Every year, different categories of pensioners and people of pre-retirement age are interested in the amounts of payments due for disabled people.

No one is immune from situations where health can be irrevocably deteriorated, and even the best doctors cannot restore it. In this case, people rely on social benefits, and when they retire, they are interested in pension assistance from the state. Next, we will consider pensions by disability group in 2021 and many other issues that will help you understand the issues of pension payments.

Compulsory health insurance

How is a disability pension calculated?

The pension that disabled people receive every month can be calculated only using two formulas:

1. Social pension + EDV
2. Labor pension + EDV

Social pensions are received by those people with disabilities who:

1. do not have insurance experience (have not worked a day);
2. disabled children;
3. were injured while committing a crime, regardless of whether they had experience.

Labor - assigned to those categories of disabled people who have any insurance period, regardless of its duration (that is, to those who have worked at least one day).

EDV is a monthly cash payment, which by its nature is compensation for medications, transportation, etc., if a person refuses the NSO. It has a fixed size, but is subject to annual indexation, which takes place on February 1 of each year.

NSO is a set of social services that is provided in kind. It includes free:

1. provision of medicines;
2. Spa treatment;
3. travel to and from the place of treatment both within the city and outside it.

The Pension Fund (it is this body that deals with the calculation and payment of benefits) gives people with disabilities the right to choose - to continue using the NSO or switch to the EDV. Both types of assistance are not provided at the same time.

Due to the fact that many disabled people, especially the third group, feel relatively well and maintain normal physical activity, they simply do not need some social services. Therefore, many refuse NSI and instead receive monetary compensation in the form of EDV. You can refuse some of the services - then the Pension Fund will recalculate the cash payment.

From 02/01/2017 its size is set at:

Amount of social pensions

From April 1, 2021, the pension was indexed. Current data on its size is given in the table.

Example No. 1 . Eremenko has been disabled since childhood, group 1. Subject to indexation, starting from April 2021, he receives 12,231.06 rubles every month. In addition, he uses a set of social services, so his EDV is 2,489.55 rubles. This means that in just a month he receives assistance from the state in the amount of 14,720.61 rubles.

What benefits and payments are available to a disabled child and his parents in 2020?

How is one-time assistance paid? Every year the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decides on the amount of the annual one-time payment of cash assistance for war invalids. This assistance is timed to May 5th.

In addition, additional assistance may be provided to widows/widowers (who have not remarried):

• disabled war veterans;
• war participants who received disability status during their lifetime.

Payments are made for the entire duration of the disability.

Women who reach the age of 59, and men - 65 years old, receive pension payments for life.

If the group is changed to a higher one, payments in the new amount are made from the date of its change. If the group status is lowered, the new amount will be valid from the beginning of the month following the change. If during a periodic examination a person is found healthy, he continues to receive payments until the end of the current month.

In addition, it is necessary to undergo periodic medical examinations. Failure to appear for a periodic medical examination on time may result in termination of payments from the beginning of the next month. If the reasons for failure to appear are recognized as valid or the person has been re-received the status of incapacity for work, he will be reimbursed for all missed payments, but not more than for three years.

If, when re-assigning the status, the group was changed, the amount of missed payments is accrued according to the previous group. However, if the status is reassigned more than 5 years from the date of cancellation of payments, the pension is calculated according to the new conditions.

If an able-bodied parent (guardian or other person) is caring for a child who requires constant supervision and is unable to work for this reason, he can count on a special monthly allowance. For the provision of care, each disabled child or disabled child of group I is entitled to a payment in the amount of:

• 10,000 rub. - if care is provided by a parent, adoptive parent or guardian (before June 30, 2019 it was 5,500 rubles, but now it has been increased);
• 1200 rub. - if another person is caring for you.

Disabled people of groups II and III since childhood are not entitled to this benefit.

In addition to cash payments, children with disabilities and their parents are provided with many benefits designed to improve their standard of living. Assistance is provided for each disabled child whose family has grounds for receiving benefits and payments, and not based on the actual need of the family. That is, all these types of assistance are assigned regardless of the financial situation of the family.

Provided that a disabled child or a person disabled since childhood has passed the entrance examination to a higher or secondary specialized educational institution, he must be admitted without competition. But only on the condition that studying at a particular institution is not contraindicated based on the results of the medical examination.

When entering a university under a bachelor's or specialist's degree program, a disabled child or a person with disabilities from childhood of groups 1, 2, 3 is provided with the following benefits:

• the opportunity to enroll without entrance exams on a budget;
• admission within the quota upon successful passing of exams;
• preferential right to admission (if an applicant without benefits and a disabled person have the same number of points, preference is given to the latter);
• free education in the preparatory department, if the child has no contraindications to study in this institution.

These benefits can only be used once, so you should choose your educational institution and future specialty very carefully.

When submitting an application to an educational institution, the following documents must be provided:

• statement;
• identification;
• confirmation of the applicant’s special rights (certificate of disability);
• conclusion of the medical-psychological-pedagogical commission (PMPC);
• conclusion about the absence of contraindications to study in this institution.

Amount of disability pension

It is individual for each case. It can be calculated using the formula:

P= BC+MF+LF , where

BC – the basic part, which is strictly fixed and does not change (except for indexing cases);

SP – the insurance part, consisting of the amount of pension savings (PC) divided by the product of the months (T) remaining before the payment of old-age benefits by the standard length of service in relation to 180 months (K);

NC – the funded part, which is formed from the full amount of savings (SA) taken into account in the special part of his account on the date when the funded part of the financial assistance was assigned, divided by the number of months of the expected period of payment of old-age benefits (T).

The formula can be written in more detail as follows:

P = BC + PC/(TxK) + PN/T.

The basic (minimum) amount of disability benefits depends on the composition of the family.

In 2021, the size of the disability pension for group 3 is:

For the second group:

For the first group:

How to calculate the insurance portion

STEP 1. To find out the midrange, you need to determine one of its components in the formula - this is PC. The amount of capital (PC) since 2010 is calculated using the following formula:

PC=PK1+PK2+SV , where PC1 is the conditional amount of insurance contributions paid for pensions before 01/01/2002, PC2 is the amount of insurance contributions starting from 01/01/2002 until the date of pension assignment, SV is the amount of valorization.

For those who started working after January 1, 2002, the formula PC2 + SV is used to determine PC.

STEP 2. PC1, in turn, is the ratio of the average monthly earnings of the insured person to the average monthly salary in the Russian Federation for the same period. It is calculated by the formula:

(RP - 450 r) x T , where

RP - the estimated size of the labor pension determined for insured persons in accordance with this article;

450 rubles - the amount of the basic part of the old-age labor pension, which was established by the legislation of the Russian Federation as of 01.01. 2002;

T is the expected period of payment of the old-age labor pension.

In this formula, the unknown is the RP. It is calculated using the following formula:

RP = SK x ZR / ZP x SZP , where

SC - length of service coefficient, which for men with a total work experience of at least 25 years, and women with a total work experience of at least 20 years, is 0.55 and increases by 0.01 for each full year of total work experience in excess of the specified duration , but not more than 0.20;

ZR - the average monthly earnings of the insured person for 2000 - 2001 according to individual (personalized) records in the compulsory pension insurance system or for any 60 consecutive months of work on the basis of documents issued by employers or government agencies;

ZP - average monthly salary in the Russian Federation for the same period;

SWP is the average monthly salary in the Russian Federation for the period from July 1 to September 30, 2001 for calculating and increasing the size of state pensions, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation (1,671 rubles 00 kopecks).

Important! When you calculate your salary/salary, keep in mind that the result obtained should be no more than 1.2, and if it turns out to be more, you need to use a coefficient of 1.2 (in the example below this is exactly the situation).

STEP 3. Now let's return to the basic formula for calculating the SP. In it, T is the number of months before the payment of the old-age pension. In 2002, this value was set at 144 months. That is, those who retired this year use this figure for calculations. For those who retired in subsequent years, you can use the formula T=144+ n*6 months , where n is the number of years that have passed since 2002.

This calculation is applied until T is equal to 192 months. When the indicator reaches this value, another formula is applied T = 144+n*12 months , that is, a year is added.

Examples of already calculated T values ​​can be found in the table.

STEP 4. The K coefficient is calculated as follows: the standard number of months of insurance coverage is divided by 180 months. For disabled people under 19 years of age, this value is 12 months, and from the age of 19 it increases every year by 4 months until reaching 180.

An example of the calculation is shown in the table.

Example No. 2 . Ivanova G.V. I started applying for a disability pension on November 28, 2009. She has group 2 disability. She is 48 years old and has a dependent son, 14 years old. Insurance experience of Ivanova G.V. 25 years old, working – 24 years. Her average monthly salary from 1978 to 1982 (60 months) was 240, while the national average was then 173.82. The amount of insurance premiums paid is 1600 rubles.

The calculation of the disability pension in this case is as follows:

• First we calculate the RP. To do this, we calculate the insurance period: for 20 years – 0.55, but since there were 4 “extra” years “on top”, and for each “extra” year another 0.01 is accrued, the required value will be equal to 0.59. Now we calculate everything using the formula: RP=0.59*1671*1.2=1183.07(r) .
• Now we calculate PC1. To do this, we carry out the following calculations (1183.07-450) * 186 = 136351.02 (r), where 186 months is the period of expected payments.
• From 2002 to 2009, PC1 constantly increased by a specific factor. We need to take this into account, then we get 136351.02 x 1.307 x 1.177 x 1.114 x 1.127 x 1.16 x 1.204 x 1.269 x 1.075 = 501734.67.
• Now let’s add PC2 to PC1, that is, the amount of accruals from 2002 to 2009. Its size is 1600 rub. The total PC will be equal to 503334.67 rubles.
• Finally, we calculate the insurance part 503334.67./186*0.33=8200 (r), where 0.33 is 60 months/180 months.
• Taking into account the basic part for disability of the second group + the presence of a dependent, the total pension amount will be 8200 + 6,406.81 = 14,606.81 (r)

How to calculate the funded part

The funded part is taken into account when calculating the pension if the disabled person has reached the general retirement age: 60 years for men and 55 for women. Also, a mandatory condition for accrual is 5 years of insurance experience.

LF = PN/T, where PN is the amount in the savings account, T - in 2017 is 240 months.

Example No. 3 . Let's assume that Ivanova G.V. has already turned 55 years old. Then the funded part will be added to her calculated pension of 8,200 rubles. Let’s say her account has accumulated 245,550. Then the savings part will be 245,550 rubles / 240 months = 1023.125 rubles. The final pension amount will be 8200 + 1023 = 9223 (r).

State pension for disabled people: categories of recipients

The state disability pension is available to the following categories:

The size of the military pension is calculated by multiplying the social disability pension in accordance with the disability group by a certain coefficient.

*Military 1 – category of persons who received injuries, concussion during battles or in connection with the performance of other types of official duties that caused disability;

**Military 2 - persons who received injuries and injuries due to an accident during service, who developed serious illnesses not due to the direct performance of their duties, but during their performance.

Moreover, if representatives of these categories have dependents, then 1,441 rubles are additionally paid to their pension for each dependent.

Example No. 4 . Tonkachev L.V. received 2nd group disability during testing at the test site. He is dependent on a minor son and a retired mother. His pension will be 8,008.51 rubles x 2.5 + 1,441 rubles x 2 = 20,021.275 rubles + 2,882 rubles = 22,903.275 rubles, and if rounded - 22,903 rubles.

The amount of disability benefits for astronauts depends on their salary. Thus, for disabled people of groups 1 and 2, the pension is calculated in the amount of 85% of the salary, and for disabled people of group 3 - in the amount of 50%.

State payment

This type of benefit is assigned to citizens who suffered in the Chernobyl disaster, in military operations (concussion, wounds, etc.), and to cosmonauts. But the mandatory conditions are injuries received during or after 3 months of service. Injuries inflicted through the fault of a serviceman associated with a violation of the Civil Code and the Civil Code indicate the assignment of only a social pension.

Amounts of state social and material benefits, from social pension:

1. For military personnel: due to military trauma – 175%; disease acquired during service – 150%.
2. For those injured at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant – 125%.
3. WWII participants – 150%.
4. Astronauts – 50% of wages.

Amount of child's disability pension

We should immediately distinguish between the categories of “disabled children” and “disabled children since childhood.”

The size of the pension for disabled children from April 1, 2021 is 12,231.06 rubles. They also have the right to receive a monthly allowance, which is 2,527.06 rubles without NSS or 1,478.09 rubles taking into account receipt of assistance in kind.

As for those disabled since childhood, depending on the group in 2017 they will receive:

History of changes in the amount in rubles

On April 1 of each year, the amount of disability payments increases. This is called indexing. This changes the growth of disability pension payments, that is, every year disabled people are paid more.

Comparative analysis of fixed payments by year. 2015, in rubles/month:

• without dependents – 2192;
• with one – 3653;
• with two – 5114;
• with three – 6575.

EDV – 1700.23

2016:

• without dependents – 2191.8;

• without dependents – 2402.56;
• with one – 4004.26;
• with two – 5605.96;
• with three – 7207.66.

EDV – 2022.94

In 2021, pension payments to disabled people have increased significantly.

Benefits for disabled people of groups 1 and 2

Speaking about what benefits a disabled person of group 1 has and what benefits a disabled person of group 2 is entitled to, it is worth noting that in 2021 there were no changes in their standard “set”.

They still have the right:

1. travel free of charge in public transport around the city, except for fixed-route and regular taxis, as well as to the place of treatment (+ free for accompanying persons);
2. receive free prescription medications from a doctor;
3. receive materials for dressings and equipment free of charge (according to indications);
4. have a free vacation or treatment in a sanatorium once a year, no more than 3 times from the date of receipt of disability;
5. use prosthetic services from a dentist for free;
6. receive prosthetic limbs free of charge;
7. receive free orthopedic shoes;
8. be enrolled out of turn in secondary educational institutions and universities, subject to successful passing of exams;
9. receive an increased stipend;
10. work on a special schedule - 35 hours a week.
11. a 50% discount when paying bills for major repairs (except for disabled people of both groups, families with a disabled child are also provided)
12. a 50% discount on housing and communal services if a disabled person lives in public housing;
13. a 50% discount when purchasing an MTPL policy;
14. be exempt from paying property tax upon inheritance;

17. for a tax deduction in the amount of 500 rubles from the tax base for personal income tax.

New benefits for disabled people of group 2 in 2021, as well as for representatives of other groups, were not introduced. Is it worth mentioning the payment in January to all Russian disabled people without exception in the amount of 5,000 rubles.

Dependent's supplement

Now let's take a closer look at which group of disabled people, who care for one or more people, are entitled to additional payments to their pension. The numbers increase several times and amount to very significant amounts.

1. For 1 group. The state undertakes to pay 14,224.50 rubles. every month for disabled people of this group who have 2 dependent people. If there are 3 unemployed people in care, then the amount increases to 16,002.56 rubles.
2. For group 2. If a disabled person has 1 person to support, then additional payments amount to 7,112.25 rubles. If the number of unemployed people in a family reaches 2, then the assistance will be 8,890.31 rubles. More than two dependent people - the amount will be 10,668.37 rubles.
3. For group 3. As already mentioned, group 3 is provided with the smallest additional payments to pensions, regardless of the number of unemployed people. Having 1 dependent gives a disabled person the right to benefits in the amount of 4,445.16 rubles. For 2 dependents it will be 6,223.22 rubles. And if there are 3 people it will be 8,001.28 rubles.

When talking about what kind of additional payment to a pension if a pensioner has been given a Group 2 disability, you need to take into account that there may be several reasons for providing additional funds. For example, these are transfers to citizens who support minor children.

The amount of the supplement depends on how many disabled persons the disabled person provides.

The payment amount is as follows:

• if 1 dependent – ​​1/3 of the social pension;
• if there are 2 persons supported – 2/3;
• 3 or more disabled people – 100%.

As of 2021, social benefits for this category of citizens amount to 5,334 rubles. Not only the parent, but also another legal representative of the minor has the right to receive additional payment.

In addition, persons supporting disabled relatives, including parents or spouses, can apply for this type of allowance. The existence of grounds for receiving additional payments is confirmed upon reaching the age of 55-60 years, depending on gender or disability status.

We invite you to read: Full Individual Responsibility Agreement 2020

• 3 or more dependents – 10,668 rubles;
• 2 dependents – 8890 rubles;
• 1 dependent – ​​7112 rub.

Dependents – disabled parents, children, spouse. They are disabled people, children, citizens of retirement age.

Benefits for disabled people of group 3

The list of benefits for people with group 3 disabilities is much smaller, but at the same time it is supplemented by various labor benefits, since many of them work:

1. 50% discount on the purchase of necessary medications and medical equipment;
2. 50% discount on public transport;
3. discount on the purchase of orthopedic shoes;
4. 50% discount when purchasing an MTPL policy;
