Amaravati, Aug 23, 2025:
The Andhra Pradesh government has released an important update regarding the status of pensions under the Social Security scheme. Authorities clarified that beneficiaries with more than 40% disability mentioned as “Temporary Disability” in their Sadaram Certificate will continue to receive their pensions without interruption.
Pension Cancellation Notices Removed from Portal
According to official information, pension cancellation notices appearing on the SS Pension Portal (WEA login) have been removed for these eligible beneficiaries. This means their pensions will remain active as usual.
However, individuals who have not yet generated their Sadaram Certificate will face pension cancellation. Officials have urged beneficiaries to complete their documentation at the earliest to avoid suspension of benefits.
Pension Category Changes
The government also clarified that beneficiaries who applied for a change in pension type will now receive the revised pension amount according to the newly approved category.
For example, if a person shifts from disability pension to old-age pension, the updated amount will reflect in their monthly disbursement.
Widow Pension Appeals
In cases where pensions are cancelled, eligible women may still receive *widow pensions. Such beneficiaries can apply for conversion through the *MPDO login system after filing an appeal. The option will be processed and updated in the official records.
Public Reaction
This update has provided relief to thousands of differently-abled pensioners worried about cancellation notices. At the same time, officials reminded that proper certification and timely appeals are necessary to ensure continued financial support under the scheme.
Key Highlights:
- AP Government clarifies pension rules for disabled and widowed beneficiaries.
- Pension cancellation notices removed for those with 40%+ disability certificates.
- Pensions will stop for those without valid Sadaram Certificates.
