Preparation of documents for objection to disability degree determination and administrative appeals

When you apply for disability registration, the National Pension Service reviews the case with the participation of medical specialists and decides the severity as 'severe disability', 'non-severe disability' or not applicable, and the result is notified by the town or district office of your address. Under Article 84 of the Act on Welfare of Persons with Disabilities, if you disagree with the decision you may file a written objection within 90 days of learning of the decision, and separately you may file an administrative appeal within 90 days of learning of the disposition or within 180 days of the disposition. If the reason for refusal is insufficient diagnostic material, reapplying with supplemented material is faster, and if it is a difference in interpreting the standards, you dispute it through an objection or administrative appeal. For developmental disabilities where test scores fluctuated, functional materials such as school records and teacher opinions can provide grounds to change the result.

  1. 01

    Check the reason in the decision notice: First determine whether the reason stated in the notice is insufficient medical certificates or test results, or a difference in interpreting the disability severity standards. Reapply if materials were insufficient, and choose an objection or administrative appeal if it is a matter of interpretation.

  2. 02

    Calculate the deadlines: The objection deadline is 90 days from learning of the decision, and the administrative appeal deadline is 90 days from learning of the disposition or 180 days from the disposition. Record both deadlines on a calendar based on the date you received the notice.

  3. 03

    Supplement supporting evidence: In addition to the specialist's disability certificate and test results, gather medical records, treatment and rehabilitation history, and materials showing functional limitations in daily life. For developmental disabilities, special class records, school records and teacher opinions serve as grounds for functional assessment.

  4. 04

    Prepare and submit the objection: Organize which item of the severity standards you believe applies and the supporting evidence, and submit the objection to the town or district office of your address. Once received, the National Pension Service reviews the case again.

  5. 05

    File an administrative appeal: If you still disagree after the objection or want to dispute separately from the objection, prepare and submit an administrative appeal petition. If you disagree with the appeal ruling, you may proceed to an administrative lawsuit within 90 days of receiving the written ruling.

If you file only an objection when there is diagnostic material to supplement, or let the 90-day objection and appeal deadlines pass while preparing a reapplication, you can no longer dispute the existing decision, so sort out the reason first and then choose the route.
