Any application for renewal of recognition of the status of disabled worker, submitted to the departmental disabled persons’ centre, extends the effects of the recognition of this status issued in respect of the previous decision by the Commission for the Rights and Independence of Disabled Persons until a new decision is taken on its renewal before expiry of the period mentioned inarticle R. 241-33 of the Code de l’Action Sociale et des Familles (Social Action and Family Code), provided that it is submitted before the current entitlement expires by any means that confirms receipt of the application. The benefit of this extension is retained regardless of the status of the application being processed.
