By the end of November 2024, the interdepartmental working group has formed a list of 1,695 officials, representatives of more than 30 state bodies, who will be checked for the validity of the decisions of medical and social expert commissions (MSEK) regarding the establishment of disability. This is part of the disability decision review process which will continue for the next two months.
According to government data, the largest share of officials whose cases are subject to review are employees of the tax service of Ukraine (32%), followed by employees of the prosecutor's office (26%) and the customs service (17%). The other 25% are officials from other state bodies. Such a sample shows that persons from various state structures are subject to a thorough examination to establish the fairness of the decisions of the MSEK, which determined the level of disability and their subsequent rights.
The review of the decisions of the SCEC will be based on the analysis of the validity of the established disability for each specific case. The interdepartmental working group, which was created by the Ministry of Health, has already started collecting additional data from representatives of law enforcement agencies, which will allow expanding the list of persons for further consideration. If unfounded decisions are discovered, such resolutions will be reviewed in accordance with the resolution of the CMU dated 03.12.2009 No. 1317.
The purpose of these inspections is not only to identify improperly made decisions, but also to increase confidence in the processes of determining disability, to ensure fairness in these matters for public servants. Inspections will continue for the next two months, and after their completion, a decision will be made on the correction or cancellation of previously established disabilities.
