Pensioners with Deteriorated Health May Receive 944 Hryvnya Bonus
Starting January, pensioners with health issues requiring assistance may receive a nearly 1000 hryvnya bonus.

To qualify, an individual must:
- Be 80 years or older.
- Live alone.
- Receive a pension due to age.

- Visit the State Pension Fund (ПФУ) with a specific application and a medical certificate confirming their health condition.
