Alternative Pension Recalculation
For most people, understanding how a pension is calculated is a complicated and confusing process. Pension calculations involve numerous legal provisions, formulas, coefficients, insurance records, and salary indicators that are difficult to verify without specialized knowledge. While it is possible to study Ukrainian pension legislation and calculate your pension independently, many people prefer to seek assistance from an experienced pension recalculation attorney. Our legal team has extensive experience reviewing all major categories of Ukrainian pensions and can provide a comprehensive and professional analysis of your pension calculation.
Before ordering our alternative pension recalculation service, clients most frequently ask the following questions:
1. What documents are required for a pension review?
To begin our work, we ask clients to provide copies of their passport and Taxpayer Identification Number for the purpose of concluding a legal services agreement. We also request a copy of the employment record book and, where available, copies of any correspondence with the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU).
If the client has access to their personal account on the Pension Fund's electronic portal, we ask them to download all pension award decisions, calculation protocols, and supporting documents. If such access is unavailable, our attorneys will obtain the pension file directly from the Pension Fund on the client's behalf.
2. How is the pension review carried out?
After collecting all documents used by the Pension Fund to calculate your pension, we conduct our own independent legal review. This includes a complete recalculation of your pension, verification of your insurance record, earnings, pension coefficients, statutory indicators, and every component used in determining the amount of your pension.
3. What does the client receive?
Upon completion of the alternative pension recalculation, we prepare a comprehensive written legal report. The report contains a detailed analysis of your pension file, explains the pension calculation formula applied by the Pension Fund, and identifies any legal or mathematical errors.
Most importantly, our report does not merely identify problems—it provides practical recommendations on how your pension may be increased. We always follow a pragmatic legal approach and offer different strategies depending on the circumstances of each case. We do not automatically recommend court proceedings where the issue can be resolved by obtaining additional supporting documents. Conversely, if obtaining such documents is impossible, we recommend judicial protection of your pension rights.
All recommendations prepared by our pension attorneys are intended for practical implementation. Our objective is not simply to review your pension calculation but to determine the most effective legal method of increasing your pension benefits. We also explain all potential legal risks and provide an honest assessment of your prospects because we believe that transparency between attorney and client is essential for achieving the best possible outcome.
4. How can you order the service?
Our alternative pension recalculation service can be ordered online from anywhere in Ukraine or abroad. Clients may also visit one of our offices in person if preferred. We will explain which documents are required and guide you through every stage of our cooperation.
