Hi, My application for UDID card has been processed in April 2024 and medical formalities including sonography of the eye amongst other tests completed but the status on the UDID website shows "pending- medical representative will be assigned to you" Cooper Hospital Vile Parle west is the hospital assigned around Mumbai suburbs. Now, I am unable to proceed with renewing railway concession. I travel often and unable to move ahead on this.
Every time I visit Cooper Hospital during mornings, I need to be watchful of time for moving around through departments consumes time and I need to go to office thereafter. The solutions I have received so far are to call the hospital landline to get the statusof UDID. For every visit to Cooper, sometimes the same sighted assistance cannot be available and therefore the process gets dropped off mid way. This is just to share the process of obtaining UDID in Mumbai and its complexity as of today.
