Study title

The project builds upon the work that was done in connection with the public report of the national insurance disability term (NOU 1977:14). This project has repeated surveys that were carried through in the period 1975-80 on the basis of the new view of alcoholism as equal with other illnesses. The report group gave an overview of the population on social security that built upon the national insurance register. Also, it was produced an overview of those who had their application for social security turned down and it was carried through a survey at three counties in the fourth quarter of 1975 in order to clarify how the percentage of granted applications vary between various diagnosis groups. As a fourth point in the rapport it was carried through a survey at 18 social security offices in order to get an overview of how many of the social welfare clients would be potential disability pensioners by changing or disbanding the medical conditions for right to disability pension.
