Yes, it may not be necessary to appear in person.

To receive benefits, persons with the status of a participant in hostilities must apply to the bodies of the Pension Fund of Ukraine, regardless of their place of registration.

Statements that must be submitted:

  1. Application for entering a person into the EDARP (Unified State Automated Register of Persons Entitled to Benefits).

  2. Application to establish a benefit.

The above applications can be submitted:

  1. to any service center of the Pension Fund in Ukraine (the list of active service centers is https://www.pfu.gov.ua/2152993-servisni-tsentry-gu-pfu);

  2. send by mail;

  3. through a personal account on the web portal of electronic services of the Pension Fund of Ukraine (https://portal.pfu.gov.ua/);

  4. through the Diya application (if Diya. Signature is available).

The benefit can be established both for a participant in hostilities and for his relatives.

Benefits to combatants are provided for utilities, solid fuel or liquefied gas exclusively in cash.
