title: [Physicians' tasks in connection with application for disability pensions].
abstract: The article includes a general view of Disability Pensions in the National Insurance Scheme. Some statistics relating to Disability Pensions are included. We thoroughly examine the procedures for handling a new case, and the possible introduction of new ways of simplifying the procedures for dealing with new applications for disability pension. From the professional point of view, we discuss in detail the doctors task in regard to new applicants' demand for disability pension; in particular elderly patients over 64, and abusers of alcohol and drugs. We focus briefly on the diffuse diseases. We also consider the patients' right to read the medical certificate.
