Certificate of the circumstances of the injury
Injuries sustained during service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine entail not only treatment and rehabilitation, but also the need to draw up documents to receive appropriate government payments. One of the key documents in this process is a certificate of the circumstances of the injury, confirming its origin with the performance of combat missions. In practice, obtaining such a document is quite difficult, and therefore qualified assistance from a military lawyer of the “Prikhodko & Partners” Law Firm significantly increases the chances of quick and correct registration.
When is a certificate of injury circumstances issued?
In cases where a serviceman has been injured during military service/defense of the Motherland, a certificate of wounds, contusions or mutilations is issued. It is prepared by the head of the medical service on the basis of an order from the military unit command. To prepare the latter, supporting documentation is required:
- signed report of the commander
- combat report
- information in the combat log
- primary medical record
- other materials certifying the fact of injury.
If the commander has not provided such data, the military man must independently formulate an explanation and send a report with a request to issue the document.
Why do you need a certificate of the circumstances of the injury?
This document is the basis for confirming the causal relationship between the injury and military service. It is needed when:
- passing the MMC and receiving disability;
- calculation of one-time financial assistance;
- payment of additional compensation and entering information into the personal file.
The certificate contains information such as the circumstances of the injury, the condition of the serviceman at the time of the incident (in particular, the absence of alcohol or drug intoxication), as well as information about possible violations.
Important! If you cannot independently understand the preparation of documents on the circumstances of the injury, seek advice from a military lawyer who will explain all the nuances in detail and, if necessary, provide further support.
Report on obtaining a certificate of injury circumstances
Report on obtaining a certificate of injury circumstancesTo obtain a certificate of the circumstances of the injury, a serviceman submits a report to the commander of the military unit. It should state a request to issue an order to conduct an investigation and issue a certificate, indicate the date, time, place and circumstances of the injury.
The report must be accompanied by an explanation from the serviceman, and if available, an explanation from two or three witnesses, as well as copies of medical documents (discharge summary, conclusion of the MMC, etc.). There are several ways to submit a report:
- in person at the military unit headquarters with document registration;
- through the military registration and enlistment office/medical institution, if the serviceman is undergoing treatment or outside the unit;
- by mail – registered letter with a description and notification of delivery.
It is important to keep a copy of the report and confirmation of its submission. If the commander refuses to issue a certificate, it is necessary to demand a written refusal and, if necessary, appeal it to the headquarters of the operational command or the Military Law Enforcement Service.
The maximum period for issuing a certificate in cases where the injury was caused by the actions of armed aggression of the russian federation is up to five days. If the circumstances require additional clarification, an official investigation is conducted.
What to do if you are not provided with a certificate about the circumstances of the injury?
