anneb Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 If a person is disabled and on long term Incapacity Benefit andspending long periods in France, say five or six months of the year butunder the 183 days for domicile purposes, can they still apply for theCotorep ?Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 As long as they are full time residents and are filling in tax forms etc I would imagine that they could apply to cotorep, only the cotorep could really answer that question though.

anneb Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 So is it only available if a person is a full time resident ?What about a disabled person resident for half a year ?Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 What are you after? I would have thought that your country of residence should cover your needs and there should be reciprocal arrangements for medical care when in another country. If you are a french resident then you should ask your caisse de maladie and the cotorep, if a british resident then which ever authorities that deal with you. Parking badges are valid in other european countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anneb Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Ah, I didn't know that parking badges were valid in all EU countries, I was thinking of things like that, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I am sure that it has been mentioned on here that parking badges can be used in other EU countries and I would hope that are tranferrable. I consider it rather important that they are. Also, getting such badges in France can be hard and a long drawn out process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hastobe Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I have a blue badge (issued in the UK) and it is valid for all EUcountries. We have used it a few time while visiting France.Hastobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 As The COTOREP is the Commission Technique d'Orientation et de Reclassement Professionnel, the aim of which is to integrate handicapped people into the workforce, it would seem to be illogical to register unless you were seriously intending to find work in France.

anneb Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 I think I must have misunderstood what the Cotorep was. I thought itwas a kind of general package of help for disabled people, includingsupported help to work for those disabled but still capable of work aswell help for those who cannot work at all. What kind of help is available for disabled people in France who cannot work at all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agenais Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 If you are fiscally resident in France, then you can apply for RMI revenue minimum d'insertion, similar to income support, if you are on low or no income, also CMU to cover the shortfall in medical charges. If you are disabled then it is likely that your medical charges will be covered 100%, for specific illness's.Obtaining a parking badge for the car is a long drawn out process of forms and medical reports, speaking from personal experience.

Teamedup Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Agenais, I really did not think that the RMI was something that went on 'for ever' and I did think that there was specific aid for handicapped people who were unable to work. So how does it all work then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agenais Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 No, the RMI is not indefinate, it is reviewed every three months and is dependent on income. A lot of the necessary forms regarding invalidity, pensions, supplementary pension payments etc. are available online, from the CPAM as I am sure you are aware. As for "how does it all work"........ far be it from little ol' me to answer that question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
