• monetary assistance for rehabilitation for the relevant year;
• material assistance for solving social and household issues to servicemen who were injured in the defense of the Motherland.

If a soldier is continuously receiving treatment for more than four months (but not more than 12), financial support is paid based on the conclusion (resolution) of the military medical commission on the continuation of long-term treatment.

In addition, financial support is paid to wounded servicemen who are recognized by the VLK as limitedly fit for military service or unfit for military service with a review after 6-12 months and placed under the command of the relevant commanders, within two months from the date of placing them in the command (excluding the time spent on vacation and treatment) (without taking into account additional remuneration) for the last position held in full.
