Subject of the dispute – challenging the refusal of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to grant a one-time monetary assistance due to a change in disability group from III to II. The court was guided by the following: 1) the restriction on assistance payment only within two years after the initial disability determination contradicts the Constitution of Ukraine; 2) courts did not establish the type of military service of the plaintiff, which is important for determining the right to assistance; 3) did not verify the availability of documents about the circumstances of the injury in accordance with legislative requirements. The Supreme Court overturned the decisions of the previous instances and referred the case for a new review to the court of first instance to establish all circumstances relevant to the correct resolution of the case.
