In the Russian Federation there are 3 types of disability pension payments:
Disability insurance pension. This type can be obtained by citizens who have been recognized as disabled groups 1, 2, 3 by federal medical and social examination institutions if they have insurance experience. Its duration does not matter; a person can work even one day. It also does not matter whether you have a job or the reason for the disability. In order to receive a disability insurance pension, you must provide the following documents to the Pension Fund office: an application confirming certificates of disability and group, as well as a work book indicating your length of service. Social disability pension. This type is awarded to disabled people of groups 1, 2, 3, as well as disabled people from childhood and disabled children if they do not have work experience. In order to apply for a social disability pension, you need to provide an application, a passport and an extract from the ITU act, which indicates information about the disability group and the period. The social pension is intended for citizens who permanently reside in the Russian Federation. State disability pension. This type of pension can be received by military personnel, participants in the Great Patriotic War, as well as citizens who suffered from man-made and radiation disasters and astronauts. In order to apply for a state disability pension, you need to collect documents such as an application, passport, and so on. The fact that a disabled person works matters.
Will there be an increase in pensions for disabled people in 2021?
The issue of increasing pension payments is relevant at all times. Due to the small size of pensions, disabled pensioners who need additional support to ensure normal life activities are especially worried. For each group of disabled people, the increase will be carried out individually.
Group 1 disability is considered the most severe, and it also requires more funding. In this category there is a factor that directly affects the amount of payments - this is the reason for which the group was received (the presence of an occupational disease or work injury).
If a citizen has become disabled under unfavorable conditions, the pension will be paid by the Social Insurance authorities. If a person receives a salary and has been disabled since childhood, pension payments will be accrued in the amount of 30% of the working salary.
As for pension payments for disability of the second group, the latest news cannot give specifics about the increase in pensions next year. But we can say with confidence that there is simply no money in the state budget for this event.
What influences the formation of the payment amount?
This year, minors and adult citizens of the Russian Federation who have been assigned disability group 3 are entitled to a standard social disability pension in the amount of 4,491.30 rubles. .
Reference! Citizens who, for various reasons, do not have insurance coverage have the right to a social pension. A labor pension is a payment received by citizens who have the necessary work and insurance experience.
The fixed minimum pension depends on whether the disabled person has dependents:
- Single people receive 3,022.24 rubles.
- Citizens who have 1 dependent under their guardianship will receive 5,037.07 rubles.
- Disabled persons who have 2 dependents are entitled to 7,051.9 rubles. monthly.
- People who support 3 incapacitated people can count on financial assistance in the equivalent of 9,066.73 rubles.
Important! The total amount of preferential financial support for disabled people depends on their marital status. You can find out what money you can get from the authorities, the necessary documentary materials, conditions, from a representative of the Pension Fund or log into the online portal of the Pension Fund in the subscriber’s personal account.
Dmitry Medvedev – on indexation of social pensions
In March 2021, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev announced that he had signed a decision to index social pensions from April 1, 2021 ; 10 billion rubles from the budget will be spent for these purposes.
“I signed the decision to index social pensions from April 1. We do this by law every year. The document approves the size of the coefficient by which pensions are increased. Now we are allocating about 10 billion rubles for these purposes,” Medvedev said at a government meeting.
The signed resolution approves the indexation coefficient of social pensions from April 1, 2021 in the amount of 1.029, according to the Cabinet of Ministers website.
The head of the Cabinet added that the indexation will affect approximately 4 million people. In addition, according to the Prime Minister, other payments will be increased, the amount of which depends on the level of indexation of social pensions.
Amount of third group disability pension in 2021:
How is the amount calculated?
Let's consider how the pension of an individual with a third disability group is determined.
Insurance part of pension
This payment represents certain amounts of compensation with which the state tries to equalize the income level of a person with a disability. It does not depend on the cause of disability, the length of his work experience, or whether he has dependent persons.
Its size is not affected by when the group was established - before work, during working hours, or after. To assign it, it is important that the person applying for a disability pension is insured in the compulsory pension insurance system.
How have pensions changed over the last 5 years?
In 2012, the government established a fixed social pension, which depended on the amount of labor. In 2013, indexation was carried out on April 1. Now this date has become permanent for this procedure, taking into account the cost of living of the previous year. In 2021, pensions for disabled people were indexed by 4%, as an economic crisis has been “reigning” in the country for many years.
According to the results, this year the amount of pension payments for disabled people was: first group - 9,920 rubles, second group - 4,960 rubles, third group - 4,215 rubles. Pension payments were accrued in the amount of 11,920 rubles to disabled children of the first group since childhood and disabled children. And for disabled people of the second group since childhood - 9,920 rubles.
Dynamics of the indicator over the past years
Over the past seven years, the level of pension provision has increased annually by a certain percentage. Both insurance coverage and its social variety were subject to indexation. If we are talking about an insurance pension, then it is :
- How much was added in 2010? The size increased by 6.3%.
- With the onset of 2011, it increased by 8.8%.
- When 2012 came, it increased by 10.65%.
- In 2013, it grew by 10.12%.
- When 2014 arrived, its growth was 8.31%.
- In 2015, the indexation level reached 11.4%.
- For 2021, the pension has increased by 4%.
- In 2021, it grew by 5.4%.
How much pensions will be increased can be understood by analyzing the indicators for previous years.
However, we must not forget that social security also has its own history of growth.
According to her:
- In 2010, pensions increased by 12.51%.
- In 2011 it increased by 10.27%.
- With the onset of 2012, it increased by 14.1%.
- When 2013 came, the security increased by 1.81%.
- In 2014 it was 17.1%.
- When 2015 came, its level increased by 10.3%.
- Upon the arrival of 2021, the indexation level was 4%.
ATTENTION : From this we can conclude that it is impossible to predict an increase in pensions if you do not track fluctuations in the inflation rate in Russia for a specific period.
The amount of payments will largely depend on this factor.
What was the last increase in pensions for disabled people?
For disabled pensioners who live in difficult conditions of the Far North and equivalent areas, for the duration of their stay in this area, the regional indicator will be additionally applied to the amount of pension payments.
If a citizen leaves for permanent residence in another area that does not have a coefficient, the amount of the pension will be subject to recalculation.
Social pensions will be subject to indexation taking into account the legislation. The last increase in pension payments was carried out in 2021 by 2.6%. This information was provided in accordance with macroeconomic forecasts of the Ministry of Economic Development.
Additional cash payments for disabled people
Payment for disabled people who received a combat injury
A disabled person of group 3 who received a combat injury while serving is entitled to an additional monthly DEMO payment.
It is paid additionally and does not replace regular pensions, EDV and other cash payments. Citizens with disabilities are entitled to a payment of 1,000 rubles.
To receive these funds, you must contact the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at your place of residence and submit an application there along with documents confirming the right to pay.
Attention! The accrual of funds begins from the next month, which follows the month of application to the government agency.
Calculation of additional payment for disabled people of group 3 for a dependent
The size of a disabled person's pension depends on the number of dependents living with him. According to the law, for each person he is paid 1/3 of the social pension, but no more than 3 people can be taken into account.
In addition, for a disabled person of the 3rd group there is a reducing coefficient of social pension of 0.5.
Thus, payments for a disabled person are:
- If he lives alone - 2667.09 rubles;
- Together with 1 dependent - 4445.15 rubles;
- Together with 2 dependents - 6223.22 rubles;
- Together with 3 dependents - 8001.28 rubles.
Children under 18 years of age (or up to 23 years of age if they are in training), elderly parents or a disabled spouse can become dependents.
Regional surcharges
Every disabled person, regardless of group, has the right to receive an additional pension supplement in the form of a monthly allowance. Moreover, it includes not only cash, but also a set of services in kind.
The size of the EDV, provided that social services are provided in full, in 2021 is 1041.25 rubles.
The set of social services includes providing the disabled person with medications, providing a voucher to a medical institution if there are medical indications, and free travel to and from the place of treatment.
A disabled person can refuse one service or all. In the latter case, he will be paid an additional 1,121.42 rubles.
Thus, the total amount of benefits for complete refusal of services is 2162.67 rubles.
How much will pensions for disabled people be indexed in 2021?
“Even with such a difficult situation for the country and a lack of state budget in 2021, the indexation of pension payments will be carried out in full, this applies to all categories of pensioners,” said Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets.
In 2021, it was not possible to carry out full indexation, as the inflation rate was 12-13%. The pension was increased by the target coefficient, and not by the actual one, since this was quite difficult to do.
In 2021, pensions for disabled people will be indexed according to the inflation rate for the previous year. Despite various forecasts of expert analysts, the increase will be by 4.5% in 2021, and by 4.4% in 2021.
As for retirees who continue to work, there may not be an increase for them.
What was the last increase?
The last increase in payments was in April 2021 by 4.1% due to indexation of 11.9%.
At the same time, benefits and pensions have been increased for everyone, regardless of when the citizen received disability.
Pensions for persons with disabilities in 2021 depending on the group:
- 2974 rub. - first;
- 2123 rub. - second;
- 1700 rub. - third.

- 9919 rub. - persons with a second one (upon reaching 65 years of age, they are paid an additional 4,959 rubles every month);
- 4215 rub. - citizens with the third.
Possible surcharges
Disabled people of the third group should continue to receive additional payments in 2021. There are many options here. For example, those who have worked for 15 years in the Far North and have a total experience of 25 years for men and 20 years for women should be paid 3,737.18 rubles. in the form of a fixed payment (provided that there are no dependents). If there are three of them, then the disabled person is entitled to 11,211.52 rubles on the same basis.
If we are talking about areas equated to the regions of the Far North, then the payment will be slightly less - 3238.89 (without dependents), 9716.65 rubles. (with three dependents). The conditions are as follows - 20 years of work in these areas, total experience - 25 and 20 years (men and women, respectively).
For pensioners who did not work in such conditions, but live there, in addition to their disability pension, they receive an increase by the regional coefficient. Residents of the capital have significant additional payments. The concept of the City Social Standard has been in effect here for several years. It represents an attempt to determine the real level of living wage. For 2021, the GSS amount was 17,500 rubles. If the total income of a group 3 disabled person does not reach this amount, you can apply for an allowance. Other regions of the country have their own local support measures.
