Mobilization in Ukraine - when people with disabilities are called up.

In times of war and general mobilization, people with disabilities are usually not called up, but there are exceptions. This information was published by 24 Channel.

Conditions for mobilization for people with disabilities

According to current legislation, individuals with first, second, or third group disabilities have the right to deferment from military service and may travel abroad. To obtain such benefits, it is necessary to timely process the deferment at the military commissariat or at 'Reserve+'.

Reasons for which a person with disabilities may be called up:

• absence of deferment from military service;
• lack of confirmation of disability at the medical examination;
• signing a contract for service at one's own request.

A new instruction on the transfer of fighters to another place of service has also been published on the 'Army+' website. Our portal also contains information about the rules for a repeated medical examination for people with disabilities.
