Last year, Ukraine saw significant changes in social benefits for people with disabilities. This year, this process continues: approaches to the appointment, recalculation and administration of state social assistance are being updated. This directly affects the level of financial support for people with disabilities and their families.
What exactly has changed in the area of social benefits and may change in the near future? What difficulties do recipients of assistance most often face? What can be done to avoid problems?
You can learn about this at our webinar, organized by the National Assembly of People with Disabilities of Ukraine as part of the project «Together in Action: Capacity Building of NGOs of Persons with Disabilities».
You will also learn about:
- changes in the procedure for granting and paying benefits to persons with disabilities;
- peculiarities of recalculation of payments, preservation of the right to assistance and grounds for termination of payments;
- the role of the Pension Fund of Ukraine in the administration of social benefits.
There will be time to answer questions from the audience.
This webinar is for:
- people with disabilities and their families;
- representatives of public organizations and activists;
