DISCHARGE REPORT ON HEALTH

There is an opinion that getting into military service is easier than getting out of it. There is a grain of truth in this statement, as it is quite difficult to get an order for dismissal from military service, even in terms of health. It is clear that a serviceman, like any other person, can get sick. But not all illnesses provide for the possibility of dismissal from service.

The list of diseases that provide grounds for dismissal from military service due to health conditions is provided in the Order of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine "On approval of the Regulation on military medical examination in the Armed Forces of Ukraine" dated 14.08.2008 № 402.

The procedure for dismissal from military service due to health

Passage of Military Medical Commission. The only body authorized to establish the fact of the possibility of military service is the military medical commission. It is her conclusion that is the key document attached to the dismissal report. Even if a military serviceman is undergoing treatment after being injured or diagnosed with another disease without a report from the Medical Examiner's Office, such a person cannot be dismissed from service due to his health. If during the service the state of health worsened, then the serviceman must write a report about sending him for treatment and re-passing the Military Medical Commission. In the report, it is necessary to indicate exactly what health complaints the serviceman has.

Dismissal report

If there is a conclusion of the Military Medical Commission about the impossibility of continuing the service due to the health condition, the serviceman must submit a report on dismissal from service to his commander. It is worth noting that the report must be drawn up correctly and substantiated. The report should describe in detail the state of health that does not allow continuing military service. The conclusion of the Military Medical Commission must be attached to the report as an appendix. It is recommended to submit the report in two copies. One is given to the commander, and the other remains with the serviceman with a note of its receipt. This will make it possible to control the status of consideration of such a report. After receiving the report with all the necessary documents, the commander is obliged to review it and make a decision, which is drawn up in the form of an order.

Dismissal order

This is a key document that allows a serviceman to terminate his service. The order is issued on the basis of the serviceman's report and the conclusion of the Military Medical Commission.

In practice, there are cases that due to the incorrect submission of a report, a serviceman may be refused exemption from military service due to his health. In such cases, it is recommended not to neglect the help of specialists who know military law. This will help the serviceman to realize his right to be released from military service due to his health in the shortest possible time. After all, knowing your rights is a guarantee of their observance.
