ministry of Health and Prevention Medical Committee can take a decision on the exact medical condition of the individual, and whether the incident resulted in partial or total disability.

The medical committee was formed by the UAE Ministry of Health to determine the disability rate or non-fitness level an individual may have suffered as a result of a work-related injury. The medical diagnoses must be in line with the provisions of the UAE Pension Law.
