Pursuant to Article 37 of the RA law on State Pensions, the unit granting pensions shall change the type of pension at the beneficiary’s discretion before the time the latter becomes eligible for an old age pension.
Under the same law upon becoming eligible for an old age pension, regardless of the fact whether the beneficiary has filed an application or not, an old age pension shall be granted instead of a privileged or partial or civil aviation employees’ long service pensions, and in the event of receiving or becoming eligible for a disability pension or survivor’s pension, the type of pension shall be changed based on the written application of the beneficiary.
The type of the pension shall be changed from the 1st day of the month after the origination of circumstances leading to such a change.
