The social security system in Russia is constantly being reformed in order to cover as many citizens as possible who need additional support. People with disabilities are the category of the population that is given priority. At the federal and municipal levels, disabled people are provided with a number of benefits and are paid one-time and monthly benefits, the amount of which depends on the state of health and disability group.

What cash benefits are due to people with disabilities

It is customary to classify as disabled individuals who, due to certain circumstances, congenital or acquired diseases, lose the ability to work or serve themselves independently. People with disabilities need special treatment. The state shows special concern for this category of citizens, therefore a whole list of preferences has been defined for them:

• The right to receive free medicines.
• Issuance of certificates for the purchase of assistive devices such as orthopedic shoes, wheelchairs.

• Provision of housing on a preferential basis.
• Discounts on rent and utility bills.
• Free provision of food for children of the first 2 years of life.
• Exemption from payment of duties for certain types of vehicles.
• Compensation for the cost of dental prosthetics (regional privilege).
• Free professional legal assistance.
• Provision of household services at home.
• Free travel on public transport.
• Special assistance to families with a child with a disability.

In modern practice, several categories of disability are distinguished by groups:

• disabled children.

The category of disability is assigned only to adults after passing a medical and social examination. Upon completion of the examination, the citizen is issued an official confirmation of the presence of dysfunction. Having a certificate in hand, you can get a certificate and apply for the accrual of various benefits:

• insurance pension;
• state pension;
• social pension;
• monthly cash payments;
• a set of social services (his monetary compensation);
• additional monthly financial support;
• disability care allowance;
• regional fees.

Legal Framework

People with disabilities have the same rights as other Russian citizens. In addition to the Constitution and the Labor Code, according to which everyone, without exception, has the right to work and a decent life, a number of normative and legal acts have been adopted. In September 2008, Russia signed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, undertaking to create all necessary conditions for the life of disabled citizens and to exclude any discrimination against them.

Of the legislative acts, it is worth highlighting:

• Law No. 181-FZ (November 24, 1995), which comprehensively considers the areas of activity and life of persons with disabilities. The document reflects all aspects of the social protection of citizens with disabilities and reveals the meaning of all the norms that are laid down in the Constitution and the Convention.
• Law No. 122-FZ (08/02/1995), revealing the main points of social services for the elderly and disabled.
• Law No. 1244-1 (15.05.1991), which concerns the protection of citizens affected by the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
• Law No. 5-FZ (01/12/1995), regulating issues related to the social protection of veterans.

With regard to pensions for persons with disabilities, here you should study:

• Law of December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ, covering all aspects of the calculation of labor pensions.
• Law of December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ, which deals with the issues of pension provision in Russia.

In addition to this, a number of presidential decrees and government decrees have been signed, which in one way or another relate to incapacitated persons:

• Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1157 "On additional measures of state support for the disabled" (02.10.1992);
• Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 685 "On some measures of social support for the disabled" (05/06/2008).
• Government Decree No. 95 on the approval of the “Rules for Recognizing a Person as Disabled” (06/20/1995), etc.

The amount of the disability pension

According to Russian legislation, people with developmental disabilities are entitled to pension allowances. The amount of payments and the term of provision depends on the group of incapacity and the age of the person. All disabled people are required to periodically confirm the group assigned to them by passing the ITU. To receive a payment to disabled people of group 2, as well as 3, you need to undergo a re-examination every year, and for group 1 - every two years. People who have reached the generally established retirement age can be assigned a group indefinitely.

Labor

An insurance pension is paid to all citizens who have a sufficient record of insurance payments and the necessary individual pension coefficient. Their values ​​are revised annually upwards. There is no such requirement for persons with disabilities. They can receive a labor pension if they have worked at least one day in their life, and insurance premiums have been paid from the earnings received by the employer.

Persons with disabilities have the right to receive a labor pension during the time when they are officially recognized as disabled or until they reach the age that makes it possible to receive an old-age insurance pension. For accruals, you need to prepare documents and contact the PFR department, a multifunctional center or directly through your personal account on the Pension Fund website. The insurance pension consists of a fixed part and a number of components:

• degree of disability;
• the presence of dependents;
• place of residence;
• age, etc.

• 1 and 2 groups - 4982 rubles 90 kopecks;
• Group 3 - 2491 rubles 45 kopecks.

Social

Disabled since childhood, disabled children and all other disabled citizens who have never worked, are not left without a livelihood. They are entitled to a social pension - the minimum guaranteed by the state and paid monthly. The amount of payments is set once a year, and its indexation is made on April 1. The planned growth for 2019 should be 4.1% - this figure is included in the draft budget adopted by the State Duma deputies.

Until 04/01/2018, the amount of the pension is:

State

Persons who received during the performance of official duties or in the first 3 months after dismissal an injury or illness that caused incapacity can apply for a state disability pension. Such persons include:

• military personnel;
• liquidators of radiation or technogenic accidents;
• participants of the Great Patriotic War;
• citizens who were awarded the badge "Inhabitant of besieged Leningrad";
• astronauts.

Payouts:

	Percentage of the amount of social pension

• military personnel;
• participants in the Second World War;
• awarded with the badge "Inhabitant of besieged Leningrad";
• cosmonauts (in this case, they do not receive a fixed part of the insurance pension).

Monthly cash payment

Disabled citizens and children with disabilities have a legal right to receive monthly cash payments. For the appointment and payment of the UDV, you must independently contact the regional representative office of the Pension Fund or the MFC, since the accrual of funds occurs strictly on a declarative basis. If an individual has the opportunity to receive a monthly cash payment for several reasons, then the one whose amount is of greater importance is established for him.

The EDV consists of two parts:

• Fixed payment. Paid exclusively in cash.
• A set of social services. You can get it in kind or by monetizing the full set or part of it.

List of a set of social services

From the moment of establishing the right to the UDV, a citizen receives a set of social services, which is an integral part of the monthly cash payment. The NSO consists of 3 components that have a monetary equivalent. The applicant can independently choose whether to implement all the benefits provided for by the set or receive monetary compensation. The citizen independently decides which services to monetize and submits an appropriate application. Once a year, you can change priorities by writing an application before October 1.

Amount of EDV in 2018

The amount of the monthly disability cash payment varies depending on the degree of disability assigned and the selected NSO. In addition, annually on February 1, the value of the UDV is subject to indexation - the inflation rate for the past year is taken as the basis. In 2018, payments increased by 2.5%, although an increase of 3.2% was originally planned. From 02/01/2018, the following dimensions have been established:

	Amount of EDV, rubles
	Taking into account the NSO	Excluding NSO
1 disability group
Disabled children
Disabled WWII
Citizens who received a disability group as a result of the Chernobyl accident

Additional monthly material support for disabled military (DEMO)

Since May 2005, thanks to the decree of the President of Russia, a new type of assistance has been introduced - additional monthly material support. This event was timed to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the victory in the Second World War, so the payments themselves concerned exclusively the participants in hostilities. DEMO is paid through representatives of the Pension Fund simultaneously with the pension allowance and has the following meanings:

Amount, rubles
	invalids of the Great Patriotic War; some participants in the Second World War; imperfect prisoners of concentration camps and ghettos.
	military personnel who served from 06/22/1941 to 09/03/1945 in units that were not part of the active army for at least 6 months; persons awarded medals and orders of the USSR for service in the period from 06/22/1941 to 09/03/1945; persons awarded with the badge "Inhabitant of besieged Leningrad"; adult prisoners; widows of military personnel who died during the Second World War, wars with Finland and Japan; widows of invalids of the Great Patriotic War.

Federal social payments to the disabled

In order to improve the social situation of people with disabilities, the state provides supplements to disability pensions. You can take advantage of the preference if a person’s income does not reach the established subsistence minimum for the region in which the citizen lives. The principle of providing assistance is based on the declarative system, with the exception of disabled children, for whom the additional payment is assigned simultaneously with the establishment of pension allowance.

When determining the total amount of a citizen's monetary security, all his monetary incomes are taken into account:

• pension;
• DEMO;
• regional surcharges;
• compensation payments.

care allowance

Citizens who, due to their state of health, cannot serve themselves on their own and take care of themselves need additional help. It can be provided by people from close circle or other citizens. For the provision of care by the state, a monetary reward is provided, to which regional coefficients are applied:

• compensation payment for caring for a person with disability assigned to group 1 in the amount of 1,200 rubles.
• Monthly payment. Assigned to a person caring for a disabled child and incapacitated from childhood with 1 disability group. For parents, guardians and adoptive parents, the amount of assistance is 5,000 rubles, for others - 1,200 rubles.

To qualify for this allowance, a caregiver must:

• Obtain the consent of the person to be cared for.
• Be unemployed and not receive benefits for this.
• Do not receive a pension.

To whom is paid

The process of caring for a disabled person is a responsible occupation that requires a lot of time, effort and moral stamina. Not all citizens have the right to carry out such activities. Legislation defines the criteria for a person planning to provide care. There are no requirements for kinship - a completely stranger can take care. In addition to the fact that the caregiver must obtain approval from the incapacitated person himself, he must additionally be:

• able-bodied;
• not carry out business activities;
• be officially unemployed, including under contracts;
• do not receive unemployment benefits;
• not receive a pension
• be over 14 years old.

How to issue

To carry out care, you must contact the regional branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or a multifunctional center with an application, to which a certain package of documents should be attached. If these documents are in the personal file of the person to be cared for, there is no need to provide them. The list of papers required for registration of care is as follows:

• Identity document.
• Employment record of both citizens.
• The conclusion of the medical institution on the need for care.
• Extract from the ITU act.
• Statement of the person to be cared for or his legal representative.
• Certificate stating that a person does not receive a pension.
• Certificate that the citizen does not receive unemployment benefits.
• Permission of parents and the guardianship authority to carry out labor activities, if the care will be carried out by a person who has not reached the age of majority.
• A certificate issued by the administration of the educational institution on the completion of full-time studies.

Indexing in 2018

Every year the government reviews the amount of social payments. This is done in order to minimize the consequences of rising prices and ensure the proper level of life support for people with special needs. As a rule, the inflation rate is taken as the basis. According to the budget for 2018, indexation affects such payments as:

• Insurance pensions - by 3.7% from January 1, 2018
• Monthly cash payment - by 2.5% from February 1, 2018
• A set of social services - by 2.5% from February 1, 2018
• Social pension - by 4.1% from April 1, 2018

How to get benefits

To assign a payment, citizens can apply at any time after the official emergence of the right to receive it. To apply, you must visit the local branch of the PFR or a multifunctional center on your own, or submit an application through your personal account on the PFR portal. If a person personally cannot carry out this procedure, this can be done for him by his legal representative, who has documentary evidence for the implementation of such actions.

Medical and social expertise

This stage of obtaining the status of a disabled person is quite complicated. It is impossible to predict the decision of the commission both in terms of positivity and in terms of what disability group a person is given. Even the predictions of the attending physician cannot be accurate.

An important point is to stay in the hospital - under the supervision of doctors. This procedure is carried out before the examination itself for an independent assessment of the patient's condition.

• about the child;
• about parents - or their representatives;
• on pension provision;
• about the pension body that will calculate the payment.

This is a standard document, to fill out which you will need only those papers that certify the identity of the parents and the child.

How is the accrual

Accrual is made from the moment an application for such an allowance was submitted to the Pension Fund.

The pension is calculated from the month of application. Even in case of any delays in payments, they will be made in full.

The first day of the month in which citizens applied for a pension benefit is taken as the starting date for calculations.

The processing time for applications is a maximum of 10 days. During this period, the FIU must familiarize itself with the submitted documentation and check its accuracy.

The citizen receives a notice of the accrual of a pension and clarifications - if necessary, provide additional documents. This can be done within three months.

For this, a specific period is set and after the citizen will need to undergo a re-examination. According to its results, subsequent payments are determined.

Is it possible to increase aid in 2019?

The increase in payments is carried out on the basis of legislation on indexation. These pensions are increased twice a year - in February and April. In total, in 2019, the increase was 4%.

Registration of pensions for children with disabilities

At any time after the entitlement to a pension, you can apply to the relevant authorities, while the pension will be assigned from the month in which the application was sent. In order to apply for a pension for a child with a disability, you need to apply to one of the authorities with a statement:

• Multifunctional center (MFC).

Application methods:

The list of documents required to apply for a pension for children with disabilities

• An application for a pension;
• Documents proving the identity of the applicant (one of the parents, guardian or legal representative), in this case a passport;

• Disability document. Such documents is an extract of their certificate of examination issued by the ITU .;
• A document confirming the citizenship of the Russian Federation, or permanent residence on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Deadlines for granting a pension

Regardless of the date of the application for a pension for children with disabilities, it will be assigned from the 1st day of the month in which it was applied for. A pension is established for the period during which the child is recognized as disabled, or indefinitely.

The amount of the pension for disabled children

In accordance with the law No. 166-FZ of January 15, 2001, a minor with a disability status is provided with a social pension and supplements to it. So, for 2017, the amount of the pension for children with disabilities is 12,082.06 rubles. In addition to this amount, a child with a disability status has the right to count on a monthly cash payment in the amount and a set of social services in cash or in kind (in the form of services). Read also the article: → "".

Consider what payments a disabled child is entitled to claim in 2017.

Payment name	Payment amount, rubles
Social pension	12 082,06
EDV, including NSO	2 527,06
NSO, including:	1 048,09
free medicines and health food	807,94
free voucher for spa treatment	124,99
free travel in suburban railway transport, or intercity transport to the place of treatment and in the opposite direction	116,04

A disabled child is expected to receive a set of social services in kind, that is, in the form of specific services or medicines. However, the legislation does not prohibit receiving such a package in cash. To do this, you need to contact the Pension Fund, which appointed the child the payment of a social pension with a corresponding application.

Of course, in general, the decision to receive services in cash or in kind is made by the official representatives of the child, his parents or guardians. But it is worth remembering that the monetary replacement is so small that it will not replace the receipt of expensive medicines, or treatment in a sanatorium. In this case, it is necessary, of course, to take into account the interests of the child. However, under certain circumstances, a child cannot use a set of social services. For example, if it is impossible to go to a sanatorium, or use the right to travel intercity. In such a situation, the ability to compensate for unused benefits in cash is justified.

It should also be borne in mind that it is possible to get only from a part of the NSI, for example, from medicines and receive them in money, and use the rest of the services in full.

Benefits for families with disabled children

In addition to the payments that the state is intended for children with disabilities, there are also payments to families and other people who care for them. The monthly amount for child care in 2017 is:

• if the child is cared for by one of the parents (either a guardian, or a legal representative, or a trustee) - 5,500 rubles;
• if care is provided by another person - 1,200 rubles.

To receive such benefits, you must also apply to the Pension Fund at the place of residence or registration with an application from the caregiver. You will need to provide the same list of documents as when applying for a pension for a child, but additionally confirm the fact that the caregiver is not currently working. Such documents will be a work book and a certificate from the employment service confirming that the person submitting the application does not receive unemployment benefits.

The care allowance will be transferred together with the disability pension in the manner determined when the application was made.

The procedure for paying a pension and the method of receiving it

A social pension for children with disabilities is paid monthly from the moment of its appointment, but not before the date of the emergence of the right to it. A feature of the pension payment for a disabled child is that the child can receive it either by himself or through a representative (one of the parents, guardian, trustee or adoptive parent). You must choose one of the following methods for issuing a pension:

• Using the services of a credit institution, in this case, the pension is transferred to the personal account. In this case, you can withdraw money at the cash desk of the bank, or through an ATM. Additional commission is not charged;
• Using the services of the Russian Post, receive a pension at home, or directly at the post office. When choosing this method, a specific date for its receipt is set, based on the pension delivery schedule. In this case, payment may be made later than this date, but within the delivery period. The end date of the payment period is different for each post office;
• Using the services of other organizations that deliver pensions, receive a pension at home or at the organization's cash desk. The list of organizations that deliver pensions can be clarified at the Pension Fund.

A disabled child has the right to receive a pension on his own upon reaching the age of 14. A trusted person can also receive a pension, for whom a notarized power of attorney is drawn up for a period of one year or more. Initially, the choice of delivery method is made in the application for the payment of a pension. In the future, when changing the delivery method, you must submit a corresponding application in person or electronically. Read also the article: → "".
