The procedure for discharge from military service to care for a sick relative or a person with a disability requires strict compliance with legal regulations. It is governed by the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service" and several subordinate acts that define the grounds for discharge and the list of required documents.

A resignation report may be submitted when a service member is providing care to a close relative who, due to their health condition, is unable to take care of themselves and requires constant outside assistance. In such cases, proof of disability or a medical opinion confirming the need for care must be provided.

Documents confirming family ties, medical certificates, decisions of the Medical and Social Expert Commission (MSEC), or doctors' opinions must be attached to the report. It is also essential to indicate that no other family members are available to provide care. All documents must be prepared in accordance with legal requirements to avoid a refusal of discharge.

The grounds for dismissal are:

Availability of official documents confirming the relative’s disability or illness
Conclusion from the medical and social expert commission (MSEC)
Official medical certificate stating the need for constant care
Documents proving family relationship
Lack of other individuals capable of providing care

Procedure for submitting a report and required documents

To initiate the discharge procedure for caregiving, the service member must correctly draft the resignation report and submit a complete package of documents. The process involves several main steps:

Drafting a report in free form, stating the circumstances that are grounds for discharge.
Attaching copies of medical documents confirming the condition of the person in need of care.
Collecting certificates from the place of residence confirming cohabitation with the person in need of care.
Obtaining a conclusion from the MSEC or another medical authority on the need for external care.
Submitting all documents to the unit’s command for review and further approval.

Legal assistance during discharge due to caregiving

Legal support during the submission of the report significantly increases the chances of a positive outcome. Legal specialists help:

Assess the prospects of discharge based on submitted documents
Properly draft the report and supporting statements
Obtain additional medical certificates or opinions
Assist in interactions with the unit’s command
In case of refusal – prepare an appeal of the decision

The procedure for discharge due to caregiving requires strict compliance with legal requirements and the collection of necessary evidence. Seeking help from legal professionals ensures an individual approach, professional analysis, and support at all stages.

Conclusion

Discharge from military service due to caregiving is a legal mechanism that allows service members to lawfully terminate service for serious family reasons. The key conditions are valid supporting documents, correct report preparation, and adherence to procedure.

If the situation is complex or the command refuses, legal assistance significantly increases the chance of a successful outcome.
