Increasing pensions for disabled people and disabled children in 2021

Disabled people are among the most vulnerable citizens. It so happened that even the difference in age does not affect the situation in any way. A person becomes completely dependent on the help of third parties, as a result of which he receives support from the state in the form of social benefits. More than 8% of people with disabilities live in the country, and this percentage is increasing every year.

Indexation of pensions for disabled people in 2019

Information was released on the projected increase in benefits in 2021, in accordance with inflation. According to some data, this coefficient will amount to an additional payment of 3.5-4%. A more accurate amount will be established after the planned recalculation on May 1, 2019. Members of the government voiced the following reasons for its implementation:

Devaluation of the state currency.
Inflationary growth.

Natural resources have become noticeably more expensive compared to the past period, as a result of which the state treasury has been replenished with financial resources. Based on this, the government has set a course for increasing pensions for disabled people in 2021. How much they will add will be discussed in the article.

Social pensions in 2021

Payments to vulnerable groups of the population are provided to different categories of citizens. These include people with disabilities of various groups, disabled children, as well as people with disabilities since childhood. The last category is taken into account only in case of permanent residence in the country.

Since March 2021, government members have unanimously voted for Resolution No. 247. It recalculated and indicated the exact indexation coefficient for social and insurance pensions - 4%.

If we consider this percentage in numbers, then the amount with additional payment is as follows:

third group - 6302 rubles;
second and children of war - 7561 rubles;
first and group 2 disabled children - 12,595 rubles;
disabled children of the 1st group and disabled children - 13,607 rubles.
