The Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan stipulates that the period of payment of pensions accrued to a pensioner but not claimed by him has been increased from 12 months to 24 months.
According to article 17 of the Law "On State Pension Provision for Citizens", it is established that disability pensions awarded due to a general illness are awarded if the following work experience is available at the time of disability.
Disability pensions may be awarded by medical and social expert commissions to persons with obvious signs of disability and anatomical defects, if they are recognized as persons with disabilities based on a medical report.
False information is currently being disseminated on social media that salaries, pensions and benefits will increase by 10% from March 1 and August 1, 2025.
According to the law, a family member of a deceased breadwinner over the age of 18, who is a student or student of an educational organization, is paid a survivor's pension before August 1 of the last academic year.
The Pension Fund of the Republic of Uzbekistan has developed and provided step-by-step instructions for obtaining information about the amount of your pension and benefits without leaving home. The agency has launched a special Telegram bot @pensionyauzbot, which allows you to get the necessary information online.
