If a person received a pension in Ukraine and temporarily left because of the war abroad, then he will continue to receive pension payments.

If a person reaches retirement age during his stay abroad, the assignment of payments is carried out in accordance with Art.. 44 of the Law of Ukraine " The Pension Fund stressed that the pension is assigned regardless of the place of residence of the citizen.

A pensioner can apply for a pension at any time after the right to it arises..
