Disability status and MSEK: what will happen to the deferment and benefits, who must undergo a review
Recently, fakes have been spreading that from January 1, 2025, people with disabilities will be mobilized due to the liquidation of MSEK and the alleged automatic cancellation of disability status.
The Ministry of Health of Ukraine provided official information:
▪ All people with a disability status, will continue to receive benefits, services, assistance and postponement of mobilizationon the basis of the conclusion of the MSEK during its term of validity.
▪ Information that all men with disabilities aged 25-60 must undergo a review to establish disability, does not correspond to reality.
▪ This category of people will undergo a re-examination only if they were to undergo it during the years 2022-2024but could not for good reasons and in accordance with the exceptions in the legislation during martial law.
Both the MSEK and the expert teams of medical practitioners, which will replace them from January 1, 2025, establish or cancel disability solely on the basis of the grounds and criteria defined in the legislation.
Disability status will continue guarantees postponement of mobilization, access to benefits, social guarantees and assistance.
Instead of MSEK, they will work from January 1, 2025 expert teams of doctors. They will evaluate a person’s daily functioning transparently and according to clear criteria.

Who and when actually needs to be re-examined in the new assessment system
Information about passing repeated examinations:
1) everyone who has limitations in daily functioning, i.e. legal grounds for the status of disability, will be evaluated by an expert team of medical practitioners within the prescribed period;
2) if the disability is established indefinitely, it is not necessary to pass the assessment, only at your own request: all benefits, guarantees and payments remain in force;
3) if a person had to undergo a re-examination during the years 2022−2024, but was unable to undergo it for valid reasons and in accordance with the exceptions provided for in the legislation during the martial law, then it will be necessary to undergo it:
▪ men 25−60 years old with 2 or 3 disability groups – until November 1, 2025;
▪ to all other patients (except for the cases listed below) — until April 1, 2026.
Exceptions are the impossibility of re-examination for the following reasons:
▪ people are in the territories where hostilities are taking place or in the temporarily occupied territories;
▪ patients with severe disorders of body functions (do not have a limb or any of the paired organs, cannot hear or see, have an oncological or mental illness);
▪ active servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations — for them, the disability status remains valid for the period of military service and within 60 days from the date of discharge from service.
