How do I apply for an RQTH?
Recognition of the status of disabled workers (RQTH) is an administrative decision that grants persons with disabilities a quality that allows them to benefit from specific assistance.
A disabled worker is considered to be “any person whose opportunities to obtain or maintain employment are effectively reduced as a result of the impairment of one or more physical, sensory, mental, mental or psychological functions.” (Article L5213-1 of the Labor Code)
To obtain an RQTH, you must fill out an application for disability compensation and file it with your Departmental House for Persons with Disabilities (MDPH).
This file must be completed, dated and signed by the employee and/or his legal representative. It must include all the supporting documents necessary to process the request as well as a regulatory medical certificate.
- The RQTH can be requested from the age of 16 and with no age limit beyond that.
- The RQTH is awarded for a fixed period of 1 to 10 years, renewable upon submission of a new application.
- When applying for renewal, the RQTH is maintained as long as the Commission on the Rights and Autonomy of Persons with Disabilities (CDAPH) has not issued its decision.
For employees who absolutely need an RQTH to stay employed, there is a Expedited procedure form Which must be completed by the occupational physician.
