have not undergone it since 2022 must undergo a re-examination.”, — write: unn.ua
DetailsFrom April 1 of this year, a new system for assessing daily functioning has started in Ukraine. Its purpose is to check the relevance of the established disability and decide whether a citizen needs further payments and support from the state.
Who needs to be examinedFirst of all, this applies to men aged 25 to 60 who have the second or third disability group and have not undergone a re-examination in 2022–2024. They must undergo a re-examination by November 1, 2025, otherwise they will not receive payments.
Other people with disabilities must undergo a re-examination by April 1, 2026. At the same time, this does not apply to:
- people whose disability was established later — already in 2025 — and the term of its review has not yet come;
- people with indefinite disability status;
- military personnel, civil defense personnel — separate approaches apply to them;
- people who are in the territories where hostilities are taking place, or temporarily occupied territories;
- patients with severe disorders of body functions (do not have a limb or any of the paired organs, do not hear or see, have cancer or mental illness).
What needs to be doneTo begin with, you need to get an electronic referral from a family doctor, therapist or specialized specialist. Next, a person can independently choose a hospital from the list of available ones. All decisions are recorded in the electronic system.
Let us remind youPensioners from temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and abroad, as well as displaced persons can receive payments in any bank or through “Ukrposhta”. To do this, you need to undergo identification and carry out transactions with a card.
