Specialists of the Legal Advisor for IDPs told how pensions in Ukraine will change from March 1 after indexation. On February 25, the Cabinet of Ministers made a decision to index pensions, payments should increase for more than 10 million citizens.
Experts told about it on Facebook.

Earlier, we wrote that the pensions of security forces are ten times higher than that of the rest of the citizens. One of the reasons is the courts that help to bypass payments, the other is a disability status, which also entitles additional payments. In the Cabinet and Council, they want to reform and equalize payments for all Ukrainians.
