Protection of Serviceman's Rights: Appealing the MLC Decision to the CMLC
During mobilization, medical examinations of servicemen must be as objective as possible. However, in practice, military medical commissions (MLC) do not always comply with legal requirements. This can lead to unlawful decisions affecting the lives of military personnel. I specialize in legal support in cases related to appeals of MLC findings.
An example is the case of an Armed Forces serviceman who, despite severe spinal injuries and titanium implants, was declared fit for service. The MLC decision did not reflect his actual health condition.
Violations During the MLC Examination
- Incomplete medical examination. The commission did not consider all test results and available medical records.
- Ignoring diagnoses and consequences of injuries. Despite titanium implants, Vyacheslav was declared fit.
- Violation of the examination procedure. Legal requirements regarding the form and content of the examination were not followed.
Legal Actions to Appeal the MLC Decision
- Legal analysis of documents. The lawyer reviewed the MLC conclusion, test results, and legislation.
- Preparation of a complaint to the CMLC. The document detailed the violations and requests for a review.
- Control over the complaint review process. The specialist ensured deadlines were met and each stage recorded.
- Organization of a repeat examination. Following the complaint, the CMLC assigned a new commission that objectively evaluated the health condition.
Result of Legal Support
Based on the repeat examination, the Central MLC found the client unfit for military service. This decision became grounds for his lawful discharge.
Thanks to qualified legal assistance, the client exercised his right to discharge from military service in accordance with his actual health condition.
