Not only utilities: what benefits Ukrainian pensioners are entitled to.

Ukrainian pensioners can receive significant benefits for utilities.

This information is reported by Channel 24.

Certain categories of pensioners have the opportunity to be fully exempt from paying for utilities or to receive a 100% discount subsidy.

This benefit is available to pensioners living in rural areas with some work experience in specific positions. These can include educators, medical and pharmaceutical workers, plant protection specialists, museum workers, librarians, employees of state and municipal cultural institutions, and educational institutions in the cultural field.

Additionally, pensioners can take advantage of discounts on legal services, including professional consultations, protection of rights and interests, and representation in various authorities.

Pensioners are also entitled to free travel in city public transport, excluding taxis. They are also entitled to free travel in suburban railway transport.

Pensioners are also exempt from paying land tax if the size of the land plot does not exceed established limits. These limits depend on the purpose of the plot and its location, ranging from 0.01 ha for individual garages to 2 ha for personal agriculture.

Recall that from August 1, some people will need to submit new documents to receive subsidies.
