title: [Restrictions in connection with disability pensions--physicians' view on the revised legislation].
abstract: In 1991, the Norwegian legislation on disability pensions was revised, narrowing the medical criteria for eligibility. From a questionnaire answered by 66 primary health care physicians attending a course in Oslo in October 1992, data were collected on doctors' attitudes and expectations regarding the revised legislation. The physicians did not believe that refusing a higher percentage of applications for disability pension would bring many applicants back to paid employment. The majority believed that lower expenditure on disability pensions would be reflected in a corresponding increase in other public expenditures. Despite this, half of the participants welcomed the revision of the law.
