Pensions will be increased from December 1. Who is entitled to the increase and how much will it be?
Pensioners who received their pensions at the beginning of January will receive two pensions in December. January pensions should already be paid in an increased amount, taking into account indexation in 2025. This was reported by the leading lawyer of the European Legal Service Oksana Krasovskaya.

— It is also worth noting that you only need to submit an application this year. Starting next year, 2025, payments will be automatically established for all pensioners over 80 years old and people with group 1 disabilities. The SFR allocates an additional 1,200 rubles to the pension for all citizens who are disabled in group 1 or have reached 80 years of age. There is no need to submit an application and provide information about who is caring for such a pensioner," Oksana Krasovskaya explained.
Additionally, if a pensioner has dependents, they can apply for a pension recalculation. In this case, fixed payments of old-age and disability insurance pensions are increased (no more than 3 disabled dependents are taken into account). The fixed payment amount for 2024 is set at 8,134 rubles 88 kopecks. That is, a pensioner can receive 2,711.63 rubles per dependent. To do this, you must submit an application and provide documents confirming the dependency.

An important detail: both non-working and working pensioners will receive an increase. In addition, the index for workers will be the first since 2015. The issue of returning the index has been discussed several times and will be resumed in 2025,” said lawyer Elena Kuznetsova.
