These CCC requirements are illegal abuses

According to the information of the Ground Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, territorial recruitment and social support centers (TCS) do not have the right to require conscripts to undergo an annual military medical examination to confirm the right to a deferral.

People’s Deputy Oleksiy Honcharenko made the statement based on an official response from the military command. He emphasized that the practices where the TCS insists on annual medical examinations are unlawful.

The response states the key points:

If a person is recognized as fit for service without restrictions, then repeated medical examinations are not mandatory.

The conclusion of the medical commission remains valid and does not automatically become invalid.
Refusal to grant a deferral due to an “old” conclusion is illegal.

The law does not provide for any liability for failure to submit a repeated VLK.
A repeated medical examination may be appointed only for persons who have been recognized as limitedly fit or temporarily unfit.
Oleksiy Goncharenko emphasized: “The demands of the CCC for a new medical examination every year are an abuse. The law does not require this.”

Thus, citizens with a valid VLK conclusion may avoid repeated examinations, provided their health has not changed or there are no special recommendations from the previous commission.
