Who is eligible for a dual pension?
Individuals with disabilities are entitled to both the standard old-age pension and an additional payment due to their disability.
Disabled individuals who have lost their breadwinner:
In such cases, the pension for the loss of a breadwinner is paid alongside the main pension.
The amounts of financial support for people with disabilities will remain tied to the established minimum subsistence level for those unable to work. The current figures are as follows:
Disability Group I: full coverage equivalent to 100% of the minimum subsistence level (2361 UAH).
Disability Group II: 80% of the minimum subsistence level.
Disability Group III: 60% of the minimum subsistence level.
Children with disabilities (up to 18 years): 70% of the minimum subsistence level.
These are the base amounts, but depending on individual circumstances, the final payment may be higher.
The right to receive a disability pension is also determined by the required insurance experience, which varies based on the individual's age and disability group:
Groups I and II: the required insurance experience ranges from 1 to 10 years.
Group III: the range is from 1 to 14 years.
The Pension Fund of Ukraine assesses whether an individual meets these insurance criteria, which may differ depending on the age at which the disability status was assigned.
If you believe you may qualify for two pension payments, it is essential to consult with the Pension Fund or local social protection services.
Key details for confirmation include:
