A new feature "Compensation for Construction" has been introduced in the Diia app as part of the "eRecovery" program.
The press service of "Diia" has reported this.
"If your home was destroyed due to hostilities, you have the opportunity to build a new one on your own land with state compensation under the "eRecovery" program," the announcement states.
This service is available to those who lost their private homes as a result of hostilities and have land where they can construct a new one. Construction is allowed on their own land in government-controlled areas without active hostilities.
To receive compensation:
1. Submit a compensation application through Diia or at the Administrative Services Center (ASC). After review, the compensation amount will be assigned and reflected in your Diia account.
2. Register the commencement of construction on the Diia portal or at the ASC.
3. After receiving the compensation, cancel the ownership rights to the destroyed property.
4. Submit a request for fund disbursement in the Diia app: Services → eRecovery → Compensation for Construction.
You will need to update your bank details and select the construction site according to the previously submitted construction commencement notice.
Compensation is provided in two installments of 50% each. The first payment must be spent on 90%, and this must be confirmed in Diia. It needs to be used within 18 months, while both payments must be utilized within 36 months from receiving the first one. Otherwise, the payment will be returned to the state.
Reminder:
Through Diia, you can submit an application to the Register of Damages for compensation for emotional distress due to the loss of a close family member.
Ukrainians affected by Russian aggression since February 24, 2022, can submit six additional categories of compensation claims to the international Register of Damages through Diia.
The Diia app has also added information from the Register of Damaged and Destroyed Property regarding the fact of housing destruction or submitted applications for eRecovery.
