Summary
The disability pension amount in Ukraine for Group II in 2026 depends on more than the assigned disability group, according to an article published by Sudovo-yurydychna hazeta. Insurance experience, earnings on which insurance contributions were paid, employment status, and the presence of preferential status all factor into the calculation, meaning people in the same disability group may receive different amounts.
As explained by the Pension Fund, the Group II disability pension equals 90% of the old-age pension calculated for the individual. Additional periods of insurance experience provided by law may also be counted and affect the size of the assigned pension. Whether the pensioner continues to work also influences the final amount, as separate rules govern recalculation and supplements for working and non-working recipients.
