If you don't agree with the decision, you can:

• conciliation: a professional explains the decision to the applicant.

You have 2 months after receiving the answer to make a request for conciliation. You must send a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt of the request for conciliation to the MDPH.

The conciliator organizes a meeting to explain the decision. After that, if you still don't agree with the decision, you have the option of filing an administrative appeal.

• an administrative appeal: the MDPH re-examines the request.

You must send a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the President of the Commission for the Rights and Autonomy of Persons with Disabilities (CDAPH) 2 months maximum after receiving the answer. The CDAPH then has 2 months to respond to you. In the event of no response from the administration, the contested decision is maintained.

• a contentious appeal: the administrative or judicial court judges the request.

After the administrative appeal, if you do not agree with the decision of the CDAPH, you can make a contentious appeal within 2 months.

You must send a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the competent court (the court responsible for your claim) and send the document with the contested decision.

The responsible court is different depending on the help you seek:

- Administrative tribunal: RQTH, vocational guidance, CMI parking.

- Court of Justice: priority CMI, disability CMI, AAH and CPR, AEEH and its supplements, ACTP/ACFP, old-age insurance for stay-at-home parents, PCH, measures relating to the education of disabled pupils, orientation in establishments and medical services. social.
