Conditions, costs and deadlines according to the procedure and your situation. This guide helps to prepare; the competent department decides.

For preparation

Difficult tasks and adaptations that could help
Exhibits requested by the MDPH; medical data to the competent professional

1. Distinguish status and allowance

The RQTH is an administrative recognition providing access to employment and accommodation measures. It does not automatically guarantee allowances, pensions or wages.

2. Preparing the application

Ask the MDPH folder, parts and renewal. Describe in concrete terms the professional consequences. Some recognized statutes follow specific rules: check before multiplying files.

3. Talking about professional constraints

The occupational doctor examines health and work and may propose accommodation. Prepare tasks, materials and schedules. The medical data are not to be disseminated to colleagues: the doctor is kept incommunicado.

4. Check support and implementation

To access or retain employment, see France Travail, Employment Cap and relevant funds. With employer or referent disability, define actions, responsibility and follow-up.
