Recalculation of pensions for mobilized persons

According to the Law of Ukraine «On Pension Provision for Persons Discharged from Military Service and Certain Other Persons» pension payments are not suspended for pensioners who are re-enlisted in the military. This applies to those who were mobilized during a special period or signed a contract. The legal provision also applies to reservists called up during a special period. If you are interested in the issues of pensions for military personnel and any other topics related to military law, the team of Prikhodko & Partners Law Firm has specialists who can competently help you with this. We specialize in this area of jurisprudence and always work for the result, helping our clients.

How is the pension calculated and transferred?

When these categories of servicemen are discharged from service, their pension is paid taking into account the additional length of service acquired since the time of call-up as part of mobilization or signing a contract. In order for a pension to be recalculated, the authorized body of the ministry or agency from which the serviceman or woman left service must provide the following documents

1. a pension certificate;
2. calculation of the length of service of the serviceman;
3. a certificate of additional types of financial support.

Simply put, after dismissal, a person who already had a «military pension» at the time of mobilization must have his or her service and financial support recalculated.

Can a pension become smaller after recalculation?

It is important to note that if the amount of the pension after the recalculation becomes less, the pension is paid exactly as it was paid before the serviceman was enlisted for service during the special period. Therefore, you have no reason to worry that your pension will be reduced. This will not happen.

If you encounter a problem when your pension was stopped or recalculated, this decision or action can be appealed in court.
