What are the requirements to qualify for the DSWD social pension and how much can seniors receive?

A Kalinga PH Team Answered by

To qualify for the DSWD social pension in the Philippines, seniors must be at least 60 years old and belong to a low-income household. The pension aims to provide financial assistance to those who do not have a stable source of income. While the exact amount can vary, it's important to check with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) or visit their official website for the latest information on pension amounts and eligibility requirements. Each case is assessed individually, so confirming specifics with DSWD or a licensed professional is advisable.
