Obtaining disability status

Obtaining disability status

Obtaining disability status, especially during wartime, is a difficult but important process, as this status provides access to all available benefits and social guarantees.

The process of obtaining disability status has its own legal nuances, especially in the context of legislative changes, when the MSEC system has already been reformed. Legal support ensures that every step, including preparing the application and submitting documents, complies with the law and contributes to the successful resolution of your case.

Obtaining Disability Status: Step-by-Step Procedure

Since 01.01.2025, the system has changed. The procedure is as follows:

  • Consultation and medical examination. Undergo all necessary examinations with specialists and complete the required medical tests.
  • Contact your family doctor or treating physician (for the primary medical condition): they are the ones who refer you for evaluation. For military personnel, the referral may also be issued by a Military Medical Commission (MMC). If the referral is issued by another doctor, a certificate from the MMC is mandatory.
  • The medical center receives the referral and documents, forms an expert team of doctors for your case, and schedules the date of the examination.
  • Examination by the expert team may take place in three formats: remote (document-based) without the patient’s presence; in-person examination; or via telemedicine using video communication. A formal extract of the expert team’s decision is issued, indicating the establishment of disability, its group, the date for reassessment, and rehabilitation recommendations.

In practice, this process may be more complicated and longer than described. To increase the chances of successfully obtaining disability status, it is advisable to consult a practicing medical lawyer. It is important to choose a specialist who has experience working with EKOPFO (MSEC) and understands all the practical nuances and requirements of these authorities in practice, not only on paper.

Legal Support in Obtaining Disability Status. How Do We Work?

  1. Detailed analysis of your case. A lawyer reviews your medical documents and, if necessary, consults with specialized doctors.
  2. Consultation and action plan. During the meeting (in the office or online), you will receive an assessment of your chances of obtaining disability status; a detailed action plan tailored to your specific situation; and explanations of all legal and medical aspects.
  3. Representation during the evaluation. A lawyer accompanies you during the evaluation to ensure the protection of your rights and interests.
  4. Actions in case of refusal. If you disagree with the conclusion of the expert team (commission), it may be challenged. In such cases, the lawyer analyzes the reasons for refusal, identifies possible violations, and prepares the appeal.
  5. Court representation (if necessary). The final instance where the decision of the MSEC can be challenged is the court. In this case, the lawyer prepares the claim and represents your interests in court.

8 out of 10 clients who received a consultation regarding obtaining disability status or appealing the conclusion of EKOPFO (MSEC) independently (without lawyer representation) successfully achieve their goals — obtain a disability group or arrange care.

We are based in Kyiv, but work with clients throughout Ukraine (and even abroad), since most issues can be successfully resolved remotely.

How can I get a disability group?

In order to understand whether you can receive a disability group, a lawyer studies your medical documents in detail, consults with specialist doctors, and then concludes whether you have grounds for registering a disability and which group.

If there are grounds, the lawyer gives comprehensive advice on what and how to do to maximize the chances of receiving a positive opinion of the medical board.

If necessary, the lawyer provides full support.
