Result
The director or deputy director of the social welfare department is responsible for the decision regarding compensation. The result of dwelling adaptation sees an increase in life quality for children or adults with disability, an increase in their ability to cope independently at home, while also forestalling elderly people’s need for social care institutions.
What to do when the result is unsatisfactory:
The person whose rights have been violated when determining compensation for adaptation of dwelling can present a challenge for such incidents at the Tallinn City Government or at the county government. The person, whose challenge is left outstanding or whose rights have been violated during the proceedings can appeal at the Administrative Court according to the Code of Administrative Court Procedure. The person can turn to the Administrative Court without presenting the initial challenge as well.
