About some pensioners of our country have the right to receiving an increase of 837 hryvnia/monthly, writes NBN, referring to government decree No. 261, published on the official page of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
In particular, in the current year, the above-described allowance is due in the event that the person meets all the specified criteria:
- is at least 80 years old,
- lives outside the family, alone;
- needs regular care for health reasons;
- receives an “age-related” pension benefit;
- does not receive a disability pension.
However, to confirm a health condition that requires constant care, the following package of documentation should be provided:
- conclusion of the medical commission regarding the need for regular care;
- passport;
- TIN;
- an extract from the Pension Fund certifying that the senior citizen is not being paid other allowances for retirement.
