The Cabinet of Ministers has amended the Procedure for the mobilization of military personnel who care for or support sick or disabled people.
In particular, the government has revised the list of documents confirming the right to a deferment for persons who support or provide permanent care for relatives and friends. From now on, these two categories of people and the packages of documents confirming the fact of support or care are distinguished, the Cabinet of Ministers website reported on August 21.
In addition, conscripts who are caring for a sick wife/husband, child and/or their father/mother no longer need to indicate in the Application to the TCC SP information about the absence of other able-bodied family members, or submit documents confirming the impossibility of other family members providing care (the requirement was contained in paragraph 9 of Appendix 5). Such information is noted only by conscripts who are caring for their wife’s sick parents. The TCC SP will check it against the data of state registers (paragraph 581 of the Procedure).
Also, conscripts who have parents with disabilities of group I or II no longer need to establish the fact of care (the requirement was contained in paragraph 13. Appendix 5). After all, according to Ukrainian legislation, adult children who have disabled parents are obliged to support them and have the right to a deferment.
The mechanism for obtaining a certificate of establishment of permanent care has also been changed, and the procedure and period for its issuance have been regulated. In particular, now, in order to draw up a Certificate of Establishing the Fact of Carrying Out Permanent Care, a conscript no longer needs to go to the TCC and SP. The certificate can be obtained by submitting an application of any form to local government bodies (rural, settlement, city, district council in the city) and district state administrations. After submitting the application, the local government body must consider it within 10 calendar days (clause 581 of the Procedure).
Changes have also been made to the act on establishing the fact of permanent care.
In addition, the requirement to draw up an act of establishing the fact of care for persons already receiving an allowance or compensation for care has been removed from paragraph 61 of the Procedure. For them, it is sufficient to present the documents of the TCC and SP. Now, the Act of establishing the fact of permanent care does not establish the absence of other family members who can provide permanent care, and does not confirm the impossibility of their providing such care.
