The work-ability assessment, step by step
The work-ability assessment, step by step: one page for what the assessor actually reads, one for the entries your doctor must have made before you apply…
This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
One page for what the assessor actually reads, one for the entries your doctor must have made before you apply and by when, one per decision type and what each pays, one for the activity requirement that suspends payment, one for reassessment, and one per common condition group describing what evidence usually carries the decision.
Finland's parallel route — the doctor's B-statement, the fixed-term rehabilitation subsidy before any permanent decision — and Latvia's and Lithuania's commissions get the same treatment. One focus is "The documents your GP must have entered before your application is even assessable".
How to use it
Use The work-ability assessment, step by step as a map of the process: identify the situation, check which country or authority owns the rule, and confirm the current version before a deadline or application.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.

Evidence and provenance
The evidence map below records the primary, official or openly licensed material chosen for this guide. It is deliberately visible so a reader can tell the difference between a rule published by an authority, a measured dataset and an editorial explanation.

Source names are preserved even where an authority changes its web address. No figure is added to this launch page unless it is already present in the cited source description or can be computed from a named dataset.
