Deferral from mobilization exempts persons subject to military service from passing a military medical commission (MMC). However, there are certain situations in which such persons may be sent for a medical examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The issue of whether conscripts can be sent to the MMC during the deferral period prompted one of the country’s residents to contact human rights activists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to lawyer Vladislav Derii, “persons who have a valid deferral from military service are not subject to being sent for a medical examination.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the expert noted that there are circumstances in which a citizen may be required to pass a commission, even if they have a deferral in place. This may apply to the following situations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a person concludes a contract for military service;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
if a conscript was previously recognized as limitedly fit but did not undergo a repeated medical examination to confirm his fitness; in the case when a person has the official status of a disabled person, he is also not sent to the VLK;
if the person himself wishes to undergo a medical examination.
It is worth recalling that all conscripts previously recognized as unfit for mobilization had the opportunity to undergo a repeat VLK examination until June 5 to confirm or change their status regarding fitness for military service. Those who did not do this may face fines ranging from 17 to 51 thousand hryvnias.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
