Some pensioners will see an increase in their payments: who will be affected

Ukrainian pensioners can expect an increase in their pensions for various reasons, including special allowances and supplements. In January, a specific category of pensioners will receive a special supplement.

This is mentioned in the data from the Pension Fund of Ukraine. It is noted that this is related to reaching a certain age.

Conditions for receiving the supplement:

• the pensioner’s age must not exceed 70 years;
• the pension must be granted based on age;
• the total amount of the monthly pension payment must not exceed 10,340.35 hryvnias.

The amount of the supplement depends on the age category of the pensioner and is as follows:

• 300 hryvnias – for individuals aged 70 to 74;

• 456 hryvnias – for pensioners aged 75 to 79;
• 570 hryvnias – for individuals over 80 years old.

The supplement is calculated not from the beginning of the calendar month but from the pensioner's birthday. Therefore, in the first month, it is paid partially, proportionate to the number of days after the birthday, as noted by the Pension Fund of Ukraine.
