Disability pension: the amount of payments. State pension A disabled person has the right to choose

A disability pension is called a state social payment, it is due to people who, in whole or in part, cannot be considered able-bodied. This fact must be confirmed on the basis of medical and social expertise. After it, the group is assigned and disability provision is made. It has enormous social significance. Helps people who have injuries or illnesses that prevent them from leading a normal life and work, provide for their livelihoods, develop, carry out rehabilitation procedures and adapt to limited living conditions.

The amount of pension for disabled people of different groups

The allowance is regulated by the Federal Law of July 24, 2009 N 213, in accordance with which the monthly payment is calculated, as well as state benefits, the possibility of their monetization. In 2019, they are calculated according to the schemes presented below, for each category, respectively.

1 group

Disabled 1 gr. persons are recognized as completely disabled, who need constant care, unable to work in a team, responsible for their actions and deeds. Perhaps the appointment is untimely for people whose conditions are recognized as incurable, or negatively progressing. There are also diseases in which disability is assigned for a period of 2 years.

In 2019, the average amount of benefits for 1 gr. is set at 10668.38 rubles. This indicator is minimal. For each region, an individual regional coefficient is assigned, on the basis of which funds are calculated. In addition to this amount, the recipients are paid an additional UDV of 3,750.30 rubles.

Additionally, there is a supplement for dependents, monetization of benefits and reimbursement of expenses for medicines and rehabilitation equipment, which are prescribed by the attending physician.

2 groups

Disabled 2 gr. citizens with disabilities who have temporarily lost their ability to work, requiring special working conditions and organization of the workplace can be considered. People suffering from oncological diseases, visual impairments, brain diseases, insufficiency of vital organs, pulmonary system and others are included.

Monthly payments can be calculated by choice, based on a fixed amount of social benefits or calculated as insurance (according to the formula below). The condition for obtaining is a work experience of at least 1 working day. Expect for 12 months, after which a re-examination is required.

The size of the pension for the 2nd group of disability is 5334.19 rubles. The exception is the disabled since childhood. They are paid 10,068.53 rubles.


It is impossible to receive both benefits, except for the cases prescribed in the Federal Law “On Social Assistance to the Disabled”. The categories of citizens who can count on receiving social and insurance benefits include:
  • veterans of the Blockade;
  • soldiers who were injured in the service;
  • some participants of the Great Patriotic War;
  • astronauts;
  • refugees from radiation zones who received radiation.

Insurance is calculated according to the formula below.

EDV is fixed and added to the amount of social benefits. In 2019, they pay 2678.31 rubles.

3 groups

Citizens who cannot work in their profession, due to their state of health, have the opportunity to be employed in lighter industries or, if special working conditions are provided, they can receive 3 gr. disability.

In this case, a person has the right to choose whether he will be assigned a social pension and EDV, or insurance and what they pay extra for unused benefits.

The appointment of a social disability pension is fixed and amounts to 2667.09 rubles. To this amount is added monthly UDV in the amount of 2,144 rubles.

Calculation rules

The payment of an insurance pension for disability depends on the length of service and the capital accumulated over the years of work, the recipient's capital. The calculation is made according to the formula:

TPPI \u003d PC / (T x K) + B, where

PC - pension capital, its size can be individually found in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. It is calculated based on the amount of capital on the date from which it is planned to start the payment. Capital is accrued from taxes paid on wages.

T - the time that is supposed to pay the old-age insurance benefit, since 2013 is 228 months = 19 years.

K is the proportional ratio of the insurance period to 180 months. He can't be anymore. Accordingly, the coefficient will either be equal to or less than it.

B - the basic amount of disability benefits corresponding to gr. (for example, the minimum base rate for a single disabled person without a dependent is 2402.56 rubles).

For example, Lyubov Grigoryevna issued an insurance pension for disability 3 gr., Having accumulated capital in the amount of 400,000 rubles. Her work experience is 180 months (coefficient 1). She is single, has no dependents, respectively, the basic amount of the insurance payment is 2402.56 rubles.

The monthly payment under these conditions will be equal to: 400,000/(228*1) + 2402.56. As a result, Lyubov Grigoryevna will receive monthly 4156.38 rubles and a single monthly income of the third disability group.

You can also use an online calculator to calculate. You can find it on the official website of the FIU. The calculator will help you figure out what kind of pension people with disabilities receive, what it consists of and calculate the amount.

How to receive

Without bureaucratic procedures now nowhere. Therefore, in order to assign a disability pension, you must confirm your status, undergo a medical examination and register with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

Procedure for receiving payments to the disabled:

  1. The first step is to contact the local therapist or the attending physician. He is obliged to issue a referral for examination, certificate 0-86\U-06.
  2. To pass the examination, it is necessary to undergo a medical examination and collect evidence of disability.
  3. With medical indications, certificates, other documents, you must contact the local social and medical examination and prove the inability to provide for yourself, work and lead a normal life. At this stage, a group is established, the relevant papers are provided.
  4. After passing the examination, a certificate of incapacity for work will be in hand. With it you need to contact the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

Annually it is required to confirm the status, to undergo re-examination. For the first group, this procedure is repeated every two years or completely removed in case of futility (absence of a limb, incurable diseases).

Relatives can collect and submit documents by proxy from the patient. In addition to calculating a pension, a disabled person is assigned an individual rehabilitation plan, technical means for ensuring life, adaptation, and positive dynamics of the disease. Including undergoing treatment in sanatoriums, equipment for the room, a wheelchair, etc. (depending on the group).

Also, the Pension Fund of Russia may require additional documents for the assignment of benefits. To reduce the time of registration and consideration of the application, it is better to provide them immediately:

  • certificate from the Tax Service at the place of residence: 2-NDFL;
  • from the housing department about the composition of the family;
  • birth certificate of minor children (or if the disabled person himself has not reached the age of majority);
  • on the presence of dependents;
  • civil law contract, contracts from the current place of work, municipal authorities to receive benefits for paying utility bills.

Competent authorities

The main competent authorities for the appointment of a disabled pension are now a medical and social examination, based on the decision of which disability will be established, as well as the relevance of receiving social benefits by a person.


With the decision of this service and a package of documents, you must contact the Pension Fund at the place of residence. It is there that a pension case will be opened, the amount of security will be assigned, the monthly payment of funds will be made, and additional information will be provided.

You can contact the SME only on the basis of a referral from the attending physician, therefore, medical services will become the first competent authority where you should contact for subsequent paperwork.

Types of disability pensions

In Russia, people with disabilities who cannot provide for themselves are entitled to three types of benefits. To obtain them, you must prove compliance with certain conditions. It happens that a person can choose what type of social payments he will receive. This happens when the group, as well as the conditions for obtaining, match the criteria with several species at the same time.

Social

All persons with disabilities are entitled to cash payments. Including those who do not have work experience, children who were injured upon reaching 18 years of age. Also, social benefits can be received by those people who have a short working period and the amount of the insurance pension is too small. At their choice, they can apply for the minimum security according to the regulations.

Labor

Such provision can be received by people who have work experience. The pension is calculated taking into account the accumulated amount of insurance premiums. In this case, the calculation will be made based on the total number of accumulated contributions, taking into account the expected period of receipt of funds from the state budget. A person has the right to refuse to receive a labor pension in favor of a social one, if its amount is higher.

To be appointed, several prerequisites must be met:

  • had a work experience of 1 day or more;
  • disability of the 1st degree (complete loss of working capacity);
  • the injury is not related to criminal activity.

To increase the allowance, documents on dependents can be provided (provided individually for each minor family member).

To increase, it is possible to use the monetization of benefits offered by the state. To do this, you need to submit an application to the FIU with a request to recalculate the entitlement privileges and add the amount to monthly payments.

EDV

UDV is called the monthly cash supplement to the disability pension. Replaces the social benefits that a disabled person is entitled to receive according to the relevant group. The EDV will consist of several parts. By his own decision, a citizen has the right to receive financial security in full or in part.

EDV is different for each category of privileged citizens. If a person falls under several of them, then he can choose for himself which EDV he will receive. You can choose the highest payout.

The EDV is made up of:

  • repayment of the amount of medicines prescribed by the attending physician (50-100%);
  • free travel in public transport;
  • sanatorium treatment;

You can refuse any allowance to receive it in kind.

Pension reform 2018-2019

The sensational pension reform of 2018-2019 will only indirectly affect privileged categories of citizens. For the disabled 1 gr. pension will not be increased. They will be able to recalculate by age according to the current law, so you should not worry ahead of time.

The increase in working years for citizens has made it possible to significantly save PFR funds, which will be used to increase social benefits for disabled people and active pensioners. The minimum amount in 2019 will be 12,730 rubles for 1 gr., 10,609 rubles, as well as 5,304 in the ratio for 2 and 3 gr. It is also planned to increase the CEV by more than 4.1%, which will exceed the amount of annual inflation. How much this percentage will be exactly is still a question. Amendments to 181 FZ will be made by February next year. At the same time, recalculation will be made, so at the beginning of the month, pensioners will see changes in financial security.

According to available information, the law will also be amended: pensioners of 3 gr., as well as persons who have reached the elderly age, will be charged an allowance if the benefits are less than the minimum wage of the region of residence or the average for the country. In the Moscow region this figure is the highest, provision for pensioners will reach the same level.

Conclusion

In 2019, a significant increase in payments to the disabled category of citizens is planned. Funds from the state budget of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation are aimed at improving the living conditions of the privileged segments of the population. It is also planned to increase subsidies, which can also be monetized, receive compensation for equipment and funds for rehabilitation. The question of the exact size is still under discussion by the authorities.

The minimum amount of funds paid for disabled citizens will be in relation to the regional subsistence minimum, how much exactly it will be is still unknown. Getting benefits won't get easier. All bureaucratic procedures will remain the same, except for the opportunity to make an appointment with a doctor, as well as in the SME and Pension Fund of the Russian Federation on the website of public services.

For each individual region, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation pays additional amounts of assistance. You can find out how a disability pension and additional payments in your area are assigned on the official website of the department. The latest news, legislative acts, lists of documents, changes in charges, regional subsidies and their size are also published there.

Certain categories of Russians who have health problems that led to the assignment of a disability group are entitled to a state disability pension. Who is entitled to it, how it is issued and how much it is, is discussed below.

State disability pension - what is it, what regulation regulates it, who is entitled to it

Russians who, in accordance with the established procedure, are recognized as disabled, that is, persons with health disorders and a persistent disorder of vital functions, which are the consequences of an illness or injury, which cause restrictions on life activity and the need for social protection, are entitled to receive one (or several at the same time) of the following pensions:

  • state.

The State Disability Pension is a state payment assigned to support certain categories of disabled people and ensure their vital needs.

The right to it, as well as the algorithm for its appointment and payment, are regulated by the Federal Law of 15.12. 2001 No. 166.

The recipients of the disability pension under the state pension provision include the following categories:

Conditions for granting a state disability pension

A state disability pension is due to military personnel if the disability:

  • acquired during service.
  • came no later than a quarter after dismissal from service;
  • came later than a quarter after the dismissal from the service, but was the result of an injury received on it or an illness.

When assigning a state pension to the second and third categories of persons, neither the group of their disability nor the reason for receiving it is taken into account. However, if the disability was the result of illegal acts or intentional infliction by a participant in the Great Patriotic War or a resident of besieged Leningrad, or by other categories of harm to health indicated above, they are entitled to a social pension.

Citizens who became disabled as a result of the Chernobyl or other catastrophe are granted a state pension if they have at least one day of work experience.

When calculating pension payments to cosmonauts, the length of service does not matter.

The state pension is assigned:

  • for the period of disability determined by the ITU;
  • for life with re-examination upon application - disabled people over 60 years old (men) and over 55 years old (women).

Missing the deadline for re-examination is fraught with the suspension of the payment of pension funds to a disabled person, and the revision of the disability group entails a change in their volume.

The amount of the state disability pension in 2018

Factors affecting the amount of disability state pension:

  • category of recipient of pension payments;
  • group and cause of disability;
  • dependents in care;
  • the amount of the social pension (since the state pension is calculated as a percentage of it);
  • place of residence;
  • indexing.

The amount of the state pension, taking into account them, is given in the table:

Category of pension recipient Additional terms Disability group % of the amount of social pension
1. Military personnel Cause of disability - military injury 1 300
2 250
3 175
The cause of disability is a disease suffered during service 1 250
2 200
3 150
2. Residents of besieged Leningrad X 1 200
2 150
3 100
3. Participants of the Great Patriotic War X 1 250
2 200
3 150
4. Victims of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant X 1 250
2 similarly 1 gr.
3 125
5. Astronauts X 1 85% of the monetary allowance provided for by the Regulation approved by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 17, 1993 No. 455
2 similarly 1 gr.
3 50% cash allowance

If a disabled person maintains disabled dependents, the basic amount of social pension required for calculating state payments is increased by 1,653.28 rubles. (for each of those, but no more than 3 people are taken into account).

If a disabled person receiving a state pension lives in or equivalent areas, the amount of the pension is increased by the regional coefficient (the value of which varies from 1.15 to 2).

Moving a disabled person to areas with normal climatic conditions determines the amount of the state pension without taking into account this coefficient.

Indexation of the state disability pension in 2018

April 1 took place, which is the basis for calculating disability state pensions. Now its size will be:

  • 12577.42 rubles instead of 12082.06 rubles - for disabled people of the 1st group;
  • 5240.65 rubles instead of 5025.34 rubles - for disabled people of the 2nd group;
  • 4454.58 rubles instead of 4279.14 rubles - for disabled people of the 3rd group.

The size of the state pension, determined as a percentage of social payments, also increased automatically.

In addition to the disability pension under the state pension provision, the above-mentioned categories of citizens, having reached the age specified by law, having gained experience and pension points, are also entitled to apply for insurance. Registration is also carried out through the FIU in the presence of supporting documents.

Calculation examples

  1. Citizen Suvorov I.V. has a 2nd disability group, received as a result of a military injury. There are no dependents. How much will his state disability pension be?

The size of the state disability pension Suvorova I.V. – 250% of the social pension. Therefore, it will be:

5240.65 rubles x 250% = 13101.63 rubles

  1. Citizen Suvorov I.V. has a 2nd disability group, received as a result of a military injury. Two dependents. How much will his state disability pension be?

(5240.65 rubles + 1653.28 rubles x 2 people) x 250% = 21368.03 rubles

  1. Citizen Suvorov I.V. has a 2nd disability group, received as a result of a military injury and lives in Murmansk. There are no dependents. The northern coefficient is 1.4. How much will his state disability pension be?

The amount of the state disability pension:

5240.65 rubles x 250% x 1.4 = 18342.28 rubles

  1. Citizen Suvorov I.V. - a former soldier who received an injury resulting in disability while participating in hostilities in Chechnya. Should he get a pension increase?

Yes, seniority pensions granted to persons with disabilities who became such as a result of a military injury are increased by the amount of the minimum disability pension (Article 106 of the Law of February 12, 1993 No. 4468-1).

The most common form of state pension payments is associated with a person reaching a certain age when he can "go on a well-deserved rest." The disability pension has a different specificity - this payment is received by those who, due to their physical indicators, are often unable to work, which is confirmed by the relevant document - an act of medical and social examination. However, disability does not necessarily mean a lack of employment. Many people with disabilities can work very successfully and efficiently.

What is a disability pension

In accordance with the definition of current legislation, a disabled person is a person who has a health disorder and impaired body functions due to a disease, defect or injury that limits his life. Disability is established by the federal department of medical and social expertise (ITU), appointing the first, second or third group. A recognized disabled person is entitled to state monthly payments, which are assigned to citizens by the Pension Fund of Russia.

Types of disability pensions

Pension legislation distinguishes three types of disability pensions:

  • Insurance - obtaining this type of security implies that by the time of the onset of disability, the person had a seniority. At the same time, the cause of disability and the moment of its onset, as well as the duration of the working biography, do not matter. If in order to establish state insurance benefits in the usual form, it is necessary to reach the retirement age, then this is not necessary.
  • Social - is assigned to disabled children, disabled children, and representatives of groups I, II and III who do not have work experience.
  • State - it is assigned to the military, astronauts and liquidators of man-made disasters who have been injured and seriously ill as a result of the performance of official duties. This also includes participants in the Great Patriotic War and residents of besieged Leningrad.

The amount of the disability pension

Depending on the assigned group and other factors, the amount of state pension payments varies, so more information is needed to answer the question of how much they pay for disability. According to their tariffs, they will receive benefits: a child with cerebral palsy (13,560.15 rubles) or a military pensioner with a length of service who is seriously wounded in combat operations (28,830.66 rubles).

For recipients of insurance pensions, in addition to fixed payments, in some cases, supplements are charged (for family members with disabilities, etc.), which significantly increase the final result. In its pure form, the dimensions of the base part from February 1, 2017 are:

  • For group I - 9,610.22 rubles / month.
  • For group II - 4,805.11 rubles / month.
  • For group III - 2,402.56 rubles / month.

The amount of social pensions also differs depending on the category of recipients:

  • For group I - 10,068.53 rubles / month.
  • For group II - 5,034.25 rubles / month.
  • For group III - 4279.14 rubles / month.

Minimum disability pension

The structure of the state insurance payable consists of two parts, and although payments are made in total, they can be decomposed into separate components. In this case, the base part represents the minimum amount that a person can receive without additional surcharges (for example, if he has a very small work experience and he is not entitled to anything else). In such cases, it is necessary to make a choice in favor of a social pension - this is allowed by law.

Allowances

In addition to the insurance part in the presence of seniority, the total amount of pension provision for an individual may be supplemented by other allowances. These can be monthly cash transfers (MU) that are received by those who have refused a set of social services in kind. The main directions included in the TCU, which can pay in the form of a financial equivalent, are as follows:

  • provision of necessary medicines and medical devices;
  • sanatorium-resort provision with vouchers to health-improving institutions;
  • free transportation to and from the place of treatment.

How to issue

In order to apply for state social security, you must complete the following steps:

  1. Obtain an official disability certificate. This process is carried out by the federal structures of the ITU, with their help the category of a pensioner is established.
  2. Gather a package of documents and prepare an application.
  3. Provide the necessary papers to the Pension Fund (persons who have gone abroad or do not have registration should contact the central office at the address - Moscow, Shabolovka, 4).
  4. The deadline for registration is 10 days from the date of submission of the full package of documents, and the pension for the disabled will be considered from the date of application.

Conditions for granting a disability insurance pension

If to receive social state security, it is enough that the disability is established, then for the calculation of payments under the insurance scheme, the length of service is mandatory (at the same time, this type of pension is established regardless of the duration of the work activity). In addition, this pension option will depend on the size of the fixed payment, which is influenced by the following factors:

  • I, II or III group of disabilities assigned to a citizen;
  • the presence of dependents (disabled family members);
  • duration of labor activity in the regions of the Far North.

Documentation

The list of documents that you submit to the Pension Fund must include:

  • application in the prescribed form;
  • passport;
  • ITU act;
  • SNILS;
  • a work book or an agreement with the employer confirming the duration of the insurance period (not necessary for the social option).

How is disability pension calculated?

For an example, see how to calculate the amount of a disability payment, if you have an insurance period. When calculating, a special pension coefficient is used, which is formed due to seniority and transfers to the Pension Fund. The basic formula looks like RP = MF + FS, where:

  • RP - pension amount;
  • MF - insurance part;
  • FS is a fixed amount.

In this case, MF \u003d PC x SB, in this formula:

  • PC - the amount of accumulated pension coefficients;
  • SB - the cost of one point (in 2019 - 78.28 rubles).

This can be seen in a specific example: the cause of disability of group I for a person with 10 years of insurance experience is an industrial injury. It is necessary to calculate the amount of the state payment if the total score is 27.6. Substitute the values ​​and find out how much you have to pay:

  • MF \u003d 78.28 rubles. x 27.6 = 2160.53 p.
  • Since the fixed state payment for group I is known, then RP = 9610.22 rubles. + 2160.53 rubles = 11770.75 rubles.

How is it calculated

The social security of the disabled in Russia, in addition to state payments calculated for different categories of pensioners, also provides for indexation coefficients in order to keep up with the level of inflation. For example, from February 1, 2017, the insurance pension and the fixed payment to it were indexed by 5.4%, increasing this disability benefit for socially unprotected segments of the population.

Suspension and termination of payment

The legislation analyzes in detail the cases when the provision of pensions for persons with disabilities may be limited. The payment of the assigned pension is suspended until the situation is clarified or the interfering circumstances are eliminated in the following cases:

  • if social security is not received for six consecutive months;
  • when within three months, a disabled person does not come for a scheduled re-examination;
  • when a pensioner leaves for a permanent place of residence in a foreign state.

The pension is terminated if:

  • the recipient dies;
  • a period of more than six months passes from the date of suspension of extradition and the situation is not resolved;
  • in case of loss of the right to the assigned security;
  • when a disabled person reaches the age, for the appointment of an old-age insurance pension.

Pension for disabled children

This category includes children under 18 years of age with diseases and disabilities that interfere with normal life. Their pension provision can be called high (over 13.5 thousand rubles), compared with other categories of disabled people. In addition, the families of such children are also entitled to significant benefits (for example, they do not have payment for preschool institutions).
