JCPD Clarifies Disability Registration Rules | Jamaica News

The Jamaica Council for Persons with Disabilities can’t diagnose you — only licensed professionals can. If your condition isn’t officially certified, you won’t qualify for their registry, even if it seems obvious. The Disabilities Act requires a long-term impairment that limits social participation, and temporary issues like broken bones or unimpaired diabetes don’t count. If denied, you can appeal — and the law is being reviewed for improvements. Get registered through Ministry offices or online if you meet the criteria.
