If a citizen of the Russian Federation has health problems that provoke restrictions in terms of performing certain tasks or leading a normal lifestyle, he may receive a disability group. In this case, it is not the disease itself that is important, but its effect on the condition, on daily functionality, etc. When the group is received (in our case, in this article we are talking about disability group 3), a person with disabilities receives a pension, various benefits and can take advantage of the preferences provided by law. Next, we will tell you in detail about the list of ailments that allow you to obtain the status of “disabled” and how it all turns out from the point of view of social security.
Documents for registration of 3rd disability group
Article No. 7 of the Federal Law “On Social Protection of Disabled Persons in the Russian Federation” No. 181-FZ obliges a potential disabled person to undergo a medical and social examination (MSE), based on the results of which the commission members will give a group, focusing both on the state of health and other significant factors. But to pass the ITU, you need to prepare documents. First of all, you will need a referral from a doctor stating:
- health status and compensatory capabilities of the body;
- degree of dysfunction;
- a list of rehabilitation measures that were carried out for the purpose of recovery.
You can get a referral from a clinic, social security or the Pension Fund. The last two organizations require medical documents as proof that the applicant’s health is not all right. If for some reason it was not possible to take the referral, you can request a refusal at the place where the corresponding paper was not issued, in order to independently contact the ITU bureau with this refusal. Next, members of the special commission will assess the extent of restrictions.
But in addition to the direction, you will need documents such as a certificate of income, a work book, and, of course, a passport (photocopy and original). You cannot do without an outpatient card and an application (instead of a potential disabled person, by the way, his representative by proxy can handle the paperwork). If the applicant is studying or working, a reference from the educational institution or employer is required. When it comes to cases of loss of health at work, you will need a certificate of industrial injury, etc.
When is disability group 3 given for a general illness?
III disability group
— established for a period of 1 year. The criterion for establishing disability group III in 2021 is a violation of human health with the II degree of severity of persistent impairment of body functions, caused by diseases, consequences of injuries or defects (i.e., persistent moderate impairment of functions of the human body, caused by diseases, consequences of injuries or defects, in range from 40 to 60%), leading to the first degree of severity of restrictions in the following categories of human life in their various combinations, which determine the need for his social protection, namely:
- the ability to self-service with a longer time commitment, fragmentation of its implementation, reduction of volume using, if necessary, auxiliary technical means;
- the ability to move independently with longer time spent, fragmented execution and shorter distances, using auxiliary technical means if necessary;

Passage and results of ITU
If a person is seriously ill, you can conduct an examination at home, or, if your health is not so complicated, at the office at your place of residence.
At ITU, commission members examine a potential disabled person, study the social and living conditions in which he lives. Labor capabilities and psychological characteristics are also taken into account. During the examination, a protocol is drawn up in the form enshrined in the Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated October 17, 2012 No. 322n. The protocol includes:
- the date when the application for passing the ITU was submitted;
- day of the expert review;

- information about the housing where the applicant is located;
- place, purpose and grounds for conducting the examination;
- terms of relevance of the assigned disability;
- examination results and conclusion;
- the reasons why a person acquired the status of a disabled person;

Based on the results of the ITU, an act is drawn up and information about the disabled person is also written down in it, and the cause of the disability is indicated with the types and degree of limitations.
For how long is the third group given?
Don’t forget to set the date for the next commission - for group 3, re-examination takes place once a year.
If the assignment of the group was provided, a mark is placed about this. Important
: if a citizen with a disability does not appear at the ITU commission or the commission does not find grounds for extending the disability, then the citizen loses the status of a disabled person and is deprived of all privileges in the form of benefits and payments.
When is the 3rd working disability group given?

Also, let’s not forget about the benefits for sanatorium-resort treatment - vouchers are periodically issued through social security free of charge to maintain health at a stable or good level, as far as possible for a particular disabled person.
Diseases for which disability group 3 is given
According to experts, there is no clear list of ailments that allow one to qualify for the group in question. At the same time, rules have been created that give an idea of specific diseases and their impact on the disability group (for example, the criteria for establishing disability are presented in the “Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated January 29, 1997 No. 1/30 “On approval of classifications and temporary criteria used in the implementation of MSA”, as well as in the “Appendix to the Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation of January 29, 1997 No. 1/30).
In particular, group 3 can be given when:

Insurance pension for a disabled person of group 3
This amount refers to monthly payments. The payment relates to subsidies, which are classified as follows:
- state;
- insurance: the calculation takes into account the base coefficient and length of service. With work experience of more than 20 years, the size of the pension increases significantly;

PC – the amount of pension capital located in the Pension Fund, etc.;

When is disability group 3 given for diabetes?
If the internal organs have not suffered to the maximum, but the disorders do not allow one to lead an active lifestyle, that is, the condition is on the border between severe and mild, it is appropriate to talk about assigning group 3.
In addition, restrictions on self-care and work are taken into account (grade 1). In the latter case, group 3 is often given to young people with diabetes, in which they can learn a new profession, where physical and mental work is easy, and neuropsychic stress is moderate.
Let us note that the reason for assigning the appropriate status for diabetes will not be the disease itself, but the anomalies of the body provoked by it. If ITU specialists have confirmed that you cannot do without a group, in the future you can take advantage of free insulin injections, tests to measure blood sugar levels, etc.
Amount of daily allowance for disabled people of group 3 in 2021

Features of some categories of disabled people of group 3
They are not much different from each other, but it is worth mentioning. Let's take a closer look.
Disabled since childhood
Group 3 disabled children have the right to small preferential compensation, which consists of the following:
- exemption from property taxes;
- when creating your own business there is no registration fee;

- if a disabled person from childhood owns a plot, the tax base is significantly reduced. In this case, the discount is about 10,000 rubles;
- tax deduction for personal income tax: in the amount of 500 rubles monthly, including the tax period.
Based on this, we can say with confidence that group 3 children with disabilities have a sufficient number of privileges for normal life in our country.
Invalids of war
Disabled people from this subgroup have the same privileges as other disabled people of group 3, only with a slight amendment. According to current legislation, if a disabled person does not work, he has the right to receive the necessary documents free of charge.

In this case, the minimum threshold is about 5,500 rubles. These funds are indexed taking into account the regional cost of living.
