UDID
1. UDID is a card for availing all government benefits for benchmark disabilities. This single card can be used pan-India, similar to an Aadhar card, to avail of government benefits no matter in which state the person lives. 2. Application has to be made at www.swavlambancard.gov.in. 3. The application is self-explanatory, with details of Aadhar, disability, photo etc required. 4. Once the application is made, an enrolment number will be generated and a list of hospitals will be provided for further processing. 5. The applicant MUST visit any approved hospital next. Without this, the application will not be processed. Every approved hospital has a UDID card department. The applicant should go there and give his enrolment information. Hospital will process it and update the assessment. Hospital also has to give final approval to generate UDID certificate and card. Applicant is expected to receive both the certificate and the card within ONE MONTH. If the card has not come after one month, applicant can go to the hospital and pursue it. 6. Depending on the kind of disability, the validity of the card is either temporary or permanent. The cards with temporary validity will need to be renewed in due course of time. 7. The list of approved hospitals is given on the website http://www.swavlambancard.gov.in/findNearestMedicalAutority. (Please note the spelling is NOT Authority.) By entering the state and district, the approved hospitals along with their address and contact information will be shown. Not all approved hospitals will certify all disabilities. So, it’s important to contact the person concerned and verify that it is the right hospital for the particular disability of the patient. For eg. NIMHANS does NOT certify hearing disabilities, though it is able to assess it, since certification needs an ENT surgeon. 8. Specific details for SLD: a. In order to get the UDID, the assessment MUST be done by a medical BOARD at one of the approved hospitals using the NIMHANS approved test battery. b. At least one assessment MUST be done before the age of 14 since there no norms yet in India for ages above that. It is unclear whether a pre-14 assessment by a licensed clinical psychologist (in private practice) will be accepted by the medical board. c. Disability certificate and UDID can be applied on the basis of this assessment anytime afterwards, at one of the approved hospitals. d. With this certificate / UDID, several concessions can be applied for in exams, with reserved quotas in colleges and jobs. 9. Both disability certificate and UDID card are NECESSARY. The card contains just basic details while the certificate has many more details. 10. For BPL persons, the UDID is critical because they can avail benefits such as scholarships, pensions, reduced railway fare etc in addition to the reservations for jobs and college seats which are available to ALL persons with disabilities. 11.
