The gradual abolition of personal difference By 2027 for 660,000 pensions Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced today (6.9.25) from the TIF step.
In particular, the Mr. Mitsotakishe announced that by 2026 the personal difference for pensioners is reduced by 2026, while by 2027, the personal difference for pensions is reset.
It is recalled that the personal difference, according to the Katrougalos insurance law (2016) is the difference Between the paid (before May 13, 2016) and the re -estimated (reduced May 2016) pension.
According to the same law, the personal difference is set off each year from 2023 (so increases in pensions) with annual increases.
Thus, in large (as some of them were included in the beneficiaries of the extraordinary retirement benefits), pensioners with personal difference were excluded from the increases given by 2023, as they received them “in hand” only the “new” retirees.
The abolition of personal difference from January 1, 2027 -according to the same Mitsotakis announcements – It will lead to the payment of increases to everyone, regardless of pensioners.
So Even retired with a personal difference of 100 euros and a pension paid 1,500 euros. Suppose in 2027, a 2% increase in pensions, the pensioner in question will see an increase of 30 euros and his earnings will reach 1,530 euros.
The reduction in personal difference by 50% from January 1, 2026, will not change the existing “regime”, according to which pensioners with personal difference are excluded from any increase in pensioners in 2023.
At least A pensioner with 1,600 euros and a personal difference of 150 euros. In 2026, its personal difference will amount to 75 euros due to a 50% reduction while offset at the rate of increase in 2026.
It is noted that The reduction in personal difference to 50% from 2026 does not lead to any increase in budget expenditure. However, an indirect increase in budgetary expenditure from 2027 will be abolished by personal dispute, as it will be found (from 2027) and those pensioners, who correspond to 1/5 of the total of those who receive the annual increase in insurance.
