Very high demands are placed on the health status of certain categories of citizens. At times, when the condition worsens, it is not possible to perform the usual work. The health status of military personnel may jeopardize their future service. The list of diseases is quite wide.
A report on dismissal from the Armed Forces is a document that replaces the application for dismissal received from civilian employees. It is important to draft this document correctly. If the reasons for dismissal do not seem compelling enough to the command, difficulties will arise.
Reasons for the procedure
The dismissal of military personnel serving under a contract is regulated by the Federal Law “On Military Duty and Military Service” dated March 28, 1998.
Article 51 of this law provides for the following grounds for dismissal:
- for health reasons, if the military medical commission declares him unfit for service;
- for health reasons - in connection with his recognition by the same commission as limited fit, for military personnel with the rank of up to and including chief petty officer or chief petty officer.
What diseases serve as grounds for termination of service?
Expert opinion
Grigoriev Pavel Kirillovich
Head of the department for conscription of citizens for military service of the Russian Federation
According to the above Resolution No. 565, each type of disease corresponds to a certain fitness category. We list possible diagnoses that impede service in the table.
Name of the disease | Suitability category |
Incurable infectious diseases | IN |
Functional disorders of a temporary nature due to infectious diseases | G |
Tuberculosis | V, D |
Leprosy | D |
HIV infection | D |
Syphilis | D, V, G |
Malignant and benign tumors | D, V, G |
Blood diseases | D, V, G |
Diseases of the endocrine system (depending on severity) | B-D |
Mental illness (depending on severity) | B-D |
Epilepsy | B-D |
Brain diseases | V, D |
The above list reflects only part of the possible deviations in health status; in this document it is much broader.
Impaired health is not always accompanied by complete exclusion from military service. In some cases, when group B is assigned, it may be temporary for a period of treatment followed by resumption of service in the army.
Conditions allowing for dismissal due to deterioration of a serviceman's health:
- Symptoms of the disease appear regularly;
- A medical specialist identifies a significant disorder of body functions;
- The presence of chronic diseases requiring regular treatment;
- A serviceman has been on sick leave for more than 4 months in a row.
A citizen serving in the army has the right to retire from the armed forces due to illness, provided that he is found to be of limited fitness, but is not required to do so.
Who can note negative changes in well-being?
Only a military medical commission can give an opinion on the state of health of a serviceman. The military medical commission is a body authorized to issue a document on health status and determine fitness for service. The result of the work of this commission is the assignment to a citizen of a category of fitness for military service.
Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 565 of July 4, 2013. she is entrusted with the responsibility of conducting a military medical examination, examination and examination of citizens.

Payments to those dismissed due to illness
There are the following types of payments and subsidies for military personnel in case of early termination of a contract and dismissal for health reasons:
- One-time allowance for continuous military service. Service up to 20 years is rewarded with a payment of 2 monthly salaries. When serving for more than 20 years, a subsidy is determined equal to 7 salaries.
- Salary accrued for time actually worked after the last payment. It consists of the official salary according to rank and accruals provided for in Part 10 of Article 2 of Federal Law 306.
- Compensation for unused working leave, if any. The commissionee has the right to refuse this type of compensation and exercise the right to take a well-deserved rest on account of the vacation.
- Payments for days of temporary incapacity for work on sick leave.

In addition, a monthly disability pension is awarded. It can vary from 2800 to 14000 rubles. If the disability arose as a result of chronic diseases and the disability is not confirmed, then a military man retiring for health reasons will be able to receive it only upon reaching a certain age or continuous period of service. For persons serving in the ranks of the RF Armed Forces, this age is 45 years or 20 years of service. It is allowed to accrue a military pension to a person who has reached 45 years of age and has a total of 25 years of service with 12.6 years of military service.

How to resign from military service under a contract?
To resign from the army, you need to do the following.
Get a medical report
Military personnel have the right to free medical examination and treatment. In the event of a deterioration in their health, injury or mutilation, or a diagnosis that prevents them from serving, they are sent to a military medical commission.
The commission, in accordance with the powers assigned to it, assesses the state of health and issues a conclusion. It is the basis for drawing up a report of dismissal.
Write a report and submit it to your superiors
A report on early dismissal for health reasons is submitted to the commander of the unit in which the serviceman serves. There is no statutory report form. It is written in any form. It states:
- addressee: full military rank, full name of the commander, number of the military unit;
- personal data of the applicant;
- the contents of the report include a request for dismissal for health reasons;
- list of attached documents (medical certificates, conclusion);
- signed and dated.
Talk to the commander
After receiving the report and medical report, the unit commander is obliged to conduct a conversation with the serviceman.
During its implementation, the following issues are considered:
- the period during which the serviceman will be transferred to the reserve;
- benefits that he can use after dismissal;
- the military commissariat is determined to which the person who has left military service will be sent;
- availability of housing and future place of residence;
- requests and wishes of a serviceman.
Based on the results of the conversation, a conversation sheet is drawn up, on which the person who conducted it and the serviceman put signatures.
- Attention! The interview is conducted within no more than three days from the date of receipt of the dismissal report and the conclusion of the military medical commission. The final stage of dismissal is: drawing up an order and removing the serviceman from the unit’s lists.
Wait for the order to be issued
The publication and execution of orders is regulated by the Order of the Ministry of Defense dated 04.04.17. No. 170, which contains instructions on record keeping in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. An order is the main administrative document of military administration, issued as sole command by the commander of a military unit, which officially states that you have been dismissed from military service. The order form is approved by the instructions for office work and contains the following details:
- name - Order of the commander of the military unit indicating the number;
- variety;
- date and serial number of the document;
- name of the order;
- main text;
- space for signature indicating the unit commander, his rank, full name.
Is drawn up on the basis of the following documents:
The military contract expires from the date the order is issued. The exclusion of a serviceman from the lists of personnel is carried out within a month from the date of receipt of the conclusion of the military medical commission.
Pick up your work book and other personnel documents
The termination of a military contract is recorded directly in the contract itself. It contains the reasons, grounds and date of its termination. The entry is sealed with the seal of the commander of the military unit.
The termination of the contract is also recorded in the work book indicating the terms of service. Next, all payments due to the military personnel are calculated.
We also invite you to read the following articles about dismissal for health reasons:
- How to document it and what payments are due?
- What are the special features for disabled people and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
How to write a report
At its core, a dismissal report has a similar meaning to an employee’s statement according to the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. However, in order to express the free will of military personnel, it is necessary to take into account the limitation of the military contract. When filling out the report, indicate the following list of points:
- information about the unit commander to whom the report is submitted;
- personal data of the serviceman, rank and military position, place of service (unit);
- the basis for filing a report on dismissal is health status, confirmed by the conclusion of the IHC or other medical documents;
- date of submission of the report and personal signature of the military man.
As a rule, the report already contains a reference to the IHC conclusion. However, the registered report will be reviewed by the certification commission, which has the right to order an additional or repeat health check.
As stated above, dismissal for health reasons is a preferential option for terminating a contract. The citizen is guaranteed almost all types of benefits that are provided for organizational activities. Therefore, the submitted report and the conclusion of the IHC experts will be the basis for the assignment of benefits and the calculation of mandatory payments.
When are compensations and benefits paid?
Upon dismissal, the serviceman is paid:
- monetary allowance until the day of his exclusion from the lists of unit personnel;
- one-time benefit;
- bonus;
- material aid.
Payments to a military personnel upon dismissal for health reasons are made within the nearest time period established for the payment of allowances. Those leaving the reserve are given a copy of the military contract, a work book, and a military ID.
The dismissal of a serviceman serving under a contract from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for health reasons is clearly regulated by the current rules and instructions. The law provides for the termination of a military contract on this basis. To be dismissed, it is necessary to obtain a conclusion from a military medical commission.

What should be paid to a military personnel upon dismissal?
Like other categories of workers or employees, military personnel are entitled to full payment . In any case, the resigning person is issued:
This is important to know: How is alternative service in the army under contract carried out?
- Salary for the last month of service;
- Compensation for unused vacation;
- Sick leave;
- Bonuses, allowances and other payments in accordance with the law.
If a serviceman has alimony obligations, then they are withheld.
In addition to standard payments, due to the specific nature of the activity, as well as the circumstances of dismissal, a serviceman may be entitled to additional monetary benefits . They may be related:
- With the occurrence of disability while in the army;
- With the number of years of service;
- With the title of resigning;
- With the status of a military personnel (pensioner, citizen of pre-retirement age, serving under a contract);
- With a lack of benefits during the period of service.
Conditional additional payments can be divided into:
- One-time: For less than 20 years of experience – double salary;

- Availability of awards - 1 additional salary;
- Appointed for a certain period, for example, if a dismissed person has reached pre-retirement age, payments are made to him until retirement (20 years of service or 25 years of total experience).
Care due to illness is not considered a negative reason and does not carry any negative consequences for a former military personnel.
Medical examination
No citizen can be allowed to perform military duties without undergoing a mandatory medical examination. A serviceman is assigned a fitness category depending on his state of health and the nature of the identified diseases. The actual medical report involves the assignment of groups from “A” to “D”, where “A” indicates the absolute absence of contraindications and further in descending order to “D”, suggesting complete unsuitability and impossibility of conducting military service.
The appropriate category can be established at all stages of the medical examination:
- during the initial examination at the time of conscription or conclusion of a military contract;
- in the order of local routine medical examination in a military unit in order to confirm the previous conclusion and timely detection of possible diseases;
- upon personal appeal from an employee motivated by a general deterioration in health or the manifestation of signs of disorder;
- in case of exacerbation of chronic illnesses, as well as in the presence of symptoms indicating an actively progressing disease;
- when receiving injuries resulting from external influences (burns, poisoning, bruises and fractures).
The main classifying feature when determining the fitness category is the severity of the developed disease. This will also determine subsequent actions of management, where a serviceman may be:
- transferred to a more suitable position taking into account current medical conditions;
- sent to hospital for treatment;
- dismissed on the grounds of unfitness for military service.
Only representatives of an independent military expert commission are authorized to carry out the examination. At the same time, both persons serving in the army by conscription and on the basis of a contract, as well as citizens studying at higher and professional military institutions, are subject to mandatory inspection.
The specifics of the examination involve not only addressing the physiological aspect, but also a clinical assessment of the mental state of the subject. In addition, the practice involves conducting a chemical-toxicological analysis to detect prohibited and psychotropic substances, as well as their derivatives, in the body.
Rights of military personnel who retired early
A contract terminated early due to deteriorating health is not a negative point for the exercise of civil rights of former military personnel.
Former military personnel have the rights to:
- priority consideration of their candidacy when hiring, if there is a vacant position;
- adding to the total length of service the period they served in the army;
- a guarantee of job preservation in the event of reorganization or downsizing of the organization in which he works;
- priority for places in preschool institutions, schools, summer camps;
- the right to rest and recovery in sanatoriums, depending on length of service and rank.
IMPORTANT! Military pensioners are not exempt from collecting alimony for minor children.
Leaving the armed forces for health reasons is a long process and requires careful preparation. It is not a discrediting factor for the further employment of a former military man. State support and provision of subsidies for retired soldiers and officers are aimed at painless adaptation to civilian life, implementation in civilian professions and obtaining a decent standard of living outside the army.
