Benefits for individuals with "labor veteran" status: a comprehensive list.

Individuals with the status of "labor veteran" are entitled to various benefits. This entitlement is governed by the law of Ukraine "On the Basics of Social Protection for Labor Veterans and Other Elderly Citizens." This was stated by the press service of Ministry of Social Policy.

Only those with an official status of "labor veteran" are eligible for benefits. This means individuals who have been issued the corresponding certificate.

"The certificate and badge of a labor veteran are issued by the labor and social protection authorities at the veteran's place of residence, while military veterans receive them from the agencies responsible for their pension provision," the Ministry of Social Policy's statement reads.

Despite the extensive list of benefits available to veterans, many of these opportunities are not implemented in practice, primarily due to insufficient funding.

Labor veterans are entitled to the following benefits:

• priority access to the installation of home telephones;
• exemption from land tax;
• exemption from land fees;
• priority free dental prosthetics (with the exception of prosthetics using precious stones);
• priority access to medical and preventive institutions (especially for urgent hospitalization);
• priority service in pharmacies;
• the right to receive an additional two-week vacation per year (without retention of salary), and so on.

We remind you that the Pension Fund has announced that certain citizens may receive a special supplement to pensions in 2025. This specifically applies to those Ukrainians who have health issues and require assistance.

Earlier, the Pension Fund of Ukraine noted that retirees can receive six months' worth of pensions in advance. This can occur if a Ukrainian relocates abroad for permanent residence.
