Some Ukrainian military pensioners can receive UAH 1,297.50 monthly for each dependent. Strict conditions must be met to be eligible for this payment.

Pensioners from occupied territories must inform the PFU about no payments from Russia, otherwise pensions will stop. Online, video, and mail options are available.

Lawyer Liubomyr Kozhukhov explained that working pensioners in Ukraine can receive a higher payout upon recalculation, but the right to it is not tied to September and arises in any month once the required record is present.

Ukraine's Pension Fund clarified that a pensioner moving in with their children is not automatically deprived of their housing subsidy, but must notify the fund within 30 days, and the amount of assistance may change to reflect the new household composition.

The PFU explained why a housing subsidy may become smaller: a rise in income, automatic recalculation in March and August, the change of heating season, and changes in tariffs or household composition.

The PFSU clarified: an inherited apartment or house does not deprive an old-age pensioner of the right to a housing subsidy, provided the housing is not rented out. The exception does not apply to length-of-service pensions, disability pensions, or survivor's pensions.

🏠 Non-working pensioners in Ukraine can receive a housing subsidy if utility expenses exceed the mandatory payment. The procedure is simplified for single pensioners: only an application and a declaration are required. ⚠️ However, there are nuances: utility debts must be paid off or restructured, and if people are registered in the housing who do not live there, documents confirming their absence are required. 💡 In 2026, changes in water tariffs may affect the subsidy amount. Stay tuned for news!

🇺🇦 **Pensioners do not have to deregister children to receive a subsidy** Many elderly people fear that the registration of adult children living separately will deprive them of the right to a housing subsidy. Lawyer Ruslan Ruzhytskyi clarified the situation: ✅ The subsidy is appointed for those who **actually reside** in the housing. ✅ Deregistration of children is not mandatory. ✅ It is enough to provide documents confirming that the children live in another city or abroad (certificates of work, study, stay abroad). The main thing is to confirm the actual non-residence of children at the place of registration. 📝 #subsidy #pensioners #Ukraine #PFU #legalaid
