The official also recalled that pensions should be increased by 11% per year.. At the same time, she explained why pensions have not been reindexed since March 1.

Lazebnaya noted that for many people the lack of indexation was unusual, because for several years pensioners received an increase on that day. However, according to her, since 2017 this figure was removed on March 1.. The official believes that most likely this date should be returned. She also promised that recalculation of pensions will be carried out this year.. They will start working on it right from April 1. And then 11 million pensioners will be able to receive a large pension this year..

The minister paid special attention to the inequality of pensions, which now exists..

“There’s a big difference between the payouts of people who went 2 years ago and 20.

We need to upgrade their pensions because it is unfair.

Accordingly, and to receive reindexing for different amounts: one - 2 thousand, the other - up to one hundred hryvnia. We will correct this, prepare a program, "
