járásképtelenség

Járásképtelenség is a term used in Hungarian law to describe a situation where a citizen is deemed unable to fulfill their civic duties or to care for themselves due to physical or mental incapacity. This concept is closely tied to the idea of " nem közönséges szenvedélybetegség", which refers to mental illness or disability that prevents an individual from leading a normal life.

In Hungary, járásképtelenség is typically determined by a court, following a petition from a family member, caregiver, or other interested party. The court will assess the individual's ability to perform daily tasks, manage their finances, and make decisions about their own life. If deemed unable, the individual may be granted a declaration of disability, which can provide access to certain benefits and services.

Individuals declared as járásképtelen may be eligible for financial support, housing assistance, and access to communal services. In some cases, a guardian or representative may be appointed to oversee the individual's affairs and make decisions on their behalf.

The term járásképtelenség is also associated with the concept of "mértékű hanyatlás", which refers to the degree of decline in a person's physical or mental abilities. This can influence the extent of support and services provided to the individual.

It is worth noting that the specifics of járásképtelenség can vary depending on the individual circumstances and local laws. The declaration of disability is typically valid for a limited period, and it may be reviewed and updated as the individual's condition changes.
