In 2023, according to the regulation of the period, a straight payment of 8 thousand 77 TL was given to the civil servants on duty, but this amount was not reflected in the pensions of retired civil servants. Retired civil servants, who stated that they were victimized, took legal action.

WILL THERE BE A RAISE OF 25 THOUSAND TL?
The claim that there will be a 25 thousand lira raise for retirees is based on calculations based on the current equivalent of the 8 thousand 77 lira payment in 2023. However, the 25 thousand lira wage increase is not a final payment. Following the decision of the Constitutional Court, the amount and scope of the possible payment will become clear.
