Bosnia and Herzegovina veteran disability benefits

Overview

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the management and provision of benefits for war disabled veterans involve various levels of government, from municipal services to the Federal Ministry for Veterans and Disabled Persons of the Liberation War.

In Tuzla Canton, the government has proposed amendments to the Law on Additional Rights of Defenders and Their Family Members. This proposal aims to introduce personal assistance benefits for war disabled veterans with a 100 percent disability rating in Group I. The initiative, supported by veterans' associations, suggests monthly compensations of 400 KM for first-degree allowance recipients and 300 KM for second-degree recipients, with implementation targeted for January 1, 2027.

Nationally, disability benefits include personal pensions, care allowances, and orthopedic aids. Financial records from 2025 show that transfers for disability benefits totaled 305,115,009 KM. While monthly payment bases fluctuated in 2025, projections indicated an increase to 1,171 KM for 2026.
