Not all Ukrainian pensioners have the opportunity to receive additional financial assistance from the state. This concerns a monthly supplement of 1038 hryvnias, which is provided for the fulfillment of certain conditions. This information was confirmed by the Pension Fund of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Citizens who have reached the age of 80 are entitled to such additional assistance, but age is not the only criterion. Several conditions must be met. In particular, a pensioner must live independently and not have able-bodied relatives who are required by law to support him, regardless of where they are – in Ukraine or abroad.<\/p>\n
The main condition for receiving the allowance is the need for constant external care, which must be confirmed by a medical opinion from a medical advisory commission. This document certifies that a person with certain health problems cannot take care of himself independently and needs external assistance.<\/p>\n
To obtain this opinion, a pensioner or his relatives should contact their family doctor. The doctor will assess the patient’s condition and, if necessary, refer them to the appropriate commission. As a rule, positive decisions are received by people with serious mobility problems, chronic diseases or disabilities.<\/p>\n
After receiving a medical opinion, you need to contact the Pension Fund to apply for a supplement. It is important to remember that the payment will be made only if all necessary documents and confirmations are available.<\/p>\n
Experts recommend not to delay this process: if there are grounds for receiving assistance, you should consult a doctor and undergo the necessary procedures. Otherwise, these funds may remain “on paper”.<\/p>\n
We remind you that the Pension Fund of Ukraine explained the conditions for changing the date of receiving a pension, and also told how to change the method of receiving a pension without leaving home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
