Are “combat” payments given to the wounded?.
If a serviceman is undergoing treatment due to a wound (concussion, trauma, injury) related to the defense of the Motherland, then he must also be paid “combat” pay, in particular:.
During your stay in hospital (including abroad).
During leave for treatment in case of serious injury.
The basis for this payment is a certificate of the circumstances of the injury (wound, contusion, mutilation), the so-called Form 5. It must be provided at the military unit. And it should indicate that the injury is related to the defense of the Motherland. If there is no such wording in the certificate, then the money most likely will not be credited..

What to do if a military man is not provided with additional payments.
