The Lviv District Administrative Court annulled the decision of the local Military Medical Commission regarding the fitness for military service of a conscript with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. The medical professionals were ordered to conduct a new medical examination, taking into account the man's diagnosis.
According to the ruling, which was published in the court register in January 2025, a conscript from the Lviv region, who has suffered from chronic musculoskeletal disorders since 2012, appealed to the court. Since the onset of the full-scale war, the man had undergone multiple evaluations by the Military Medical Commission, which initially deemed him unfit, then later conditionally fit for service. However, in July 2023, the local Military Medical Commission disregarded his diagnosis and declared him fit for military service. Additionally, his temporary military ID was revoked, indicating that he had been assigned to the reserve due to health reasons.
This case was reviewed by Judge Natalia Hren, who examined all the materials and arguments presented.
“The defendant unlawfully disregarded the documents concerning the plaintiff's medical history, thus making an unlawful decision regarding fitness for military service,” the court ruling stated.
The judge annulled the Military Medical Commission's decision regarding the plaintiff's fitness for service and mandated a new medical examination, considering the court's findings. The court's decision can still be appealed.
