Social Security Lawyers
Exercising Medical Rights — General Disability and Work Disability Claims in Israel
The National Insurance Institute (Bituach Leumi) is a government body that collects insurance premiums and disburses allowances to eligible individuals according to statutory criteria. In theory, claimants should not need legal representation when filing claims. In practice, however, many citizens and residents who require financial assistance find their claims rejected outright—or dismissed after a brief examination lasting only a few minutes before a medical committee physician.

National Insurance Medical Committees
Claims may be rejected for a variety of reasons, including complex procedural requirements, dense regulations, and claimants’ unfamiliarity with the law. The intricate rules governing National Insurance proceedings mean that inadequate preparation, improper claim filing, or insufficient performance during the brief medical committee examination can lead to rejection—and potentially harm future claims as well.
Retaining a social security attorney significantly increases the likelihood of a successful claim. Engaging a lawyer before filing with the National Insurance Institute ensures professional guidance from the document-gathering and medical testing phase onward. With over 15 years of experience in national insurance law, our attorneys focus on the relevant medical impairment clauses to achieve optimal results.
It is essential to understand that only a licensed attorney may represent a claimant before a medical committee, as these are quasi-judicial proceedings with binding outcomes. A specialized attorney ensures that proceedings are conducted lawfully and that the claimant’s rights are fully protected.
Our experience demonstrates that claims filed with proper legal support from start to finish are treated more fairly, and claimants’ rights are better preserved. Unfortunately, many meritorious claims are rejected when claimants lack appropriate representation—often due to procedural unfamiliarity or focus on irrelevant issues.
If your claim has been rejected, the situation is not lost. In most cases, a detailed, well-reasoned appeal can be submitted to an appeals committee composed of senior physicians who will review the initial decision. With proper legal representation, there is a strong chance of overturning an unjust rejection.
