as per criteria mentioned above for disability certificate if person who is disable cannot travel from one city to other city for assessment then which procedure should be adopted ?

Posted by Bintey Ali

I think, no need to travel from one city to another. Just visit District Headquarter Hospital of your District/City. The social welfare office in your district will facilitate you fully.
