Information about OGD in case of injury

Military personnel who have been injured in war, including contusions, receiving funds for injuries in war or mutilations that cause disability or partial incapacitation, are entitled to compensation for war injuries. These injuries must be directly related to the performance of military duties or illnesses that occurred during service. It is important that one-time cash assistance for injuries received by a serviceman during the war are officially recorded, which allows you to count on compensation. 

We would like to clarify what you need to know first of all, if there is a need for such an appeal.

Procedure for receiving compensation for war injuries

In order to receive compensation for injuries in the war, you must go through several stages:

1. Get a certificate about the circumstances of a military serviceman's injuries in war and pass a military medical commission (MMC), which will establish the connection between the injury and the performance of official duties.
2. Pass the medical and social expert commission (MSEK), which will determine disability or partial loss of working capacity as a result of an injury in the war.
3. Submit documents to receive a one-time financial aid through a military unit, a territorial recruitment and social support center, or independently to the Ministry of Defense. 

This is the main list of stages that are necessary.
