However, there are situations where a person is unable to undergo the evaluation for reasons defined by the Cabinet of Ministers. Also, servicemen receive disability pensions for the entire duration of service. There is a temporary condition under which disability and pension are automatically extended until a certain date. Additionally, men aged 25 to 60 with II or III disability group have a specific period for undergoing examination. All other citizens with disabilities must undergo a re-examination by a certain date.
