Receiving payments to military personnel for disability
Disability of military personnel is a mass phenomenon, which is caused by injuries and wounds received during hostilities related to the defense of the Motherland. At the same time, the state, for its part, has provided a number of significant social guarantees so that military personnel who have received a disability have financial support, which will contribute to at least partial recovery.
If you are looking for legal experts who specialize in military law and can really effectively help in the issue of receiving disability benefits, you have come to the right place. For the lawyers of the law firm “Prikhodko & Partners”, the field of military law is one of the key areas of practice.
What is worth knowing about legislative regulation?
Regarding the procedure for assigning and paying benefits to servicemen who became disabled while defending the Motherland, it was approved by Government Resolution № 975 of December 25, 2013. First, let’s look at where to submit documents to receive the payment. So:
- active servicemen submit documents to the military unit in which they serve;
- discharged servicemen submit a package of documents to the regional CCC and SP at their place of residence or registration.
The amount of the payment will depend not only on the disability group, but also on the circumstances of the injury, contusion or mutilation. If a serviceman received a disability during service, the amount of the payment will be as follows:
- 400 times the subsistence minimum established for able-bodied persons as of January 1 of the relevant year, if it is Group I;
- 300 times the subsistence minimum, if it is Group II;
- 250 times the subsistence minimum for Group III.
If it concerns a serviceman discharged from military service, whose disability is service-related and established no later than 3 months after discharge, the payments will be as follows:
- 120 times the subsistence minimum for group I;
- 90 times the subsistence minimum for group II;
- 70 times the subsistence minimum for group III.
Also, an identical amount of payment is established for those military personnel whose disability was established later than 3 months after discharge, but its causal connection with the circumstances of service has been proven. All of the above does not apply to conscription.
If we are talking about a conscript, reservist, or conscript who has been called up for relevant training or to serve in the reserve, then the following amounts of payments are provided for such categories in the event of disability during service:
- 322,080 hryvnias for disability group I;
- 241,560 hryvnias for disability group II;
- 187,880 hryvnias for disability group III.
If you are interested in a more detailed analysis based on current legal norms regarding the amount of disability benefits in your particular case, you should contact the specialists of our law firm – and we will advise you, having previously carefully examined the circumstances of your situation and determined its prospects. Our lawyers already have successful cases of receiving benefits for military personnel.
Is it possible to receive a payment if disability has not been established?
Is it possible to receive a payment if disability has not been established?There are cases when a serviceman has suffered an injury or wound that has led to partial loss of working capacity, but this is not a basis for establishing disability. In such situations, the state has also provided a number of guarantees aimed at helping a person recover. So, when it comes to military personnel who have suffered an injury, mutilation or contusion during service, they are provided with compensation in the amount of 187,880 hryvnias. If they are conscripts or reservists, the amount will be 134,500 hryvnias.
Can they refuse to pay?
Yes, the answer to this question is yes. A serviceman may be denied payment if the injury, disability, or partial loss of ability to work is causally related to the following factors:
- committing a military crime or administrative offense;
- committing actions while intoxicated (alcoholic, narcotic or toxic);
- intentionally causing bodily harm to oneself or other harm to one’s own health;
- suicide (except in cases where the court has established the fact of inducing a person to commit suicide);
- knowingly providing false information by a person for the purpose of assigning and paying a lump sum benefit.
This list of reasons for refusal is exhaustive. So if you encounter other artificially created complications, without having any reason for refusal from this list, you should seek competent support from a military lawyer who will support your case.
