In the event that government doctors do not approve the granting of assistance, the insured person will not receive any supplement, but will also not have to refund what he has already received if there is no evidence of attempted fraud.

For those who are already registered with Meu INSS, the process is clearer. But it is possible to make the request and send the certificate without needing previous registration on the site. The application can be made through the Meu INSS application, available for cell phones with Android or iOS systems or through the portal https://meu.inss.gov.br/.
