According to legislation, the payment reaches 40% of the minimum subsistence level for individuals who have lost their ability to work; consequently, the amount of the supplement is 944.4 hryvnias.

Who is eligible for the payment

At the same time, the legislation sets certain criteria for those who may be entitled to receive the monthly payment. These requirements include:

  • being 80 years old or older;
  • living independently (without family);
  • requiring constant outside care due to health issues;
  • receiving an old-age pension.

Those who receive a disability pension are not eligible for this supplement.

What documents are needed to apply for the payment

To apply for this supplement, it is necessary to submit a corresponding application in the established format and also provide the required documents to the service:

  • passport;
  • identification number;
  • an extract from the Pension Fund confirming that the pensioner does not receive additional care allowances with their pension.

However, the key document needed for the application is the conclusion from the medical consulting commission, which proves that the individual requires constant supervision from others due to health reasons.

At the same time, this year Ukrainians can expect several changes regarding the pension calculation process. Starting from January 2025, new conditions for retirement at the age of 60 will come into effect in Ukraine: to retire at 60, one must have 32 years of service.
