Ukrainians who have completely or partially lost their ability to work have a guaranteed right to a pension from the state. At the same time, under a number of circumstances, payment may be suspended or canceled - in particular, due to refusal of a re-examination, improvement in health status, failure to provide the necessary documents and for other reasons..

This was reported on the Diya portal. It is noted that persons with disabilities have the right to a pension in accordance with the law “On Compulsory State Pension Insurance”, and in order not to lose it, certain rules should be followed.

Citizens who have already reached the generally established retirement age are granted a disability pension for life. Repeated examination for such persons is carried out solely at their own request and application.. Accordingly, their payments due to a “missed re-examination” cannot be canceled.

If during the audit it turns out that the length of service was calculated incorrectly or the insured person does not meet the criteria, the amount of the pension may be significantly revised, and if the minimum required length of service is completely absent, its assignment may be canceled in accordance with this law.

If a government body has made a decision to refuse or terminate pension payments, and you consider this decision to be unlawful, the law allows you to appeal it. You can do this by:.
