Whom additional pension allowances are waiting

In Ukraine, some categories of pensioners are entitled to additional payments to the main pension. These allowances may be assigned depending on age, social status or need for care. The system of providing such surcharges helps to increase the standard of living of those who need special attention, providing some financial support.

One of the main categories of surcharges concerns pensioners who are 75 years old. These persons can receive a monthly compensation payment, the amount of which is 456 UAH. This means that pensioners aged 75 can get extra money to their main pension, which can significantly improve their financial situation.

However, it should be noted that the allowance of 456 UAH is only valid for those whose total pension does not exceed UAH 10 340. That is, if the total amount of the pension is more than this amount, the pensioner will not be able to receive a surcharge. For persons from 70 to 74 years there is already another allowance - 300 UAH. Thus, the achievement of 75 years brings another increase, although the real amount of surcharges for these persons will be only 156 UAH (456 minus 300).

Another category of pensioners who can receive additional payments is lonely 80 and older persons. If such a person needs permanent care, which is confirmed by the medical commission, he may be assigned social assistance. This assistance is currently 40% of the subsistence level, which is equivalent to UAH 944.40 per month.

It is important that in order to receive this assistance, the pensioner must meet several conditions: he must live on his own, not have nearby relatives who could care for him, and should be a medical certificate confirming the need for constant care. Such surcharges are important support for people who cannot take care of themselves because of their health.

In order to receive compensation payments, pensioners need to contact the Branch of the Pension Fund of Ukraine, where they can obtain accurate information about possible payments and their size. It should also be noted that this system of surcharges and benefits is constantly updated, so it is important to be aware of topical changes.

Thus, pensioners in Ukraine can receive additional financial support, which is an important factor in improving their financial situation, especially in older age or, if necessary, special care.
