Compensation to the families of the fallen soldiers 

At a time when Ukrainian servicemen are heroically defending the country, the state has undertaken to support the families of the fallen defenders. One of these forms of support is monetary compensation for death in war, the amount of which is 15 million hryvnias. This assistance is part of the social protection measures provided for by the current legislation of Ukraine. In this article, we will consider who has the right to receive this compensation and what requirements are established for its calculation.

Question

Who can receive a payment in the event of the death of a serviceman?

Respond

One-time monetary compensation in the amount of 15 million hryvnias is provided to the families of fallen soldiers who lost their lives while performing military duties.

Compensation for those killed in war in Ukraine amounts to a one-time payment of 15 million hryvnias, provided to the families of servicemen who lost their lives in the line of duty. According to the legislation, in particular the Law of Ukraine "On Social and Legal Protection of Servicemen and Members of Their Families" and Resolution No. 168 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated February 28, 2022, this compensation to the families of fallen soldiers is provided not only for material support but also to ensure that the family of the deceased has a stable financial future. Receiving payment for a dead soldier is confirmation that the state recognizes and honors the sacrifice of those who gave their lives defending the Motherland.

Compensation to the families of fallen defenders of Ukraine has clearly defined conditions of provision, including confirmation of the circumstances of death while performing military duties. 

Payments to the families of fallen soldiers depend on the availability of documents confirming kinship or other legal basis for receiving the payment. 

Compensation for a killed serviceman can be distributed among several heirs in accordance with the law or in the presence of a personal order of the serviceman.

 

In accordance with Article 16-1 of the Law of Ukraine "On Social and Legal Protection of Servicemen and Their Family Members," the following categories of family members have the right to receive financial assistance in the event of the death of a serviceman:

  1. Children of a serviceman, including those adopted, born after his death, or those for whom the deceased had parental rights.
  2. Widow (widower) of a deceased serviceman, who can also count on receiving assistance provided there was an official marriage.
  3. Parents of servicemen who were not deprived of parental rights or had their rights restored.
  4. Grandchildren of a soldier, if their parents were also deceased at the time of his death.
  5. Persons who lived together with the serviceman in the same family at the time of death and were not in other marital relationships. This fact must be confirmed by a court decision.
  6. Dependents of a military serviceman, as defined by the Law of Ukraine "On Pension Provision of Persons Released from Military Service and Certain Other Persons."

Compensation for those killed in the military is provided on the condition that the deceased defender of Ukraine gave their life in the course of hostilities or while performing duties in a military operation zone. The size of this payment is fixed at 15 million hryvnias.

Required Documents to Receive Compensation

To receive compensation for a killed serviceman, the following documents must be submitted:

  • Application from the person claiming payment.
  • Death certificate of the serviceman or another document confirming his death in the line of duty.
  • Documents confirming kinship or other legal relationship with the deceased.
  • Documents confirming incapacity (for family members who are incapacitated).

In addition, the presence of a personal order from the deceased can significantly affect the order of payment and distribution of compensation among the heirs.

Procedure for Receiving and Distributing Compensation

If there is a personal order of the deceased serviceman, the payment is distributed in accordance with the instructions specified in the document. In the absence of such an order, the compensation shall be divided equally among those entitled to receive the benefits.

A personal order is a document where a serviceman can specify specific persons to whom compensation will be paid and determine the share for each of them. This allows for an accurate distribution of the amount and helps avoid misunderstandings between heirs. If there is no personal disposition or if it does not mention all possible heirs, the compensation is divided equally.

Compensation for death in war is granted regardless of the circumstances if a military member is killed in the line of duty. The amount of payments to the families of fallen soldiers remains fixed but depends on personal disposition if it exists.

Special Conditions for Receiving Compensation

The legislation also provides that minors, minors, adult disabled children, a disabled widow (or widower), and disabled parents of the deceased are entitled to 50% of the due share of compensation, even if there is a different order by the serviceman. This rule ensures that the most vulnerable family members receive support regardless of other conditions.

Compensation for a person killed in war, provided in the amount of 15 million hryvnias, is a clearly regulated procedure that ensures fair distribution among family members of a fallen serviceman. Payments to the families of the fallen soldiers  are made in case of submission of relevant documents and completion of the review procedure.

Legal Assistance from the "Consultant" Service

The process of issuing compensation for a deceased serviceman requires knowledge of specific legal norms because any mistake or incomplete package of documents can delay payment or lead to a denial of compensation. The "Consultant" service offers qualified assistance that makes it easier for families to receive the proper benefits.

The lawyers of the service will help to collect all the necessary documents, issue applications, and ensure the representation of clients' interests in the relevant state institutions. In particular, the services offered by the "Consultant" include:

  • Support in matters of payments for the families of fallen defenders of Ukraine, particularly assistance in confirming the right to receive payments.

With the professional support of lawyers, families of fallen soldiers can avoid complex legal procedures and concentrate on other important matters. 

Compensation for those who died in war in Ukraine is a one-time payment of 15 million hryvnias, granted to the families of servicemen who sacrificed their lives while fulfilling military duties. Dead military in war are honored in Ukraine through various forms of support, including compensation to their families, recognizing their sacrifice for the nation.

Conclusion

Compensation for the death of a serviceman in the war is not only financial support but also confirmation of the state's responsibility towards those who lost their loved ones in the fight for Ukraine. The payment of 15 million hryvnias helps provide the family of the deceased with a stable financial future and ease the burden of loss. The legislation of Ukraine clearly defines the categories of persons who are entitled to this payment and establishes the distribution mechanisms and conditions of receipt. Through the efforts of the government, the families of soldiers who died in the war receive adequate social protection, reflecting high respect and gratitude at the state level.
