Many Polish seniors face financial challenges, surviving with modest pensions. The state provided additional support for them in the form of the alleged supplemental benefit, commonly known as "500 plus for senior". This benefit is addressed to persons in request of constant care who meet certain income and wellness criteria. Thanks to it, elder citizens can receive even full PLN 500 gross per month.
