PFU will pay an additional about UAH 2,000: to which pensioners do these funds belong?

In August 2025, some categories of pensioners will receive a one-time financial assistance for the Independence Day of Ukraine. These payments will apply to combatants, veterans, persons with disabilities as a result of the war, as well as those who work under special conditions.

The amount of the payment depends on the status of the person as of August 24, 2025. Participants in combat will receive 1,000 hryvnias along with the August pension. If a pensioner has an additional status, such as being a person with a disability due to the war, then after submitting the relevant document to the local department of the Pension Fund, they will be able to apply for additional financial assistance.

The difference between the 1,000 hryvnias already received and the amount of assistance for persons with disabilities depends on the group: persons with group I will receive 3,100 hryvnias, with II – 2,900 hryvnias, and with III – 2,700 hryvnias. For example, a person with a group II disability as a result of the war, who will receive 1,000 hryvnias, may additionally receive 1,900 hryvnias.

To receive this additional payment, the pensioner must apply to the Pension Fund office by November 2025.

It was previously reported that state assistance for certain pensioners will no longer be provided, which caused concern among citizens.
