Mobilization with the III group of disabilities
Mobilization in Ukraine affects broad categories of conscripts, but certain exceptions are provided for men with disabilities. According to Article 23 of the Law of Ukraine "On Mobilization Training and Mobilization", men with disabilities, including group III, have the right to deferment from conscription or even dismissal due to health conditions. However, the procedure for obtaining this deferral requires confirmation of the disability status, which may cause certain difficulties and requires proper legal support. Lawyers of the "Consultant" service help conscripts with disabilities to protect their rights by clarifying the legislation and assisting in the process of confirming the right to deferment.

Question

Question
How can the "Consultant" service help conscripts with disabilities of the III group during mobilization?
Respond
The lawyers of "Consultant" provide consultations, help in the collection and preparation of documents, represent the client's interests in military institutions and help protect the rights of persons with disabilities.
In Ukraine, persons with disabilities of groups I, II and III can apply for exemption or postponement of mobilization, as the law recognizes their health condition as a limitation for the performance of military duties. This issue is regulated by Article 23 of the Law of Ukraine "On Mobilization Training and Mobilization", which specifies that such persons are not subject to conscription, if their disability is confirmed in accordance with the established procedure. At the same time, men with disabilities of the III group must pass a military medical commission (MMC), which determines the degree of their unfitness for service. The "Consultant" service helps conscripts with disabilities protect their rights by providing legal support during mobilization.
Men with disabilities of the III group usually have the right to deferment from mobilization.
In order to confirm the right to a deferment, an opinion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of the Republic of Ukraine is required, confirming the limitations of military service.
Lawyers of the "Consultant" service provide consultations and help conscripts with disabilities obtain confirmation of the right to deferment.
Rights and obligations of conscripts with disabilities of the III group
According to the legislation of Ukraine, men with disabilities of the III group have the right to deferment from mobilization, which is confirmed by relevant documents. Article 23 of the Law of Ukraine "On Mobilization Training and Mobilization" specifies that persons with disabilities who are recognized as unfit for service can receive a deferment for 6-12 months or a complete exemption from conscription. Disability of the III group involves certain physical limitations that make it impossible or limit the ability to perform military duties.
In order to receive a deferment, persons with disabilities of the III group must undergo a medical examination by the military medical commission, which makes a decision on their ability to perform military service. This decision is based on the conclusions of the MSEK, which officially establishes disability, as well as on additional medical certificates and extracts.
Sometimes conscripts with disabilities of the III group may be mistakenly denied a deferment or drafted into the army despite existing medical restrictions. In such cases, the lawyers of the "Consultant" service help appeal the decision of the Military Committee and defend the client's rights.
Necessary documents for confirmation of disability of the III group and the procedure for their submission
To confirm disability of the III group, a conscript must provide the following documents:
- The conclusion of the MSEK is an official confirmation of the disability group.
Medical certificates and extracts from the medical history confirming limitations due to the state of health.
Application to the territorial picking center for a postponement due to health.
