Uzbekistan intends to improve procedure for assigning a pension

This bill was developed with the aim of further strengthening the social protection of persons with disabilities, the parliamentary press service reported. 

In accordance with the current legislation, the time of work after the assignment of a disability pension of groups I and II is counted in the length of service when awarding an old-age or survivor’s pension. 

At the same time, if a citizen receiving a disability pension continues to receive it when he reaches retirement age or on the occasion of the loss of a breadwinner (does not switch to another type of pension), the recalculation of the disability pension by adding work time after the assignment of a disability pension of groups I and II is not produced.

By the draft law, from January 1, 2023, for citizens receiving a disability pension of groups I and II, the recalculation of the amount of the pension will be made taking into account the length of service and wages after the assignment of a disability pension once every two years, if they have one year of work experience.
