New Compensation Program for Construction: Essential Information
A new section for construction payments has been introduced in the "Diia" mobile application as part of the "Recovery Program".
This was reported by the Diia press service.
"If your home was destroyed due to military actions, you can build a new one on your own land with state compensation under the "Recovery Program," the message states.
The service is available to those who have lost their private homes due to military actions and have land to build a new one. Construction is permitted only in areas without active military actions.
To receive compensation:
1. Submit a compensation application through the Diia app or at a public service center (PSC).
2. Register the start of construction works on the Diia portal or at the PSC.
3. After receiving the compensation, cancel the ownership of the destroyed property.
4. Apply for the payment through the Diia app: Services → Recovery Program → Construction Payments.
It is necessary to update bank details and select the object of construction according to the previously submitted notification.
The payment is made in two installments of 50%. The first installment must be spent at 90%, and this needs to be confirmed in the "Diia". It must be used within 18 months, and both installments within 36 months from the first payment. Otherwise, the funds will be returned to the state.
Reminder:
Through "Diia", one can also submit a claim for compensation for emotional distress due to the loss of a close family member.
Ukrainians who have suffered due to Russian aggression since February 24, 2022, can submit six new categories of claims to the international Register of Damages through "Diia".
The "Diia" app has also added a confirmation from the Register of Damaged and Destroyed Property regarding the fact of housing destruction or a submitted application for the recovery program.
