O impacto da pandemia na concessão dos benefícios por incapacidade temporária

Abstract

The present work intends to examine the impact of the pandemic on the granting of temporary disability benefits, presenting the main changes that occurred in these benefits during the pandemic period, caused by COVID-19, and the legal consequences of the delay in the analysis of these benefits. The method used to obtain the information necessary to make the study flow will be the deductive method that will allow deduction through materials such as doctrine, legal research, judgments, articles, among others. It should be noted that during the pandemic period many benefits were not analyzed in a time considered reasonable, which generated an exhausting situation for most applicants who applied for the temporary disability benefit to the INSS. Such an attitude violates the individual rights of the insured applicant, who, due to incapacity for work, had to leave his work activities.
