Although it is a disease, chemical dependence is rarely one of the reasons for absence from work. This is because many are unaware of their rights and also of the situation in which they find themselves. However, it is possible to receive the INSS Sickness Allowance in cases of dependency. In this case, it is important that the patient makes the request, which can be done through the Meu INSS application, and fills in the requested information.
In addition, medical proof of the condition of dependence is required, similar to the case of other diseases. Including, it is also possible to apply for disability retirement due to chemical dependency, also if the condition is proven by a doctor. In addition, it is worth noting that at least 12 INSS contributions are required for both cases to be accepted.
Another way to resort to aid is through the Benefit of Continued Provision, the BPC. In this case, sick and disabled people in situations of social vulnerability can be assisted.
Like the other benefits, the BPC request is also made through the INSS application. However, in this case, there is a need to register with CadUnico to prove a situation of poverty. Not to mention the need for medical proof as well.
CadUnico registration is done through the Social Assistance Reference Center in your city, CRAS. Thus, the citizen receives the identification number of the NIS, which will also be important for completing the application for the benefit by the INSS.
Finally, it is possible to follow the processing of the benefit through the application, which will announce whether or not the person received this help.
