Pension audit

Pension audit

A pension is a social guarantee provided by the state upon reaching retirement age. But the size of the pension often raises many questions. That is why it is advisable to conduct a pension audit from time to time. A pension audit is a check of the correctness of the calculation and payment of pension funds. It allows pensioners to make sure that they receive the payments due to them in accordance with current legislation.

 

Why do you need a pension audit?

 

Checking the correctness of the calculation: an audit allows you to identify possible errors in calculating the pension, which could have arisen due to human error or technical failures. For example, failure to include a certain period in the length of service.

 

Identifying underpayments: In some cases, pensioners may receive less than they should have. An audit helps identify such underpayments and ensure that they are reimbursed for the period they were not paid.

 

Consultation on pension legislation: the audit may include a consultation with a specialist who will explain to the pensioner his rights and obligations, and also answer all questions regarding pension provision. After all, each case is individual and requires detailed study and analysis.

How to get the pension audit service?

  1. Personally. A pensioner can personally contact the territorial body of the Pension Fund of Ukraine with a request to provide information on the calculation of his pension. Having received it, the pensioner can check whether his work experience matches that indicated in the calculation. But for a more in-depth analysis and verification, it is necessary to contact specialists.
  2. Contacting specialists. A pensioner can contact specialists who deal specifically with pension disputes. These specialists will help check the correctness of the pension calculation and identify possible errors. If errors are found, consultations can also be provided on how to eliminate and correct them.

The service can be provided remotely, so it can be done from any corner of Ukraine. If you doubt your pension, we can check it on our calculator.

Is it possible to increase the amount of the pension through the court?

Yes, it is possible, but it all depends on the type of pension the pensioner receives. In most cases, the court takes the side of pensioners, but it is necessary to provide a maximum of documents that confirm the increase in the amount of the pension (including certificates of seniority and earnings).

What to do if the Pension Fund does not comply with the court decision?

I would like to note right away that the Constitution of Ukraine has defined the obligation to execute the court decision, however, the PFU neglects this obligation and delays the execution of the decision or does not fulfill it at all. Among the effective ways that can be offered in order to implement the court decision:

  • lawyer’s request;
  • receiving executive letters from the court with subsequent appeal to the executive service;
  • submission of applications to the court in accordance with Articles 382 and 383 of the Civil Code of Ukraine.

I emphasize that in this way it is impossible to solve the issue of receiving the debt, since there is another payment procedure.

What is required to apply for a pension?

An application for a pension can be made at any time after the right to a pension has arisen or no earlier than one month before reaching the retirement age.

To apply for a pension, you need to collect the necessary list of documents and apply for a pension to the Pension Fund.

The pension application is considered within 10 days, and a corresponding decision is made based on the results of such consideration.

Is it possible to appeal against the Pension Fund's refusal to grant a pension?

We would like to note that the Pension Fund quite often refuses to grant a pension for one reason or another. However, an effective way to restore the violated right in case of refusal to grant a pension is to appeal the decision on the refusal to grant a pension to the court within 6 months from the day when the person learned or should have learned about the violation of his right. In most cases, the court sided with the pensioners, as the refusals to grant a pension are unfounded and due to formal circumstances.

Is it possible to get a lawyer's consultation by phone if it is not possible to come to the office?

Yes, our lawyers provide consultations online: by phone, video call, and Viber. We have many clients from different regions of Ukraine, whose interests we successfully defended in court and helped increase their pension. We conclude the contract remotely and exchange documents via Nova Poshta, Viber or email.
