Servicemen have the right to adequate material support, which includes clothing, equipment and other necessary items. However, under martial law, there are situations when the state is unable to provide all military personnel with the necessary uniforms or equipment. In such cases, Ukrainian legislation provides for the possibility of receiving monetary compensation.
Conditions for receiving compensation
Compensation for property not received is paid in case of non-issuance:
- Uniforms, including winter and summer sets.
- Personal protective equipment (helmets, bulletproof vests).
- Other property stipulated by the standards of provision (backpacks, shoes, etc.).
Legislation clearly defines the standards of clothing for each category of military personnel. If these standards are not met, the soldier has the right to claim compensation.
Stages of receiving compensation
The process of obtaining compensation for unrecovered tangible property requires compliance with established procedures and proper documentation. Careful preparation and precise execution of each step will help avoid delays or refusals. To do this, it is important to know the main stages of the procedure, which include interaction with the command and, if necessary, further appeal.
- Appeal to the unit commander. The first step is to submit a report to the unit commander. The report must include a list of the property that was not issued and the grounds for claiming compensation.
- Preparation of documents. The report should be accompanied by: property records; orders for the issuance of material support; other documents confirming the fact of non-issuance.
- Consideration of the report. The commander of the unit is obliged to consider your appeal within the established time limit.
- Payment of compensation. After the report is approved, you must be paid compensation in the amount corresponding to the value of the non-issued property.
- Appeal in case of rejection. If your application is rejected or left without consideration, the next step is to file an appeal or a lawsuit in court.
By following these steps, you will increase your chances of successfully receiving compensation. In case of difficulties or refusal, you should use the services of a lawyer who will help you resolve the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible.
What to do in case of refusal
Refusal to pay compensation can be a serious obstacle for a serviceman. However, knowing your rights and responding appropriately can help you defend your position even in such situations. The main thing is to act within the law and not delay the issue. If the command refuses to pay compensation property not received :
