A 7.75% increase will begin to be paid out with February pensions, Labor & Social Affairs Minister Kostis Chatzidakis told SKAI TV on Saturday, ANA reports.
The minister clarified that pensioners who are included in the so-called ‘personal difference’ category will get an increase too.
Of the 910,000 pensioners who fall into the ‘personal difference’ category, 515,000 will benefit from the abolition of the extraordinary solidarity levy -which has already been in effect since the beginning of the year- while another 260,000 will also benefit as recipients of the 250-euro emergency cash aid.
