, individuals who participated in wars outside Ukraine, as well as those who received disabilities during service.

What pensions can war veterans receive

Pensions for veterans are divided into two main types:

1. Pension for length of service and for disability. The amount of pension for length of service depends on the duration of service: after 25 years of service, 65% of monetary provision is accrued, and for each additional year, 3% is added, but not more than 70%. If the service is less than 25 years, the base rate is 50% with an addition of 1% for each additional year, also up to 70%.

2. Disability pensions depend on the group: Group I – 100% of monetary provision, Group II – 80%, Group III – 60%.

Minimum sizes of veteran pensions in 2025

• For persons with Group I disability: 16,847 UAH.

• Group II: 13,822 UAH.

• Group III: 9,478 UAH.

• Combatants and those affected by the Revolution of Dignity: 5,528 UAH (taking into account supplements).

• Participants of the Second World War aged 85 and older: 16,847 UAH (as for Group I).

These

amounts include supplements

, increases, and additional pensions provided by law. It is important to note that in 2025, medical and social expert commissions (MSEC) have been abolished, and the assessment of health status for pension appointments is now carried out by special expert teams, which significantly simplifies the process for injured servicemen.

Changes in pension provision for war veterans reflect the government's desire to support those who defended the country, facilitating access to necessary payments. The simplification of assessment procedures indicates an important trend in the attitude towards veterans and their needs. This is another step towards those who gave so much for our peace and future.
