Around 3,000 veteran and demobilized support specialists are working in Ukrainian communities. They can be found in the "Veteran PRO" section of the Diia app or through local veteran policy departments.

Ukraine has developed a bill allowing veterans and their family members to pass through border control on a priority basis. The initiative aims to enhance respect and support for the country's defenders.

Ukrainians who were denied utility benefits due to high income can apply for housing subsidies. The income threshold for benefits in 2026 is 4,660 hryvnias per person.

Housing subsidies can be reduced or canceled due to untimely reporting of changes in income, property status, or accumulated utility debts.

Kyiv is preparing autonomous facilities for mobility-impaired citizens and organizing home meal delivery in case of winter blackouts.

Ukrainians risk losing housing benefits due to delayed notifications to the Pension Fund, income exceeding UAH 4,660, or registry errors.

Unemployed pensioners with no additional income in Ukraine can apply for a housing subsidy, category-specific benefits, and solid fuel support. The amount of assistance is calculated individually.

Large families in 2026 can apply for a 50% utility discount if their per capita monthly income does not exceed 4,660 hryvnias, processed via the PFU.

Ukraine continues to process benefits for the purchase of firewood and coal for the 2026/2027 heating season. The Pension Fund takes citizen incomes and international aid into account.

IDP housing assistance continues to be paid on the 15th and 28th: 3,000 hryvnias to children and persons with disabilities, 2,000 — to others. Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 709 has strengthened control: in case of data discrepancies in the registers, payments are automatically suspended.

Ukrainians who provide housing free of charge to internally displaced persons can receive a monthly state compensation. The payment is processed through the Pension Fund for six months, with automatic extension after a re-verification.

The Kyiv City Council simplified the procedure for receiving benefits for defenders and their families: mandatory certificates in forms No. 5 and No. 6 have been abolished, as well as the annual resubmission of documents. The rules for families of missing persons have been simplified, and the rights of children up to the age of 23 have been expanded.

The Pension Fund of Ukraine has clarified that IDPs can apply for a housing subsidy based on their actual place of residence. In this case, the income of other registered persons is not taken into account, and the living allowance is not included in the calculation of the family's total income.

🇵🇱 Poland softens its stance: bill to expand benefits for Ukrainians submitted to the Sejm. Since July 1, 2026, Poland has cancelled mass benefits, leaving them only for a narrow circle of vulnerable categories. Now, a document has been registered in the Sejm proposing to return support to single mothers, low-income pensioners, and their family members. 🏥 Right to medical care outside accommodation centers included. 💰 Costs estimated at 100 million zlotys. 🗓️ Consideration scheduled for September 2026.

🇺🇦 Subsidy for military families: income from the front is not taken into account in the calculation! 🔹 If a family member participates in defense, their payments are not included in the household income. 🔹 Important: documents confirming the period of participation in hostilities are required. 🔹 Excluding military income does not guarantee a subsidy automatically — incomes of other family members are checked. #subsidy #PFU #Ukraine #military #utilities

❄️ Kyiv is updating the database of persons with reduced mobility before winter. Authorities are rechecking the addresses of the elderly and people with disabilities to assist them during outages. The number of heating points will double — up to 100 across the city. #Kyiv #Winter2026 #SocialSupport

🏠 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!

🔥 In 2026, recipients of subsidies and benefits for solid fuel in Ukraine will receive additional support — automatically! 💰 The payment amount depends on the size of the benefit. For new applicants — online application in 30 minutes. ⚠️ Families of deceased defenders — subsidy alternative. #Ukraine #Subsidy #PFU #Heating2026
