Protection of the rights of military personnel

Military law requests are among the most popular during martial law. This is not surprising, because the legislation is constantly changing, adapting to the requirements of new realities. And another important factor that actualizes consultations with professional lawyers is the fact that there is enough unreliable information on the Internet, which only confuses and does not provide answers to questions. Therefore, turning to professional lawyers will be an appropriate step to support yourself and defend your rights.

The Prikhodko&Partners law firm team regularly works with such requests. So, by contacting us, you can get quality help that will contribute to solving even difficult situations. We offer to consider a range of the most relevant topics.

Postponement of mobilization

The recent Law № 9342 amended the current legislation on mobilization. Now it will not be possible to get a deferment for caring for a relative with a disability, if there are other able-bodied persons who are entrusted with the duty to care for such a relative. This regulatory act was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on June 28, and signed by the President on June 30. While it is difficult to analyze how the implementation of the mentioned legal norm will take place in practice, we will carefully monitor this process.

There are also many other situations when a person has the right to deferment from mobilization or can be legally dismissed from the ranks of the Armed Forces. However, in practice, people often encounter bureaucracy and the human factor, see abuse of themselves by representatives of the Military Committees and other officials, and therefore need legal support.

Referral to the Military Medical Commission, appeal against the decision of the Military Medical Commission

Perceptible deterioration of health may be the reason for the military to be admitted to the Military Medical Commission for further determination of the degree of fitness for service. In this case, you need to write a report in the name of the superior commander. Sometimes the Military Medical Commission is sent after an injury, and the result recorded by the commission does not correspond to reality. For example, situations often occurred when a serviceman who needed further treatment was deemed fit to return to service. In such a case, there is a procedure for appealing the decision of the Military Medical Commission. This can be done both before the court and through the court. Our team is well versed in both of these mechanisms.

Payment for injury and disability

It's no secret that performing a duty involving a high risk to life and health can lead to injuries, including disability. Therefore, the state has provided sufficiently large one-time payments, which give the serviceman the opportunity to improve his health at least to some extent. In practice, it often happens that a person encounters obstacles that prevent him from receiving a payment. There is a need to prove for a long time the connection of acquired health problems with the performance of combat duties. This creates additional stress and delays the case.
