Pension Lawyer

The pension legislation of Ukraine is complex enough to understand it on your own if you do not have relevant professional knowledge. Independently reading a significant number of laws and by-laws is a waste of time and effort, and the result may not be there. Specialists who have education and sufficient experience work well in such topics. Therefore, it is worth trusting specialists in the field of pension law. Such experts work at the “Prikhodko&Partners” law office, because this branch of law belongs to our specialization.

Our specialists deal with pension matters professionally and on a turnkey basis. Both civilian pensioners and former military personnel turn to us. This applies to the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, the State Emergency Service, the State Security Service of Ukraine, the State Police Service, the police, and other structures. And we also regularly work on the topic of pensions of civil servants, teachers, and doctors. These are the most requested categories of services, so in each of them we have accumulated a lot of experience during our work.

What requests do civilian pensioners make?

As evidenced by the practice of interaction of Ukrainian pensioners with the Pension Fund, this institution often does not provide mechanisms for the realization of their rights on a practical level, but, on the contrary, encroaches on these rights. For example, PF officials may refuse to transfer a pension to a civil servant, taking into account seniority supplements, bonuses, and other types of supplements. And in this case, a person does not receive a significant part of the funds.

If you look at this phenomenon in a long-term time context, then a fairly significant amount can accumulate. And this is just one of the examples. If we talk about trends, clients make the following requests regarding civil pension:

• Termination of pension payment in connection with departure abroad. This is illegal, because a person who has worked and paid taxes all his life has the right to an appropriate pension.
• Transition from one type of pension to another. It is important here that the pensioner can choose the type of pension himself, when he has the right to several options. And in practice, he can be refused. A clear example can be problems during the transition from an old-age pension to a civil servant’s pension.
• Appointment of a pension on preferential terms according to List № 1 and List № 2. PF representatives do not always take into account important factors in these matters.
• Confirmation of insurance (work) experience with a work book. Sometimes the officials of the Pension Fund have unfounded remarks about the clarity of entries in the work book. And it happens when the problem is due to the different spelling of the surname and first name in the passport in the work book.

So, you can turn to us in all such situations and get professional support.

What requests do former military and police officers make?

Among such common reasons for appeals are questions:

• pension calculation based on the updated certificate issued as of 2019;
• recalculation of the pension in the appropriate percentage ratio, taking into account the factor of years of service;
• removal of the illegal restriction, which they are trying to set on the maximum amount of the pension;
• assignment of a military pension on preferential terms;
• refund of additional payment of 2000 hryvnias;
• recalculation of the pension, which should reflect the indexation for 2022 and 2023 (removing the limit of the maximum amount also belongs to this topic);
• awarding a survivor’s pension to a deceased, deceased or missing serviceman.

What questions are relevant for civil servants, teachers and doctors?

When lawyers are approached by these categories of pensioners, a common topic for inquiries is the recalculation of civil servants’ pensions in accordance with the norms of Law № 3723. Here it is about taking into account updated certificates. Equally relevant are the requests for the payment of 10 salaries, which, subject to compliance with certain legal requirements, teachers and doctors can count on during retirement.
