The Brazilian government recently announced a change in the rule for the release of the benefit for temporary incapacity, known as sick pay, which is granted by INSS. As stated in Provisional Measure 1,113, the need to issue an opinion from the Federal Medical Expertise to apply for the benefit will be waived.

The analysis will now be done through documents such as certificates and medical reports, and it is no longer necessary for the person to physically attend an INSS agency. However, it is important to say here that the in-person medical expertise was not in fact extinguished, as it will still be required in some specific cases. Furthermore, some experts also say that this measure taken by the government may end increasing the number of benefits denied, causing the growth in lawsuits against the government Brazilian.
Another important point to be commented on is that the INSS is expected to expand the verification of policyholders who receive this type of benefit, which may be cut from now on. This benefit is provided to workers who have had an accident and are left with some kind of sequel that reduces their ability to work.
It would be like a kind of compensation, as it would not be necessary for the employee to be out of work, as he can perform a function in a different area. The release of this benefit was done definitively, and was only extinguished in cases of death or retirement. However, there is now the possibility that the aid will be revised and cut.
Even under criticism, with these possible cuts in accident assistance, the new form of granting the benefit received good evaluations by specialists in Social Security Law, as it started to accelerate its process of release. This also ended up reducing the queue for the INSS, which now has around 1.6 million people.
