Registration of disability during wartime

The war in Ukraine touched the lives of millions of people, causing not only untold suffering, but also health problems for many. Registration of disability becomes an urgent need for them, because it is not only recognition of their condition, but also an opportunity to receive the necessary support and benefits.

Why register a disability? What advantages does it give?

Registration of disability provides a person with a number of guarantees and benefits that make life easier in difficult conditions:

• Social benefits: disability pension, care allowance, other types of assistance.
• Free or subsidized medical care: free medicines, treatment, rehabilitation measures.
  Transport benefits: free travel in public transport, discounted purchase of tickets for other types of transport.
• Special programs and services: access to sanatorium-resort treatment, prosthetics, professional rehabilitation, psychological support and other specialized programs that contribute to improving the quality of life of people with disabilities.
• Protection of rights and interests: the state guarantees people with disabilities equal access to education, work, participation in public life, as well as protection from discrimination and violation of their rights.
• Other benefits: discounts on utility services, tax benefits, the possibility of employment on preferential terms.

It is important to understand that disability is not a sentence, but an opportunity to get the necessary support and live a full life.

Peculiarities of passing the medical and social expert commission (MSEK) under martial law

In the conditions of martial law, the process of passing the MSEK has some features:

Consult a lawyer

• The possibility of taking the MSEK in absentia: if you cannot appear in person at the commission, you can take it in absentia by submitting the necessary documents.
• Taking the MSEK not at the place of registration: you can take the MSEK anywhere in Ukraine, regardless of your place of registration.
• Involvement of specialists from other institutions in the composition of the MSEC: specialists from other medical institutions can be included in the composition of the MSEC, if it is necessary to make an objective decision.

Despite these features, the procedure for passing the MSEK remains the same as in peacetime. You will still need to undergo an examination by doctors, provide the necessary documents and answer the questions of the commission members.

The main mistakes that people make when registering a disability

The most common mistakes that people make when registering a disability:

• Lack of a complete package of documents: before taking the MSEK, make sure that you have all the necessary documents.
• Inadequate preparation for MSEK: do not ignore doctors’ advice and do not forget to take all medical documents with you.
• Lack of legal support: Self-registration of disability can be a difficult process. Contact a lawyer who will help you collect documents correctly, prepare for the MSEK and protect your rights.

Legal support is an opportunity to obtain status quickly and without problems

Applying for disability, especially under martial law, can be a difficult and exhausting process. Independent collection of documents, preparation for MSEK and protection of one’s rights may seem like an impossible task. That is why legal support becomes a key factor on the way to obtaining the status of a disabled person.
