1. Application for the payment of one-time cash assistance: The application must contain a request for assistance in connection with the establishment of disability or partial loss of working capacity without establishment of disability.
2. A certified copy of the certificate of inspection by the medical and social expert commission: This is a document confirming the established group of disability or the percentage of loss of working capacity with a mandatory indication of the causal relationship of disability or loss of working capacity.
3. Resolution of the military medical commission regarding the causal relationship of an injury or illness: This document contains information on the causal relationship of an injury or illness with the performance of military duties.
4.A document testifying to the causes and circumstances of an injury or illness.

6. A document certifying the registration of a natural person in the State Register of natural persons - taxpayers: This applies to cases when a person has a registration number of a taxpayer's registration card.
7. A court decision that has entered into legal force, if any: If there is a court decision regarding the appointment and payment of a one-time cash benefit, it must also be submitted.
Amount of assistance
A one-time cash benefit is assigned and paid to a military serviceman (except for conscripts) in the amount, depending on the group of disability and the first time the disability is established:
- in case of disability of the I group - 400 times the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons on January 1 of the calendar year;
- in case of disability of the II group - 300 times the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons on January 1 of the calendar year;
- in case of disability of the III group - 250 times the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons on January 1 of the calendar year.
These payments are awarded in the event that the disability arose as a result of injury, trauma or mutilation received during the performance of military service duties or for reasons connected with the performance of these duties, even after discharge from military service. Features
A military serviceman has the right to a one-time cash allowance regardless of other social payments or compensation provided by law.
In case of refusal to pay a one-time cash benefit, the serviceman has the right to appeal this decision in an administrative or judicial manner.
Support
It is important to contact military lawyers or attorneys for advice and assistance in drafting documents, especially in cases of complex or contentious situations. They can help in the preparation and submission of the application, as well as represent the interests of the serviceman if necessary.
In general, the procedure for obtaining one-time monetary assistance in case of injury is clearly regulated and aimed at supporting servicemen who were injured while performing official duties.
