The Reserve+ application for military conscripts has launched the opportunity to obtain an online deferment for parents of children with disabilities.
«The system automatically checks information in state registers, and the user receives the result on their smartphone,» the Ministry of Defense said about the innovation .
The ministry clarified that the service can be received by:
biological parents of a child with a disability under the age of 18;
biological parents of an adult child with a disability (group I or II).
«If both parents are subject to military service, each of them can separately submit a request for deferment to Reserve+,» the department clarified.
At the same time, the main condition for obtaining a deferral through the application at the Ministry of Defense was the availability of information about the established disability in the information systems of the Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity.
The Ministry of Defense explains that if it was not possible to obtain a deferral, this is a consequence of the fact that state registers contain missing or incomplete data about the child or his or her disability.
«You can update your data online — in the Electronic Cabinet of a person with a disability. If the child is not yet registered in the system, you must first register it. You can also update your data in institutions. The rejection message in the application will tell you where to contact — the nearest administrative services center, the social protection authority at the place of residence, or the Pension Fund of Ukraine,» the ministry provided information.
