Residents will receive two pensions at the same time: in May, pensioners will be given significant bonuses

Persons with disabilities who meet specific requirements are entitled to receive both an old-age pension and a disability allowance.

To take advantage of this opportunity, documents confirming the person’s status and work experience must be submitted to the Pension Fund. The requirements vary depending on the category of disability and the length of official work experience. For persons with disabilities in the first and second groups, up to 10 years of work experience is required, while for the third group, from 1 to 14 years.

Documents can be submitted to the territorial branch of the Pension Fund or local social protection bodies. Specialists will help verify work experience data and explain the procedure for submitting applications.

The amount of disability pensions has remained unchanged for 2025 since the subsistence minimum for those unable to work is 2,361 hryvnia.

The distribution of payments is as follows:

for persons with disabilities of the first group (disability since childhood) – 2,361 hryvnia;
for persons with disabilities of the second group – 1,888 hryvnia, which is 80% of the base;
for persons with disabilities of the third group – 1,416 hryvnia, or 60%;
for children with disabilities – 1,652 hryvnia, 70% of the subsistence minimum.
Registration of these payments requires submitting an official application, and the appropriate amount can be assigned only after the documents are checked.

These are important steps to support the most vulnerable segments of the population. It must be remembered that since the war began in 2014, Ukraine has found itself in a situation where it is obliged to spend resources not on development but on protection and reconstruction. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian authorities continue looking for ways to help those who need it most.

Earlier, it was also reported about the planned increase in pensions for retirees, which will take place in May. Don’t lose hope, and find out what actions can help retirees achieve pension recalculation.
