The corresponding planned increases are laid in the State Budget of Ukraine for 2017.

As noted, the cost of living increased by 80 hryvnia and is 1684 hryvnia for able-bodied people. At the same time, the subsistence minimum for disabled persons, which determines the minimum pension size, is increased to 1312 UAH.

Thus, from December 1, the size of the minimum pension will grow to 1373 hryvnia.

In addition, surcharges for overtime, payments to war veterans and members of their families, victims of Nazi persecution, pensions for special services to Ukraine, as well as an increase to donors.

By the way, earlier Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Pavel Rozenko said that for 8 million Ukrainian pensioners, whose pension payments depend on the minimum pension, payments will grow by at least 10%.

Recall, as previously reported "URA-Inform", in our country the average salary in March was 6752 hryvnia.
