One word in the certificate deprives servicemen of pensions and benefits: what you need to know.

Servicemen with disabilities may face issues due to incorrect documentation for pensions and benefits. Expert Sergey Korobkin spoke about a case involving a serviceman from Mykolaiv who received an incorrectly reduced pension due to errors in her documents.

'The pension was assigned, but its amount is lower than it should be. Now the pension is paid less than it should be,' the serviceman recounted.

The size of the pension depends on the disability status, and legislation provides for different pension amounts for military personnel and those who became disabled as a result of the war.

Different statuses - different pensions

The expert emphasized that veterans from the war receive larger pensions than other military veterans. However, incorrect determination of status may lead to erroneous pension calculations.

There are often issues with utility benefits due to misunderstandings regarding veteran status. Usually, war veterans have more benefits than other military personnel.

Avoiding bureaucratic errors in determining status and ensuring appropriate pensions and benefits is crucial for supporting servicemen with disabilities.
