The procedure for discharge from military service due to health condition begins with undergoing a Military Medical Commission (VLC). Its conclusion determines whether a serviceman has legal grounds to terminate service during martial law.

According to lawyer Yuriy Aivazian, during martial law a serviceman may be discharged on the basis of a VLC decision. This applies to cases where the commission recognizes a person as unfit for military service or temporarily unfit with the need for a re-examination after 6–12 months.
Lawyers note that health problems are one of the main legal grounds for discharge from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This applies to servicemen who, due to injuries or illness, can no longer perform their duties.
An additional basis is the establishment of disability. In such a case, a serviceman has the right to initiate discharge at any time if they do not plan to continue service.
After receiving the supporting documents, the serviceman must submit a report to the commander of the unit and attach copies of medical conclusions.
In addition, a draft law has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada that proposes expanding the list of grounds for discharge from service, including for persons who had the right to deferment but did not use it, as well as in cases where a citizen’s conscription is recognized as unlawful.
