What you need to know before passing the VLK - legal support

What regulatory documents are essential for doctors during an examination? What specialists are involved in the examination of conscripts? Why is not the diagnosis itself more important, but how the disease affects fitness for duty? How can a conscript appeal the decision of the VLK? Are there any special features for servicemen during the VLK? What documents certify fitness or unfitness for military service in terms of health? In this article, we will talk about it in detail.

When it is necessary to undergo a medical examination

After receiving the summons, the conscript must appear at the territorial recruitment and social support center, provide all the necessary data and documents. If he has no reason to postpone the draft, he will be issued a summons to pass the VLK. Re-medical examination of reserve conscripts 1 (up to 35 years old) and 2 (up to 60 years old) ranks, who were previously recognized as fit or limited fit in peacetime, is carried out once every 5 years.

In wartime, a person undergoes a medical examination regardless of previous findings, as circumstances may have changed. If the person is temporarily unfit and undergoing treatment, a re-examination is scheduled after 2-6 months. If it is unfit for service, a re-examination is carried out after 6-12 months.

How does a medical examination take place?

Conscripts must undergo a series of medical examinations in hospitals before passing the VLC.

What must be done before inspecting the VLC:

• X-ray (fluorographic) examination of chest organs;
• general blood test and urine test;
• determination of blood group and Rh factor (for those who do not have a corresponding mark in the military ticket);
• ECG (electrocardiography).

For conscripts over 40 years of age, the following is additionally carried out:

• measurement of intraocular pressure;
• blood sugar test.

The legislation does not establish exact terms for these procedures or the medical commission itself. The summons indicates only the date and time of the appearance at the territorial picking center.

Before the inspection, the military commissariat receives information about conscripts from psychoneurological, anti-tuberculosis, skin-venereal dispensaries, narcological institutions. If a person is registered in such institutions, the military commissariat receives extracts from the medical history; for people with disabilities - data from social security agencies and medical documents from polyclinics or medical and sanitary units at the place of residence, work or study.

Conclusion of the VLK - is it suitable for service?

The conclusions of the VLC are divided into four categories:

• Category "A" means that the person is completely healthy and able to perform all tasks that can be assigned to a military serviceman.
• Category "B" indicates suitability for service with certain medical restrictions that affect the performance of certain tasks. For example, there may be restrictions on physical activity or the need for additional medical supervision.
• Category “B” indicates significant medical limitations that affect the ability to perform many tasks, such as limitations in movement or the presence of chronic diseases that require constant medical monitoring.
• Category "G" determines that a person is unfit for military service due to serious medical problems or chronic diseases.

Contesting the conclusions of the VLK - VLK as a possibility to postpone military service

In case of refusal to pass the VLK, citizens can apply to the military medical commission to re-check their state of health and the possibility of being drafted into military service. The military medical commission has the right to conduct a new health assessment of persons who have been refused VLK.

In addition, citizens who are entitled to a deferment from service due to the difficult conditions of war can apply to the military commissariat for a deferment. The deferment is granted for a certain period, which depends on the circumstances, but can be revoked in case of a threat to national security.

Court protection in case of appeal against the decision of the VLK

Court protection when challenging a decision of the Military Medical Commission (MMC) involves submitting a complaint or a lawsuit to the court to review the conclusions of the commission, if the person does not agree with their decision. As part of this process, it is important to collect all the necessary medical documents confirming the state of health, and to present well-founded arguments in your favor. The court will consider the case, verify the legality and reasonableness of the decision of the VLK, and may decide on a re-examination or other corrections that will ensure compliance with the rights of the conscript.
