Ticket exemption for disability, how to request the card?

The ticket exemption is also available to disabled people who can request a special card.
The validity can be unlimited, 10 years or reviewable based on the report of recognition of the disabling pathology.
With the recognition of exemption from copays, disabled people can benefit from some (or all, depending on the case) specialist outpatient services recognized by the national health service free of charge.
To request the exemption you must contact the local health authority of residence and only when you are in possession of a disability report ascertained by the medical commission of the same Local Health Authority.

The disability's income does not contribute to the right, but only the disabling pathology.
The exemption entitles, in some cases, to all the benefits guaranteed by the NHS while in others only for those related to the disabling pathology.
Unlike what happens when requesting exemption based on income or age, the ticket exemption card issued due to disability requires different documentation.
It can be requested either by presenting yourself at the territorially competent office of the ASL, or by contacting the office of your health district of residence via email.
The request must be accompanied by the following documentation: identification document; Tax ID code; for those disabled due to service, the ministerial decree in certified copy; for war invalids the form 69 in certified copy; for civilian invalids, a certified copy of the disability report; for those injured at work the Inail certificate in a certified copy.
How much is the exemption from paying the ticket worth? The validity of the card has variable periods.
For 100% disabled civilians, the blind, the deaf and those with permanent disabilities that cannot be changed, the card has unlimited validity.
For civilian invalids with a percentage lower than 100% the validity is 10 years provided that the report does not require review; in the latter case it has the same validity as the recognition of civil disability subject to review.
