💰 Subsidies in 2026: What people with disabilities need to know The PFU has clarified the rules for receiving housing assistance. Disability does not give an automatic right to a subsidy, nor does it deprive one of it. The main factor is family income. 📉 Important: From July 1, 2026, the subsidy is granted from the month of application if the request is not submitted during the seasonal period. ⚖️ You cannot receive both a benefit and a subsidy simultaneously. You must choose one option. 📄 Documents can be submitted via "Diia" or at PFU centers. #subsidies #disability #PFU #utilities #Ukraine2026
