Protection of Servicemember's Rights: Appealing the MMC Decision to the CMMC
During mobilization, the medical examination of servicemen must be as objective as possible. However, in practice, military medical commissions (MMC) do not always comply with legal requirements. This can lead to unlawful decisions that affect the lives of soldiers. Our center "KONSULTANT" specializes in legal support for cases involving appeals against MMC conclusions.
An example is the case of Armed Forces serviceman Vyacheslav, who, despite severe spinal injuries and titanium implants, was declared fit for duty. The MMC's decision did not reflect his actual health condition.
Violations During the MMC Examination
- Incomplete medical examination. The commission failed to consider all test results and medical documents.
- Ignoring diagnoses and injury consequences. Despite titanium implants, Vyacheslav was deemed fit.
- Violation of examination procedures. Legal requirements for the form and content of the examination were not followed.
Legal Actions to Appeal the MMC Decision
- Legal analysis of documents. The lawyer reviewed the MMC conclusion, test results, and legislation.
- Preparing the complaint to the CMMC. The document detailed the violations and requested a review.
- Monitoring the complaint procedure. The specialist ensured compliance with deadlines and documented each step.
- Arranging a repeat examination. After the complaint, the CMMC assigned a new commission to objectively assess the condition.
Result of Legal Support
Based on the re-examination, the Central MMC found Vyacheslav unfit for military service. This decision became grounds for his lawful discharge.
Thanks to qualified legal assistance, the client exercised his right to discharge in accordance with his actual health condition.
