State disability pension: groups 1, 2 and 3, conditions of assignment, size, design, features for different categories

A labor disability pension is assigned from the day a person is recognized as disabled, if the application for it follows no later than 12 months from this date. The social pension is assigned from the first day of the month in which the citizen applied for it, but not earlier than from the date the right to it arises.

disabled people from childhood, group 1, disabled children - 13,454 rubles 64 kopecks per month.
disabled people of the 2nd group since childhood, disabled people of the 1st group - 11,212 rubles 36 kopecks;
disabled people of group 2 (except for people with disabilities since childhood) - 5606 rubles 15 kopecks.
disabled people of group 3 - 4765 rubles 27 kopecks per month.

If one person has the right to receive two types of benefits at the same time, he needs to choose between a disability pension and an old-age pension, just one. The state does not impose a specific decision, inviting recipients to compare for themselves which allowance will be more acceptable to them.

Disabled people who do not have a single day of work experience are entitled to a social pension. It traditionally increases from April 1. The latest news suggests that the draft PFR budget for 2021 plans for an indexation level of 1.5%, although earlier the Head of the PFR spoke about a coefficient of 2.6%. Thus, the amounts will be:

In addition, from August 2021, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation has switched to a non-declaration procedure for assigning monthly cash payments to disabled people and disabled children. Now, citizens who have received one or another disability group for the first time, or disabled children, do not need to personally apply to the Pension Fund to assign a monthly cash payment towards a disability pension. Social benefits will be assigned to them on an undeclared basis within 10 days from the date the person is recognized as a disabled person, a disabled child, according to information received by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from the Federal State Information System “Federal Register of Disabled Persons”.

Concept

State pension provision is the provision of compensatory payments to persons who have lost their ability to work, but do not have grounds for assigning them an insurance pension. In fact, such a payment is the only source of livelihood for many citizens.

However, it should be noted that state provision is a fairly broad concept. It includes payments that are made if the following grounds exist :

Reaching a certain age. As a rule, when reaching retirement age, citizens can count on an insurance pension. However, certain categories of citizens have the right to calculate state support, calculated according to rules different from those provided for when calculating insurance-type material payments.
Length of service. Military personnel, as well as employees of other law enforcement agencies, can count on security based on length of service (that is, the number of years of service).
Reaching the age limit for being in the civil service. A state pension on this basis is assigned to state civil servants.
Loss of a breadwinner. Financial support of this type is assigned to the dependents of a deceased citizen who served in government or military service. As a rule, they are his children.
Disability. Assigned to military personnel, as well as certain categories of citizens who have lost their ability to work due to illness or injury.

In this article, we will separately dwell on the features of the state disability pension.

Disability should be understood as permanent loss of ability to work in whole or in part. In this regard, a person cannot fully fulfill his official and labor duties, and therefore financial payments are established for him.

Reference! Disability is also the basis for the assignment of an insurance pension, therefore only disabled people belonging to certain categories of citizens can count on state support.

What is a disability pension benefit?

The word “disability” means a condition of a person in which he has limitations that do not allow him to fully function in society due to various injuries or physical, mental, mental or sensory development of the body. To recognize a citizen as a person with disabilities, a number of medical and legal procedures are necessary. Such people are provided with special rights, and the state at the federal and regional levels provides them with benefits, payments and subsidies.

Disability pension is a fixed cash benefit paid monthly by the state to citizens with partial working capacity. Allowance in 2021 is assigned to persons who have been assigned disability category 1, 2 or 3 and have never worked. The payment occurs throughout the entire period when a person is recognized as having disabilities due to the specific characteristics of the body.

In what cases is a social pension awarded?

A payment that is guaranteed by the state and to which Russian citizens and stateless persons permanently residing in the Russian Federation are entitled is social pension. Unlike other payments, to receive funds there are no requirements for work experience, because a disabled person who has worked even for a minimum amount of time receives a labor (insurance) pension.

To assign a social disability pension in 2021, several conditions must be met:

Permanently reside in one of the regions of the Russian Federation. Citizens who leave the country for permanent residence lose the right to receive social support.
Do not have work experience or length of service (unlike other types of pension payments received by military personnel, liquidators of accidents at nuclear power plants, residents of besieged Leningrad and other persons with the possibility of early retirement);
Document the status of a person with disabilities.

Who is entitled to

Current legislation directly establishes the circle of persons who have become disabled and have the right to government benefits. These include:

Military personnel. It has been established that if a disability was acquired during the period of service, the serviceman has the right to this type of support. However, it should be taken into account that in this case a direct connection between the loss of ability to work and the performance of official duties must be established. Both conscripts and contract soldiers have the right to count on state support on the basis under consideration. In addition, this type of support is received by employees of various law enforcement agencies.
Astronauts. Cosmonauts may receive a state-assigned disability pension if their ability to work was lost in connection with the performance of relevant tasks.
Participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster, as well as other persons affected by this. In this case, it is necessary to establish a connection between loss of ability to work and the effect of radiation on the body.
Participants of the Second World War. When disability occurs, participants in the Great Patriotic War have the right to government benefits, regardless of what caused it. This rule also applies to persons recognized as residents of besieged Leningrad.

In addition, most of the listed categories of persons have the right to simultaneously receive a disability pension and an insurance pension, if there is a reason for this (length of service).

Attention! “Chernobyl victims” cannot receive two types of material support at once. However, they have the right to choose one of them. Accordingly, the choice remains with the type in which the payments amount to a larger amount.

The size of the pension is not the same for different categories of beneficiaries. In addition, it directly depends on the group of assigned disability.

Caregiver's benefit

Citizens caring for a disabled person have the right to receive benefits, which amount to 1,200 rubles (5,500 for a disabled child).

But pensioner assistants must meet the following criteria:

lack of work;
capacity;
age 16-55 years (for men – 60 years);
lack of additional income, including from the Employment Center, from business activities, and so on;
proper care without harming the disabled person;
the caregiver lives in the same locality as the disabled person.

To apply for benefits , the caregiver must submit to the Pension Fund the following list of documents:

Passport details.
Application from the disabled person and the person supervising.
Certificate from the Employment Service.
Work records of both.
ITU Act.
Certificate of absence of pension contributions.

Pension Fund employees review the documentation within 30 days. If the decision is positive, the additional payment is made from the beginning of the new month along with the disabled person’s pension.

Payments to the caregiver are terminated in situations such as:

Death of one of the parties.
Returning to work or assigning pension contributions to the caregiver.
Changing of the living place.
Placing a disabled person in a nursing home.
The disability period has expired.
Violation of the law by a caregiver towards a disabled person.

Appointment procedure

To assign the payment in question, a citizen must confirm the fact of loss of ability to work, and then contact the authority that makes the monthly transfer of funds. Let's look at these stages in more detail.

Features of passing the examination

Disability is established based on a decision of a specialized body. In other words, the presence of a particular diagnosis in itself is not a reason for establishing this fact.

Confirmation of incapacity for work and establishment of a disability group is carried out by a commission of medical and social examination. It includes both medical specialists and social workers. Based on the documents submitted by the person or his representative, as well as (if possible) interviewing the person, the commission comes to the conclusion about the possibility or impossibility of recognizing the citizen’s loss of ability to work.

It should be noted that when deciding whether to recognize a person as disabled, not only the state of the person’s health is taken into account, but also the nuances associated with his social activities and adaptation. Based on the decision made, the citizen or his representative is issued an ITU conclusion, which is the basis for establishing a pension.

Military personnel and law enforcement officers are recognized as disabled not during the medical examination, but within the framework of a special military medical commission (MMC). The conclusion of the IHC also becomes the basis for applying for pension payments.

Important! After receiving the conclusion of the ITU or IHC, a citizen can apply for the assignment of financial support at any time.

Collection and submission of documents

After passing the IVC or ITU, the citizen should contact the appropriate authority , which will make payments. Thus, military personnel and law enforcement officers apply to the departments where they served, and citizens of other preferential categories apply to the Pension Fund of Russia.

Conscripted military personnel also apply to the Pension Fund for a pension. When applying, you must have a package of documents with you. Its completeness may vary depending on the specific situation and category of the beneficiary, but the main condition for assigning this type of security is the presence of an ITU or IHC conclusion.

Do I need to confirm the group annually?

Current legislation stipulates that disabled people must undergo re-examination every year. This is necessary due to the fact that the patient’s condition may improve or worsen. Accordingly, if the health status changes, the disability group may be changed or the citizen may be completely deprived of this status.

However, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 95 of February 20, 2006 establishes a list of diseases and conditions for which disability is established indefinitely. As a rule, these are severe pathologies, the cure or correction of which is impossible.

Amount of disability payments in 2021

The amount of material payments directly depends on the category of persons who are assigned a disability group, as well as, in fact, its degree.

Military personnel

What matters to the military is what exactly caused their disability. Thus, the legislator distinguishes between war injury and illness. Trauma should be understood as a health impairment that is directly related to the performance of service duties.

Thus, contract military personnel can count on a pension, which is calculated from their allowance at their last duty station.

Base	Group I	Group II	III group
War trauma	85%	85%	50%
Disease	75%	75%	40%

The amount of support for conscripts is calculated as a percentage of the established social pension. The size of the social pension in 2021 is 5,796.78 rubles.

Base	Group I	Group II	III group
War trauma	300%	250%	175%
Disease	250%	200%	150%

WWII veterans

Calculated based on the size of the social pension:

Group I – 250%;
Group II – 200%;
Group III – 150%.

Also, veterans of the Great Patriotic War are entitled to benefits and subsidies.

Astronauts

Calculated as a percentage of salary:

Groups I and II – 85%;
Group III – 50%.

Is the size different for cancer?

Oncological diseases are a whole group of pathologies associated with the appearance and progression of malignant tumors in the human body. The degree of damage to health, pathogenesis, treatment methods and prognosis for them can be very different.

In this regard, the fact of having oncology is not a basis for additional financial payments. When an oncological diagnosis is made, the degree of disability is assessed, after which a disability group is assigned and a corresponding pension is assigned.

Features of assigning a pension

Pensions for disabled people of group 2 in 2021 are divided into two types - insurance and social. To receive social benefits, you will only need to provide a medical certificate confirming the assignment of second degree disability. These accruals are not affected by any factors: length of service, availability of work, cause of disability, etc.

An insurance pension requires work experience. The duration of receiving the payment depends on the period for which the disability was established, or on the amount of time worked and pension points. If the length of service is less than 15 years and the points are less than 30, then upon reaching the age of 60 for women and 65 for men, disabled pensioners of group 2 are assigned an old-age pension (social). It should be noted that according to the law, disabled people can only receive one type of payment, so they will need to make a choice.

What is Social Disability Pension?

A social pension is paid if the ability to work has been lost in a person who does not belong to a preferential category and has no work experience.

The amount of security in this case is extremely low. It should be noted that at the regional level, such a citizen may receive bonuses. Also, persons who have reached the age of retirement, but do not have grounds to receive insurance-type payments, can count on a social pension.

Labor pension

A labor (insurance) pension due to incapacity for work due to illness is paid to persons regardless of their age. The most significant basis for its establishment is the presence of insurance experience. In this case, its duration does not matter.

Having worked for at least one day, a person already has the right to apply for this type of security. However, the size of such a pension directly depends on the length of service - the longer it is, the greater the amount of amounts paid will be.
