Government plans increase in lowest pensions in 2019 - CIR

The government plans a one-off increase in the lowest pensions in 2019, Government Information Center (CIR) reported. "Despite the many changes made in recent years to improve the situation of people receiving the lowest pensions, the amount is still considered insufficient in comparison to the cost of living" – the document said.

The government plans to increase the minimum amount to PLN 1,100 for a pension of severely disabled people, family pension and social pension. The lowest pension due to partial inability to work should reach PLN 825.
