In Ukraine, the timelines for undergoing the Military Medical Commission (VLC) are regulated by legislation that defines the frequency of medical examinations for conscripts, including during mobilization, as reported by Politeka.net.
According to lawyer Yuri Aivazyan on the "Yuristy.UA" portal, in peacetime, citizens are required to undergo the VLC once every five years. However, in the event of martial law and general mobilization, this period is shortened to one year. Therefore, during wartime, every conscript must undergo the VLC annually to remain registered.
Who is exempt from undergoing the VLC during mobilization in Ukraine
According to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Resolution No. 560, citizens who have obtained a deferment from mobilization are not sent for the VLC until the deferment expires. This means that even if a conscript's time to undergo the commission has arrived, they may be exempt from this obligation if they have a valid deferment from mobilization, as reported by Politeka.
Thus, it is crucial for citizens who have received a deferment from mobilization to be aware of their rights and not worry about the need to undergo the VLC until the deferment period ends. This will help avoid unnecessary hassle and problems with the territorial recruitment center.
The lawyer emphasizes that this rule applies to all categories of conscripts who have received a deferment.
