Perito Médico Federal (INSS MPS) Practice Questions - Concurso Perito Médico Federal - Perícia Médica Previdenciária (INSS MPS) Exam

Incapacidade laborativa is the functional impossibility of performing the specific duties of a given occupation due to morphological or functional changes caused by disease or injury, whereas a disease or lesion is an anatomical or clinical entity that may exist without necessarily preventing work performance. Incapacidade laborativa and disease are legally synonymous; any diagnosed clinical pathology listed in the ICD-10 automatically creates a legal presumption of total and permanent work disability. Incapacidade laborativa is defined solely by subjective pain complaints reported by the insured worker, regardless of clinical findings or physical task demands. An anatomical lesion automatically establishes permanent disability, while medical diseases only generate temporary administrative leave without pericial evaluation.
