Recipients eligible for a 1000-grid pension bonus starting from September 1st.
Starting September 1, 2025, a specific group of pensioners aged 80 and over who live alone and require outside care will receive an additional care allowance in Ukraine. This allowance, designed to improve the financial situation of pensioners by compensating for additional expenses on care and treatment, is approximately 1000 hryvnias and will be added to the main pension.
To be eligible for this allowance, pensioners must provide documentation of their needs and submit a number of documents, including medical certificates confirming the deterioration of health and the need for care, a passport, and a certificate that the pensioner does not receive other care-related payments.
The process of obtaining the allowance will require citizens to submit a corresponding application to the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU). It's essential to note that this allowance is not a general increase in pension for all pensioners but a specific benefit for a certain group of pensioners with special needs.
The new social support model aims to be targeted, dignified, and tailored to individual needs, suggesting that future allowances, including those for elderly pensioners, will likely be awarded based on objective needs assessments possibly aligned with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). However, as of late August 2025, no officially confirmed criteria or conditions for the additional care allowance for pensioners aged 80+ starting September 1, 2025, can be found from the provided sources. Further official announcements or legislation from Ukrainian social policy authorities would be necessary to specify these criteria.
It's important to remember that eligibility for the allowance is subject to the condition that there are no other payments intended for people with special needs. This innovation will support the most vulnerable category of pensioners, improving their financial situation in difficult times.
