Hi all, We learnt from one of our helpdesk clients who was denied to be given disability certificate in a delhi govt hospital saying that new rules have come in by which certificate would be issued to those who are 90% or more blind. Fortunately we could speak to the chairman of the medical board who confirmed that such rules have come since october 2010 and they possess the circular. When he didn't email us after repeated assurances, we search and were amazed to find the same on Delhi govt site.
As if we had not enough, we see this new rule of Delhi govt. Pasting below the link as well the full text. Not only they have set their own minimum percentages of disability to be certified, but also see the procedure to get the certificate Has anybody else also faced such a denial?
