The citizen does not want to return the excessive pension payment in the amount of 35,902 hryvnias to the PFU
The citizen is registered in the Pension Fund and receives benefits according to age. However, to her erroneously calculated the pension from the increased profit rate of 1,197 hryvnias instead of 928 hryvnias. She must return to the PFU the overpaid funds in the amount of 35,902 hryvnias. This is stated in the decision of the Obolon District Court of Kyiv, which was made public on November 12, 2025.
There is a woman in the register of the Main Directorate of the Pension Fund of Ukraine in the city of Kyiv, who receives a pension upon reaching the age. On the basis of her request, the pension case was transferred from Darnytskyi to Obolonskyi district on April 24, 2015. In the process of recalculation, it was discovered that the pension was incorrectly calculated from the higher earnings of 1,197 hryvnias from January 1, 2008, instead of 928 hryvnias. For a pre-trial settlement, she was sent a demand for the voluntary return of illegally obtained funds – excessive pension payments from January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2015 in the amount of 35,902 hryvnias, but no response was received.
On October 23, 2025, the citizen received a response to the lawsuit, in which she asks to reject the stated demands, to use the consequences of PFU’s omission of the statute of limitations. He notes that for more than nine years the PFU has not made any claims against it. She emphasizes that she honestly provided all the information, she was assigned a pension and paid for many years.
The progress of the case The court established that since January 3, 2003, the citizen has been registered with the PFU State Administration in Kyiv as a person receiving pension benefits. On August 29, 2008, her pension was recalculated, as a person who continues to work, since October 1, 2008, she was assigned a pension of 1,466 hryvnias. The same amount of pension payments in the amount of 1,466 hryvnias has remained since January 4, 2013. The verification of pension provision was carried out on August 29, 2008, and later on September 15, 2011. The amount of the citizen’s pension is 1,704 hryvnias. By order of July 31, 2025, the old-age pension was recalculated (according to the new formula) taking into account the amount of the old-age pension with a 20% salary increase, and the amount was determined at 1,502 hryvnias. Further, the surcharge is indicated and its amount is determined at 1,639 hryvnias. The protocol dated August 4, 2015 established the amount of overpayment of pension security for the period from January 2008 to August 2015 in the amount of 35,902 hryvnias.
What decision did the court make? The court rejected the claim of PFU. During the consideration of the case, the citizen’s guilt in providing incorrect data during the appointment and/or recalculation of the pension was not proven.
“Taking into account the evidence examined by the court as a whole, the court did not find legal grounds for meeting the claims of the Main Directorate of the Pension Fund of Ukraine in Kyiv to the defendant for the return of illegally received funds,” the court emphasized.
