The discharge of mobilised servicemen is a complex procedure that requires strict compliance with the law and proper preparation of documents. Knowing your rights and the grounds for dismissal will help you avoid bureaucratic problems and ensure a legal discharge.
Main grounds for dismissal from the MFU (Military Forces of Ukraine)
Mobilised servicemen and women have the right to be discharged from service in certain cases defined by law. This allows for individual circumstances to be taken into account, ensuring a balance between the needs of the army and the rights of the individual.
- Health condition. The Medical and Social Expert Commission (MSEC) may declare a serviceman unfit for further service. The reasons may include: serious illnesses or injuries sustained during service and chronic illnesses that make it impossible to perform official duties.
- Family circumstances. The law provides for the possibility of dismissal for family reasons, such as having three or more children, caring for disabled relatives, elderly people or people with disabilities of the first group, difficult life circumstances requiring constant presence at home.
- Reaching the age limit. If a serviceman has reached the age limit for military service, he is entitled to discharge.
- Voluntary discharge. In some cases, it is possible to be discharged on personal request, but it depends on the specific circumstances and the decision of the command.
- Command decision. The command may decide to discharge a serviceman under various conditions, including optimisation of the unit's composition.
Each of these grounds requires proper documentation, so it is important to carefully prepare the necessary materials to avoid delays or rejection. Engaging a lawyer can greatly simplify this process.
