Is it possible to issue a disability certificate if you have moved abroad?

Good day.

YES, maybe.

During martial law, if Ukrainians are abroad, disability assessment or medical and social examination is carried out in absentia and extraterritorially.

If you are abroad and need a medical and social examination, then you need to send the necessary medical documents to your family doctor or treating doctor in Ukraine, who will draw up form 088/o "Referral to MSEK" for you.

All submitted documents must be written in Ukrainian. After that, your package of documents will be reviewed by the medical and advisory commission, which will make a decision to refer you to the medical and social expert commission for examination and establishment of disability.

If you are unable to attend the examination, the MSEK can make a decision to establish disability in absentia on the basis of a referral from the LCC of the health care institution. The examination is carried out at the direction of the LKK, regardless of your place of registration, residence or stay.
