Dismissal from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Armed Forces of Ukraine) due to disability

During martial law, service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is a duty for many citizens, but there are situations when a serviceman loses the ability to serve due to serious injuries, contusions or illnesses that have led to disability. In such cases, the law allows for dismissal on grounds of disability, but the process of issuing the dismissal itself is often complicated, accompanied by medical and legal difficulties, and requires the assistance of a specialist.
A lawyer helps not only with the registration of the dismissal, but also in restoring justice: correctly establishing the causal link, disability group, payments, benefits.

Legal stages of dismissal from the Armed Forces of Ukraine on grounds of disability

The process of dismissal from military service due to disability includes a number of legal and medical procedures:

Medical examination at the MMC (military medical commission): It all starts with a referral to the MMC, where specialists check the physical and mental condition of the serviceman. Based on the results of the examination, a conclusion is made about unfitness for service and the grounds for establishing disability.
Passing the MSEC (medical and social expert commission): If the MMC indicates the presence of an injury or illness that leads to a persistent limitation of vital activity, the serviceman is sent to the MSEC. It is she who assigns the disability group and determines its cause (injury, disease, contusion, etc.).
Drawing up a conclusion on unfitness for service: Based on the decisions of the MMC and MSEC, the unit command draws up official documents on unfitness for further service.
Issuing an order to discharge from military service: After receiving all documents, including medical reports, the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine issues an official order to discharge the serviceman on the grounds of disability.
Drawing up pension benefits and benefits: After discharge, a person with a disability has the right to be assigned a pension and social guarantees provided for disabled servicemen. This also requires separate legal support, especially if there is a need to appeal the amount of the pension or disability group in the future.
If necessary - a court appeal or restoration of rights: If the establishment of a group, connection of disability with service was refused, or an incorrect order was issued, the case can be transferred to court. It is especially important to have a professional representative here.

As you can see, the procedure is complex, multi-stage, and each document has legal force. Any mistake or delay can lead to a long wait or refusal. That is why the support of an experienced lawyer allows you to avoid such risks.

Conditions for providing legal assistance when dismissing from the Armed Forces of Ukraine due to disability

Usually, lawyers provide this service under certain conditions, which you should know about in advance:

he presence of medical grounds for establishing disability: The client already has diagnoses recorded in medical documents, or there are serious injuries, chronic diseases that worsen the general state of health and prevent the performance of service.
Willingness to provide personal documents and certificates: To assess the prospects of the case, the lawyer must have access to a military ID card, medical history, certificates from the unit, referrals to the MMC or MSEK. In some cases, the lawyer will help restore or obtain documents, but the minimum package must be.
Real service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine or being in the reserve: The service is provided to active military personnel who need assistance during service, or to persons undergoing treatment after demobilization, but have not yet issued disability documents.
Legal readiness of the client to cooperate: Legal support involves joint work: collecting information, responding to requests from the lawyer, granting powers to represent interests in commissions, military units, state bodies, etc.
Absence of intentional illegal actions on the part of the client: The service is not provided in cases of fictitious certificates, staging diagnoses or attempts at fraud - only if there are real grounds for establishing disability.
