Payments to disabled children from February 1, 2021

Pension for disabled children in 2021 - latest news indexing

Most of the social support measures for disabled people in the Russian Federation are implemented through the Pension Fund (PFR).
Disabled children, as a more socially vulnerable category of the population, are provided with support measures such as a social disability pension, a monthly foreign currency payment (MCB) and a set of social services (NSS). Unemployed able-bodied persons caring for a disabled child under the age of 18 are also entitled to a monthly payment in the amount of 1,200 or 5,500 rubles (more about additional social benefits for disability). Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed increasing the allowance for caring for disabled children, as well as for disabled youth of group I, from 5.5 thousand to 10 thousand rubles . This proposal was voiced as part of the Address to the Federal Assembly as one of the measures to support families with children. The configurations will come into force on July 1, 2019 .

Will there be a pension supplement for disabled children in 2019? Social pensions for disabled children are indexed every year on April 1, taking into account the growth rate of the pensioner’s cost of living. In 2021, the monthly payment amount will increase by 248.65 rubles. and will amount to 12681.09 rubles. Until April, the pension amount remains at the level established in 2021 (12432.44).

Pension for disabled children from January 1, 2021: how much will be added

In 2021, there were no significant changes in the situation of families with sick children. Parents or guardians received pensions in the amount of 60% of the minimum wage. At the same time, they provide a report on the funds spent. Money should only be spent on the maintenance of children with disabilities.

For disabled people of group 1, the pension is currently 8,647 rubles, group 2 – 4,323 rubles, group 3 – 3,675 rubles. In the regions of the country, assistance programs for families with disabled children have been additionally developed and began to function.

Since these families have increased utility costs due to the additional expense of caring for a sick child, they are provided with a 50% discount on all housing expenses, including telephone fees.

What is Social Security Disability Pension and who receives it?

The basis for assigning a disability pension in the Russian Federation is the recognition of a person as disabled, which is carried out during a medical and social examination (MSE). Disability is assigned based on the following criteria :

Persistent disorders of body functions, which are caused by diseases, consequences of injuries or deficiencies.
Limitations of life activity (self-care, movement, communication, orientation, behavior control, learning).
The need for social protection measures.

All citizens of the Russian Federation, as well as stateless persons and citizens of other countries who permanently reside in our country, have the right to establish a social pension. With all this, the social disability pension is provided:

disabled children;
disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3 (adults), including disabled people from adolescence.

Distribution by disability group is used only for people with disabilities who have reached adulthood (category “Disabled since childhood”). Disabled children under the age of 18 form a separate category ; such systematization is not applicable to them.

In this regard, a social pension for a disabled child is established for a period determined by the ITU Bureau, but less than until he reaches the age of 18. Then the citizen may be recognized as disabled from adolescence , and depending on the disability group, the size of the social pension may decrease.

Amount of disability pension in 2021 for disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3

In Russia there are three types of disability pensions: insurance, social and state. They will all grow slightly in 2020. Formally, growth will even exceed last year’s inflation. What is the exact amount of the disability pension in 2021 in Russia for disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3 - let’s look at the information from the Pension Fund.

Disability insurance pensions

This pension is issued to disabled people who have at least one day of insurance coverage. Let us remind you that the insurance period includes not only the time of official work, but also other periods listed in the law. For example, caring for an elderly person over 80 years old, being on parental leave, etc.

Let us recall that the final amount of the insurance pension consists of two components: a fixed payment (“base” of the pension) and the value of the pension points accumulated by the person. Everyone has their own number of points, which explains the different amount of pension.

But the fixed payment as the basic part of the pension is the same for all pensioners who belong to one or another group. In the case of disabled people, the logic is as follows:

disabled people of group I receive 200% of the fixed payment;
disabled people of group II – 100% of the pension “base”;
disabled people of group III – 50% of the fixed payment.

Insurance pensions in Russia were indexed on January 1, 2020 – by 6.6%. After this indexation, the fixed payment amount is:

for group I – 11,372 rubles. 50 kopecks;
for group II – 5686 rubles. 25 kopecks;
for group III – 2843 rubles. 13 kopecks

But that's not all. The fixed payment to the disability pension may be higher if there are additional reasons for this.

These reasons are:

presence of dependents;
living in regions where “northern” regional coefficients apply;
work experience in the Far North.

The table will help you understand the amount of the fixed payment to the disability pension for disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3 from January 1, 2021 in all such cases. published on the Pension Fund website:

Social disability pensions in 2021

Social pensions are paid to disabled Russians who permanently reside in the country. Here we are already talking about a fixed amount of pension. It is the same for all disabled people of one group or another.

The social pension can be higher only due to regional coefficients - in the most severe northern regions the coefficient doubles the pension. In other cases the coefficient is lower.

Social pensions will be indexed from April 1, 2021. Last year's amounts apply until the end of March.

For now, we are talking about the fact that the indexation of social pensions will happen at a more or less normal percentage - 7%. At least that's what federal officials promised.

At the same time, it is worth keeping in mind the history of last year. Before the start of 2021, it was promised that social pensions would increase by 2.4% in April.

But even such a modest increase was eventually cut - at the end of February it became known that they had decided to increase social pensions by only 2%.

After 2021, with its inflation of 4.3%, this meant a decrease in the real size of social pensions in Russia. Let's hope that in 2021 officials will keep their promise.

The following table shows the amounts of social disability pensions until March 31, 2021, as well as the provisional amount starting from April 1. The government's final decision on the percentage of indexation of social pensions in April must be expected closer to the end of winter.

* – subject to indexation of social pensions by 7%.

State disability pensions

Such pensions are paid in special cases. The law provides for state pensions for disabled people of four categories:

conscripts who became disabled during service or within 3 months after demobilization;
Leningrad siege survivors and WWII veterans with disabilities;
disabled Chernobyl survivors;
cosmonauts who became disabled during preparation or execution of a flight.

For everyone except cosmonauts, the amount of the state pension is tied to the amount of the social pension for ordinary disabled people. Cosmonauts receive from 50% of their salary for life (disabled people of group 3) to 85% (disability groups 1 and 2).

For all other categories, the amount of disability pension is calculated as follows:

What documents are needed to design a disability pension:

A disabled person under the age of 19 , whose pension payment as a disabled child was stopped after his 18th birthday, also does not need to re-apply. An extract from the examination report is transferred by the ITU bureau to the pension fund, and payment is assigned automatically from the day the disability group is established.

Automatic allocation of pensions to disabled children

According to the deputy head of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, Grigory Lekarev, the procedure for obtaining services for people with disabilities may be simplified in the future with the introduction of electrical document flow .

The ITU Bureau will be able to automatically (without the role of the disabled person) transfer all the necessary information to the pension fund for the prompt purpose of payments immediately after the commission’s decision. There will be no need to submit an application to the Pension Fund even with the initial appeal.

At this step, the Ministry is preparing a corresponding bill for submission to the Government of the Russian Federation for discussion.

Methods and terms of receiving a pension

The applicant has the right, without the help of others, to choose the method of receiving the pension and the company that will deliver it. This can be indicated immediately in the application or the Pension Fund can be notified later. Then you can change your own choice.

Pension delivery methods:

Sphere of rehabilitation and education of disabled children

According to information received in the media, this time the increase will be 7%. Potential recipients were delighted with such progress.

In turn, pension consultants explain that the all-Russian pension reform is to thank for this. It provides for raising the age limit for working citizens of golden age.

In monetary terms, the payment should be 13 thousand 468 rubles. The increase will be about 888 rubles. You will have to wait until April next year for an increase.

Today, a tenth of the country's population has limited opportunities. There is an urgent need to increase the size of the disability pension in 2021. Rosstat announced sad statistics regarding the dynamics of the increase in the number of disabled people among the total number of residents of the Russian Federation. The circumstances have so developed that over the past 7 years the number of incapacitated citizens has increased by approximately 1 million. In addition, children are born with serious physical problems, which prevents them from existing 100% in society.

A disabled child of groups 1 and 2 has the right to receive education in various institutions:

General educational structures. For example, upon admission to kindergarten, a disabled child is given the right to priority enrollment, and his parents are not required to pay for tuition.
Organizations of a specialized type that are under the absolute care of the state.
Private organizations. In this case, payment is made at the expense of the parents or guardians.

Among other things, persons with disabilities can receive care or education at home. Every sick child has the right to undergo an individual rehabilitation program, which includes sanatorium treatment and a whole range of other medical services.

Parents, along with guardians of a disabled child, have the right to receive free medications and means for undergoing procedures according to prescriptions prescribed by doctors. In addition, the Government allocates some funds to provide free prosthetics, wheelchairs, orthopedic products, and so on.

We examined payments to disabled children. What benefits do parents receive?

If a child has passed the entrance exams, he can count on being admitted without taking into account competitions and certificate data. True, a significant drawback is that in a number of educational institutions there are restrictions related to health status. Therefore, in such a situation, admission to study at the relevant institution may be denied. However, when disabled children enroll in educational institutions, they are provided with the following benefits:

A child with a childhood disability can get into the budget without passing entrance exams.
Subject to successful passing of the exams, admission is carried out in accordance with the established budget education quotas.
In the event that applications with the same number of points were submitted, then the one who has benefits passes.

It should be noted that benefits are provided only once. For this reason, it is important to approach the choice of educational institution thoroughly. As part of admission to any educational institution in order to receive benefits, the following documents are required:

Application for admission to a university.
A document confirming the right to receive benefits.
Identification passport.
Conclusion of the medical commission on the condition of the potential applicant.
A conclusion confirming the absence of any contraindications.

Last news

By Resolution No. 339 of March 29, 2018, the Government of the Russian Federation approved a list of diseases for which disability can be established immediately ( during the initial examination ) and until disabled children reach 18 years of age ( for life for disabled children from adolescence). It included cerebral palsy, congenital anomalies and malformations, blindness and (or) deafness, autoimmune diseases, juvenile arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, epilepsy, acquired kidney disease, liver cirrhosis, etc.

In addition, the document specifies diseases for which disability can be determined in absentia (without the personal role of the disabled person): malignant neoplasms with severe intoxication, acquired pulmonary heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases of the brain, etc. In total, the list includes 58 diseases. The configurations will eliminate the possibility of determining the period for establishing disability at the discretion of a specialist in medical and social examination.

Correspondence med. examination may also be carried out in the following cases:

lack of positive results of rehabilitation (restoration of lost abilities) and habilitation (adaptation to the social environment);
residence of a disabled person in a remote or inaccessible area;
the general languid condition of the disabled person and the impossibility of his transportation.

According to the additions to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 95 of February 20, 2006 (clause 27.1), a disabled person (his legitimate representative) can invite any specialist who will also have the right of advisory vote .

How to calculate the amount of child disability benefits?

For this procedure you will need a special formula: P=FV*K.

Explanation:

P - pension;
FV - fixed amount of payments established by the state for the current year;
K is the indexing coefficient.

However, it is impossible to know in advance the percentage of future indexation. Although it is considered planned, this only applies to the event itself. Charges increase by the percentage of inflation for the previous year. This value must remain current until the next indexing or other resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation.

“The amount of benefits may be influenced by the territorial factor. This is due to the fact that all Russian citizens living in the Far North or areas close to it receive increased payments due to unfavorable climatic conditions. This rule also applies to disabled children.”

A Russian minor with any category of disability receives a salary of 12,082 rubles, so there are no minimum or maximum monthly allowances.

For adult citizens, the amount of benefits is also the same, but there are several options related to the assigned disability category.

What will change

The founders propose to increase the monthly allowance to 12 thousand rubles. The increase is provided:

able-bodied parents caring for a disabled child;
parents raising disabled youth of the 1st group (regardless of the latter’s age).

Currently, the amount of state assistance to these categories of people is:

5.5 thousand rubles for parents, adoptive parents, guardians;
1.2 thousand rubles – for all other persons.

Basis - Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On monthly payments” No. 175 dated February 26, 2013.

What is it permissible to spend a child’s disability benefit on?

State charges are issued to parents or guardians who choose a convenient option for receiving funds:

Bank account;
Bank card;
Cash in hand;
Postal transfer.

If we talk about further expenses, then there is no need to provide reports and receipts. However, the state expects that funds will be spent on one of the following options:

Food;
Baby clothes;
Payment for medical services;
Payment for medicines;
Payment for possible training.

There may be other goods necessary for the development of a minor citizen. However, these rules only apply to biological parents. If a disabled child is taken into care, his representatives must account for the expenditure of disability benefits so that there is no doubt that the money goes specifically to the sick child. Such a report is compiled for a year and must be submitted before February 1 of the following year. Receipts and checks must be attached to the report.

Indexing

Currently, the payment for disabled children is fixed, its amount is not indexed. The creators of the mentioned draft law propose to introduce annual indexation and link it to the index of price growth for the main groups of consumer products.

Indexation is planned to be carried out from February 1 of the current year, and price dynamics for the previous year will be taken as the basis for calculation. If the bill is adopted without amendments and additions, the indexation coefficient will be calculated by the Russian government once a year.

The time period during which municipal assistance is paid for the care of disabled minors and disabled youth, regardless of their age, is also planned to be increased. The document specifies a period of 3 years.

Features of pensions for parents with disabled children

The pension reform in the country has also made adjustments to the legislative acts regulating the early retirement of parents whose children are disabled. Until 2021, this could be done at 50 years old for mothers, and at 55 years old for fathers of such children. After 2021, the general retirement age will gradually rise by 3 years until 2024, increasing by 6 months each year during this period.

This is interesting: Putin’s speech on pensions in 2021

At the same time, the 5-year grace period remains unchanged, but it will shift simultaneously with the increase in the general retirement age. Thus, at the end of the pension reform in 2024, the right to retire if there is a small disabled person in the family will begin at 53 for mothers and at 58 for fathers. The issue of assigning a preferential pension to legal guardians will be considered similarly.

Benefit amount

The monthly payment for caring for a disabled child in 2021 in the amount of 12 thousand rubles is justified in the explanatory note to the document submitted for consideration to the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

The initiators of the changes in the current legislation motivate an increase in payments by almost 2 times the amount of the small salary. At the beginning of 2021, the minimum wage is projected to be 12 thousand rubles.

From May 1, 2018, the minimum wage is 11,193 rubles. With all this, the amount of benefits for parents raising disabled people has never changed since 01/01/2013 - the date of publication of the Presidential Decree on determining the amount of such payments.

If the State Duma supports the deputy initiative, the increased amount of benefits will be received by:

inhabitants of the Last North;
areas equivalent to it;
regions with complex climatic criteria.

The size of payments for them is planned to be calculated using a coefficient determined for a particular area. This is indicated in paragraph 2 of the Presidential Decree on monthly payments.

The coefficient will be applied to the basic benefit in the amount of 12 thousand, accordingly, parents raising disabled children and not being able to work full-time will receive an inflated payment.

Deadlines

A pension payment to a disabled child in 2021 is assigned from the 1st day of the month in which the application is submitted.

Social benefits due to disability are accrued for the entire duration of the person’s painful condition that caused limited life activity. Sometimes payments are made on an indefinite basis.

After reaching adulthood, a disabled child must undergo a second medical examination, during which a disability group is assigned. However, there is no need to re-register with the Pension Fund again, since the documents will be transferred by the BMSE members themselves.

Fate of the bill

The deputy initiative was preceded by a petition demanding an increase in assistance for the care of disabled children to 9 thousand rubles. It was signed by more than 500 thousand Russians. The signatories argued their position by saying that the government finished registering payments in 2013, and the actual amount of benefits does not cover the needs of children with disabilities.

In March 2018, the petition was received by deputies. The result of her research was the preparation of a draft law - the group that worked on it considered the parents’ demands to be justified.

What pension amount is due to a disabled child in 2018?

“Today, the size of the social pension for this category of citizens is equal to 12,082 rubles. This type of benefit is entitled not only to a child with a disability, but also to adult Russians who received the status of a disabled person before reaching adulthood.”

For children with disabilities, different rules apply, so the amount of accrual depends on the severity:

If a person has the first group of disability (accordingly, the person cannot take care of himself), then he is paid 12,082 rubles monthly;
If a person has a second disability group (can perform some tasks, but does not fully function), then he is entitled to 10,068 banknotes in national currency every month;
If a citizen has a third disability group (can partially or fully support himself by working at a job with special conditions), then the salary is 4279 Russian rubles.

Another type of social security for a child may be payment for the untimely loss of a breadwinner, who may be a parent, guardian or other legal representative.

The amount of accruals for the loss of a breadwinner is:

5024 rubles if a minor has lost one of his parents;
10,068 rubles if both parents are killed or died.

It is important to take into account that payments are not summed up if a person has a disability and then loses his breadwinner. In this case, you need to choose the most profitable charging option.

Fringe benefits

The government provides additional benefits to parents who care for children with disabilities. One of them is early retirement. One of the parents of a disabled person has the right to it:

The father has the right to retire at age 55 if he has 20 or more years of insurance experience.
Mom retires at the age of 50, provided that her total insurance experience is more than 15 years.

An indispensable condition for premature retirement is the upbringing of a child with a disability from adolescence until he turns 8 years old.

A mother caring for a minor offspring or a daughter with disabilities may work part-time. This right is defined by Art. 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

However, the employer does not have the right to:

Getting the mother of a disabled teenager to work overtime.
Send her on business trips without personal consent.
Reduce wages.
Deny employment.

Russian legislation protects mothers raising disabled people without fathers from dismissal. An employer can terminate an employment contract with them only if the enterprise is liquidated or the employee commits criminal acts.

Subtleties of application of legislation

That is, the mother of a disabled child in 2021 can (subject to all conditions) retire at 50.5 years old, and the father at 55.5 years old. By 2024, this period will already be 53 and 58, respectively.

A benefit is provided for those parents who, due to circumstances, could not go to work as ordinary citizens. Caring for and constantly being with a disabled child is assessed at 1.8 points for 365 days, that is, for 3 years of forced unemployment they will receive 5.4 points.

There are a number of other interesting conditions:

those parents who were deprived of rights to a disabled child do not have the opportunity to accrue a pension early, even if they cared for him for some time;
if the child is constantly in specialized institutions and in fact the parents do not care for him, but have the opportunity to work, they do not have the right to early retirement;
a parent who is not registered with a disabled child, even if he actually lives and cares for him, does not have the right to a preferential insurance pension.

What benefits and payments are available to disabled children in 2019?

In 2021, assistance to disabled children is provided in foreign currency (monthly payments and social pension, benefits to parents) or in kind (providing travel and medicines, providing spa treatments). Social support is provided not only to children under the age of 18, but also groups 1, 2 and 3 from adolescence A number of types of benefits are provided specifically for parents or guardians; they are provided with a deduction for personal income tax and the right to early retirement, as well as a number of labor benefits.

It should also be noted that in 2021, a new direction for spending maternity capital was added; certificate funds are now allowed to be used to receive compensation for purchased products and services for the social adaptation of disabled children. In addition, parents can apply for standard benefits assigned in 2021 (at the birth of a baby, care for up to 1.5 years, and others).

Additional payments for disabled children and their amounts in 2021

In addition to the basic disability pension, disabled children and disabled children are entitled to a monthly cash payment (MCB). It is paid by the local branch of the Pension Fund.

From February 1, 2021, the amounts of EDV in Russia are:

Disabled children receive 2,701.62 rubles.
Group 1 disabled children - 3782.94 rubles.
2 groups - 2701.62 rubles.
3 groups - 2162.67 rubles.

In addition, all Russian disabled people are entitled to a set of social services (NSS). You can choose in what form to receive such services, which include:

Vouchers for preventive treatment.
Medical food products, medical products and medicines.
Free pass.

Important

Persons who accompany disabled children of group 1 and disabled children also have the right to free travel and a voucher to a sanatorium, under the same conditions as the recipients of NSU themselves.

In addition, parents, guardians and adoptive parents who care for a disabled child or a group 1 disabled child receive 10 thousand rubles monthly from July 1, 2019. This is due to the fact that a person who constantly cares for a disabled person cannot work and, accordingly, is left without a source of income.

Let us recall that until July 1, 2019, the amount of such payment was 5.5 thousand rubles and was significantly increased by order of the president.

Important

Pensioners and persons receiving unemployment benefits are not entitled to payments for caring for a disabled person, because they have income.

If a disabled person is cared for not by a legal representative in the person of a parent or guardian, but by another person, he will be paid only 1.2 thousand rubles monthly.

Important

Funds from maternity capital can be allocated for the rehabilitation and adaptation of a disabled child.

Typically, a set of social services is provided in kind, for example, a voucher for free treatment. However, you can get a cash equivalent, which from February 1, 2021 is 1121.42 rubles per month.

This amount includes:

Medicines, medical products, medical nutrition - 863.75 rubles.
Vouchers to health resorts and sanatoriums - 133.62 rubles.
Free travel to the place of treatment - 124.05 rubles.

That is, if you refuse a trip to a sanatorium, you can receive monetary compensation. You can partially waive the NSU, for example, to receive medications, but not to use a voucher for treatment. The amount of monetary compensation included in the EDV will depend on this. Therefore, situations can be very different; you should find out about the exact amount of the due payment at the Pension Fund branch.

Important

The NSO is part of the EDV, therefore, to receive a set of social services, you do not need to additionally contact the Pension Fund office. The right to such services arises immediately after the appointment of EDV; the disabled child is issued a corresponding certificate indicating the category of the beneficiary, the terms of payment and social services that will be provided in the current year.

Allowance for caring for a disabled child for a non-working parent 2019

A parent who is unable to go to work because they are caring for a disabled child can apply for compensation for lost earnings . In 2021 its size is:

5,500 rubles - if care is provided by one of the parents (adoptive parent, guardian or trustee);
1200 rubles - if another person is caring for a disabled child.

There is no annual indexation for the payment; its size has remained constant since 2013, when Presidential Decree No. 175 of February 26, 2013 came into force.

Unfortunately, the amount of this benefit is not enough to fully replace the earnings of an unemployed citizen. It often happens that parents (especially in single-parent families) become dependent on their own children because they have no other income, apart from compensation for lost earnings and a social pension for a disabled child.

In this regard, civilian initiatives have been developed and put forward more than once to increase benefits for caring for a disabled child . In addition, in February 2021, bill No. 386154-7, developed by deputies of the LDPR faction, was introduced into the State Duma. The draft law proposes to increase the amount of benefits to 12,000 rubles per month , and also introduce annual indexation. But the document has not yet been reviewed ; the first reading has already been postponed a couple of times. In addition, in September 2021, the Law Office recommended rejection of the bill.

Types of assistance for disabled children provided by the state

The state provides families with disabled children with certain support:

Child care pension. It is received by parents or guardians who care for a disabled child;
Monthly cash assistance. The amount of the payment depends on whether the family is provided with social services and to what extent. This type of payment is not indexed;
Specific social assistance expressed in kind:
purchase of medicines and medical nutrition;
purchasing a voucher to a sanatorium for a course of treatment;
free travel to and from the place of treatment;
free voucher and travel for an accompanying person (if necessary).

Social pension for disabled children

Set of Social Services (NSS)

Disabled children and persons with disabilities from adolescence, who receive monthly payments in foreign currency, are provided by law with a set of social services in kind (but it can also be provided in foreign currency equivalent ).

The price of the entire NSU from February 1, 2021 will increase to 1,121.42 rubles per month (by 4.3 percent). The set consists of:

Pharmaceuticals and medical products provided by prescription, as well as health food products for disabled children, the currency equivalent is 863.75 rubles .
Vouchers to sanatoriums for disease prevention - 133.62 rubles .
Travel to the place of healing and back by intercity transport and suburban railway transport - 124.05 rubles .

Since the NSO is part of the EDV, its purpose does not require submitting a separate application to the Pension Fund. The right to a set of social services appears to a disabled child immediately upon assignment of EDV , about which the Pension Fund issues a corresponding certificate. The document states:

beneficiary category;
the deadline for providing each monthly foreign currency payment;
social services from the set to which a citizen is entitled in the current year.

Social services are provided upon provision of this certificate.

Pension of a disabled child: who receives

There are two types of pension benefits: insurance and social. The first type is calculated on the basis of insurance premiums, and the second is fixed state support in the form of financial support for certain categories of the population. A disabled child can only claim social benefits.

This category of beneficiaries includes persons under 18 years of age. The decision to grant the appropriate status is made by a medical advisory commission with the issuance of a medical and social report. The reason is the restriction of life activity due to disruption of the functioning of internal organs.

Important! Persons with disabilities since childhood also have the right to social assistance. This category should not be confused with disabled children. The main difference is that the establishment of the status of “disabled since childhood” applies to adults with the simultaneous assignment of a disability group.

The following requirements are established for the applicant for receiving security:

limited legal capacity or incapacity that precludes adaptation to normal living conditions;
permanent residence within the territory of Russia;
need for additional social protection.

The recipient can be not only citizens of the Russian Federation, but also of other countries, as well as stateless persons.

The assignment of monetary support is made for a period determined by the ITU Bureau. In any case, no more than until the person reaches his 18th birthday.

Purchasing funds for social adaptation using maternity capital

Recipients of maternity capital can use it to purchase products and services for the social adaptation of disabled children . The funds from the certificate can be used (partially or completely) for any child with a disability in the family. In addition, to manage maternity capital in this area, you do not have to wait for the second (next) child to turn 3 years old .

When paying for funds and services for the social adaptation of a disabled child, you need to take into account the following:

In addition to the application for disposal, the following documents must be submitted to the Pension Fund:

the applicant's identity card;
certificate of mandatory pension insurance (SNILS) of the certificate holder;
IPRA valid at the time of purchase of products and services;
documents confirming the purchase of products and services;
act of checking the availability of the product;
certificate of bank details.

How to apply for a social pension

The registration procedure includes the preparation and submission of documentation, consideration by the authorized body and making a final decision. A person has the right to submit an application at any time convenient for him after the grounds for assigning financial assistance arise.

Documents should be submitted:

to the territorial administration of the Pension Fund at the place of residence or stay;
through the multifunctional center.

The applicant can apply in person, through his legal representative, using postal communications. The appeal is also available on the Gosuslugi portal and the official website of the Pension Fund.

The day of receipt of the submitted document is considered the date from which the authorized body will assign charges.

List of required papers

The main thing that is required from an applicant for help is an application. Although the law does not provide for a strict form, in the branches of the Pension Fund of Russia and the MFC, as a rule, they suggest using the established form as a basis.

You should also prepare:

identification document (passport, residence permit);
confirmation of the fact of health status - an extract from the ITU report;
child's birth certificate;
documentary evidence of adoption, guardianship, legal representation;

Benefits for parents of disabled children

Families raising disabled children have the right not only to receive benefits and payments, assistance is also provided in the form of benefits. Such support measures make it easier to care for a child and meet basic needs. Benefits for disabled children are assigned without taking into account need ; in order to design them, it is not necessary to confirm the income and status of a low-income family.

Tax deduction for a disabled child

A personal income tax benefit is provided for every disabled child under the age of 18 , and if he is studying full-time, is a graduate student, resident or intern, then up to 24 years . The benefit is given to both parents (adoptive parents, guardians) of the child if they are employed. The purpose of the deduction is to supplement the parent's tax-free salary.

According to Art. 218 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the amount of the deduction depends on who is taking care of the child:

if it is a parent or adoptive parent - 12,000 rubles ;
guardian or adoptive parent - 6,000 rubles .

The benefit can only be received by those citizens whose salary is less than 350 thousand rubles per month. Starting from the month when a person’s income exceeded the designated amount, the tax deduction no longer applies.

To design a deduction, you need to contact your place of work. The benefit will be provided until the end of the year in which the recipient’s right to it ends.

Alimony after 18 years for disabled children

According to Art. 85 of the RF IC, ancestors must support their own adult children if they are not able to work . This category of people also includes disabled people of groups I, II or III.

Alimony is due to persons with disabilities after 18 years of age if:

the recipient was declared disabled ;
needs parental care;
not officially .

If the parents of a disabled child are divorced, financial support will be assigned in the form of monthly alimony in the amount of:

established by agreement of the parties (random amount);
established by a court decision if the parties cannot agree. When assigning the amount, the financial situation of both parties is taken into account.

Labor benefits

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides a number of benefits for parents raising disabled children. They operate throughout the Russian Federation all employers must provide benefits, regardless of the charter of the enterprise and form of ownership.

One of the parents (guardians, trustees) has the right to:

4 days off every month , paid in the amount of average earnings (Article 262 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
receiving annual paid leave at a time convenient for the employee (Article 262.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Also, employees raising disabled children are provided with the following guarantees :

Sending on business trips, recruiting to work overtime, as well as to work on weekends and non-working holidays is prohibited without the written consent of the employee (Article 259 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
An employment contract cannot be terminated at the initiative of the employer, including when staffing or the number of employees is reduced (Article 261 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
At the request of such an employee, the employer must introduce for him a part-time working day or a part-time working week (Article 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

One of the parents who raised a disabled child until the age of eight has the right to early registration of an old-age insurance pension . You can apply for a destiny at the following ages:

55 years old - for fathers with 20 years of insurance experience .
50 years old - mothers with 15 years of work experience .

Amounts of pension and other payments

The amount of disability benefits for a child is equal to the amount of the pension of a disabled child of the first group.

Each year this amount changes due to indexation. The increase in pensions for disabled children in 2021 will occur on April 1, and until then it will be 12,082 rubles.

This amount may seem small, but in addition to it there are additional payments that can help parents. For example, there is also a so-called monthly cash payment. It also needs to be formalized; it is not assigned automatically after the pension is assigned.

To do this, you will again have to contact the pension fund. The following documents are required

Child's birth certificate.
Parent's passport.
A pink certificate is a document confirming a child’s disability.

In two weeks the issue will be resolved. In the case of children, there are almost never refusals to provide monthly cash payments (hereinafter referred to as MCA).

The peculiarity of the EDV is that it can be provided both in the form of money and in the form of benefits to disabled children and their parents in 2021. For example, if a person chose natural services instead of EDV, then he has the right to:

Free dental services every five years, this includes dental prosthetics, regardless of the degree of complexity.
Free trips to sanatorium treatment.
Free telephone use.

In case of refusal of these benefits, the additional cash payment for a disabled child will be 2,527 rubles per month.

There is another type of payment that is aimed at supporting people caring for a disabled child - a care allowance. It must be formalized at the Pension Fund (you can also do it through the website) or at the MFC. First, they will be required to prove that the parent is not employed anywhere and does not receive any income, including other benefits. To do this, it is often enough to provide only a certificate from the labor exchange and a work book. Below is a list of other documents:

Parent's passport.
SNILS of the parent.
Child's birth certificate.

For parents, this package is enough. The decision will be known within ten days. If a parent previously worked in internal affairs and retired due to length of service, then he will have to give up either the care allowance or his own pension. The situation is similar with people of retirement age. The legislation does not allow double provision of citizens from the Pension Fund. The amount of the benefit for parents is 5,500 rubles. In total, it turns out that a family with a disabled child can receive an amount of 20,109 rubles, while the second parent can be employed.

If there is another disabled person in the family who requires care, the amount will be increased. If this is the second child with a disability, then they will pay exactly the same amount for him, if this is an elderly person - 1,500 rubles.

Increasing pension benefits for disabled children in 2019

The question of whether the pension for disabled children will be revised in 2021 worries many parents and guardians. A disabled child urgently needs additional material support and care from loved ones. My minor son is one of the disabled people of the first group, and I cannot work full time, since I need to constantly care for the child.

In connection with this, a difficult financial situation has developed in the family, and, accordingly, I began to become intensely interested in whether it is planned to increase the size of the pension benefit in 2019. In this article I will talk about this, and also about what benefits and additional privileges are provided for children with disabilities.

Who is awarded the status of “Childhood Disabled”?

The status is given to children with serious injuries or congenital diseases who subsequently become disabled. It is only awarded if the problems arose before the age of 18.

Disabled children are entitled to a pension in the amount established by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

The law of December 28, 2021 requires that certain conditions be met in order to receive the required payments:

Go through the registration procedure in the pension insurance system.
Confirm the fact of disability and the degree through a medical examination.

It is important to know! Upon reaching the age of majority, the status is lost and the citizen will have to undergo the certification procedure according to adult standards.

From January 1, 2021, the size of the disability pension increased by approximately 4%.

In addition, the pension score increased to 87.24. Recalculation of benefits occurs on an application basis. This means that a citizen who has a certificate recognizing him as disabled must independently submit to the Pension Fund documents that confirm his group for recalculation.

Moscow	16260 rub.
Saint Petersburg	12115 rub.
Kazan	8232 rub.

Data from the official body, Rosstat, in 2021 shows that the average benefit was 17,388 rubles.

It is planned to increase it: according to the latest news, in 2021, pensions for disabled people will increase by another 6.6%.

Government Decree No. 95, officially published on February 20, 2002, defines the procedure for recognizing citizens as disabled. This status can be obtained not only by adults, but also by children who have not yet reached adulthood. The conditions for recognizing a citizen as disabled are as follows:

The presence of serious pathologies of body systems that were caused as a result of birth defects or any circumstances, for example, injuries, diseases, and so on.
Serious deterioration in quality of life. In this case, we are talking about a person’s inability to independently care, along with difficulty moving and social dysfunction.
Excessive need for social protection.

If a citizen simultaneously meets all of the above conditions, the person may be recognized as disabled. If a citizen is recognized as such before reaching the age of majority, he receives the status of a disabled child or disabled since childhood. Adults who become disabled after the age of eighteen are assigned a disability category.

Previously in Russia there was such a concept as “disabled since childhood.” A similar status was acquired by citizens who became disabled before reaching adulthood. Since 2014, the category “childhood disabled” has ceased to be a legal status. Today, after reaching the age of eighteen, a disabled child receives the corresponding disability group. Anyone who was assigned the abolished status before 2014 has the right to the previously introduced benefits for people with disabilities since childhood.

Increasing pensions for disabled children in 2021

Usually, in families with a disabled child, there is an urgent need for foreign currency. This is due not only to expensive medications, but also to the fact that the mother or father cannot work fully, since they actually have to be near the baby all the time. The amount of pension benefits created for disabled children is reviewed once a year.

Next year 2021 is no exception. It should be taken into account that these payments are provided not from the Pension Fund, but from the federal budget. Funds for the baby are received by his mother/father, adoptive parent or guardian. All funds provided must be spent only on the needs of the disabled person. Otherwise, the recipient will be considered a violator of the law.

The amount of benefits paid to a disabled child directly depends on the amount of the low salary in force in a certain region of the Russian Federation. In this regard, if the indicator of low wages in 2021 changes significantly, then the amount of the benefit, accordingly, will too.

Benefits for disabled people - 2021. Amount, indexation

The amount of benefits for beneficiaries is reviewed annually by the government of our country. This is done to ensure that citizens who do not have the opportunity to support themselves receive the necessary assistance from the state. People with health problems are a constant concern of the budget. We will try to clarify as much as possible what benefits disabled people are entitled to in 2021.

State support for disabled people - structure

The Federal Law “On Social Protection of Disabled Persons in the Russian Federation” dated November 24, 1995 No. 181-FZ specifies all the benefits available to citizens with health limitations. In general, they can be divided into groups according to which disability benefits are paid: pension, social services, social security, and allowance for caring for a disabled person.

In addition, people with disabilities are supported with additional preferences, namely: benefits for paying for housing and communal services, discounts on public transport, provision of apartments and land plots (subject to conditions), benefits for admission to educational institutions, etc.

The amount of the benefit depends on the disability group

Today in Russia there are three disability groups – I, II and III. The group is assigned depending on the degree of disability and is indicated in the relevant document. Children under 18 years of age with certain diseases receive the status of a disabled child.

Be careful! Disability benefits are issued only at the time for which they are assigned. Everything is indicated in the help. The next date when you will need to undergo the next medical and social examination is also noted there.

Types and sizes of pensions

Every person who has lost the opportunity to earn money independently receives a pension from the state. By submitting the required set of documents to the Pension Fund, you can find out its size and timing. Pension amounts are regulated by government decree. Pension payments are the same for the entire Russian Federation (with the exception of the regions of the Far North and equivalent regions). The specific amount depends on the disability group.

Pension for disabled children in 2020

It is also important to take into account that disabled children who are also residents of the Far North and similar areas are given an additional allowance for poor climate conditions. Therefore, the social pension for such citizens is higher, but when moving to another area, this allowance is removed or replaced with a local one (if provided).

through the regional branch of the Pension Fund of Russia;
by submitting an application to the MFC;
send an application by Russian Post;
submit the completed form on the Pension Fund website or through State Services after registering in the Unified Identification and Authentication System (USIA) on the State Services website.

Increasing pensions for disabled children in 2020

According to the Pension Fund of Russia, 617 thousand disabled children and 203 thousand people with disabilities since childhood are recipients of social pensions in Russia. In 2020, they will receive a social pension in the amount of 12,877 rubles. The press service of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation noted that a significant increase in the size of the social pension for disabled children occurred after the adoption of the “Dima Yakovlev Law”, when its value was equated to the insurance pension.

The Pension Fund of Russia also noted that in addition to the social pension, disabled children also have the right to receive a one-time cash payment. The amount of EDV for disabled children from February 1, 2021 is 2590.23 rubles. In addition, parents of disabled children are entitled to a care payment in the amount of 5.5 thousand rubles.
