This circular has been slightly revised with regard to the definition of “relapse”, in order to suppress the 10-year time limit after consolidation with regard to worsening of the patient's state of health.

This circular cancels and replaces Administrative Circular No. 14 (Rev. 3) also entitled “Protection of members of the personnel against the financial consequences of illness, accident and incapacity for work” of January 2013. It will enter into force on 1 January 2020.
