For which destroyed housing will not be able to receive compensation
To receive compensation, you cannot choose a property located on:
- temporarily occupied territory;

How long will the application be considered
An application for compensation is submitted to the relevant commission. This can be done electronically or on paper.

“The decision to provide / refuse to provide compensation for the destroyed real estate object is subject to approval by the decision of the executive body of the council, the military administration of the settlement or the military-civilian administration within 5 calendar days from the date of the decision by the commission,” the lawyers explained.
