Increase in pensions in 2021 for disabled people of war, childhood and by group - size and indexation date

Disabled citizens receiving pension subsidies are concerned about the question of whether the disability benefit will increase in 2021 or not, when to expect an increase, and how much the size of pensions will increase. The amount of deductions depends on many factors - the status of a Russian citizen, the type of government payments, the presence or absence of dependents. To find out how the increase in subsidies for disabled citizens will occur in 2021, you need to familiarize yourself with the nuances of accruals made by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the PF of the Russian Federation).

Disability group pension in 2018

The amount of subsidies varies depending on the degree of disability of the citizen. There are 1, 2, 3 disability groups that are assigned to a person based on the conclusions made by medical experts. The highest pensions are received by people with category 1 disability, since they are completely incompetent Russians who need additional care from third parties. Groups 2 and 3 involve restrictions on a person’s legal capacity to varying degrees. The amount of subsidy payments depends on what type of pension is accrued to the citizen. There are three of them:

• insurance;
• social;
• state

All types of subsidies depend on the cause of incapacity and the status of the disabled person. The calculation of any type of compensation, the amount of increase in pensions in 2021 for disabled people is determined separately in each specific case. Special additional payments to the benefit have been established - a monthly cash payment (hereinafter referred to as the EDV), a set of social services (hereinafter referred to as the SSS), which can be replaced with a cash equivalent. The increase in pensions for disabled persons of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2018 and for former military personnel occurs according to separate rules.

Insurance

If a citizen was working at the time of loss of legal capacity and had a length of service of at least 1 day, then the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation accrues to him an early insurance pension. The basis for the issuance of subsidies of this type are contributions paid by the employer to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and certificates of medical experts confirming that the citizen who applied for the benefit has the appropriate status. Payments are assigned on the date the Russian citizen applies to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, and not after the accruals are issued.

To know how the increase in pensions in 2021 for disabled people will affect insurance subsidies, you need to know that the benefit consists of a basic and a fixed payment. The latter indicator is indexed depending on the inflation rate of the previous year, and, from January 1, 2018, for persons of the 1st and 2nd categories of disability will be 4,983 rubles, and for those with a 3rd degree of disability - 2,491 rubles.

Social

If a disabled citizen does not have work experience, then the state will assign social pensions to disabled people in 2021. The following categories of Russians have the right to payments:

• having 1-2 degrees of disability;
• disabled children;
• persons who received injuries that resulted in complete or partial loss of ability to work as a result of an unlawful act.

Social benefits involve the payment of the basic part of the subsidy and the monthly allowance, supplements for dependents under the care of the citizen. The amount of payments is fixed by the state, changing every year depending on the growth of inflation. The increase in pensions for disabled children in 2018 and other categories of socially vulnerable individuals will occur from April 1, 2018. According to legislative standards, the amount of subsidies will increase by 4.1% for all groups of disabled Russians.

State

Certain categories of citizens who meet established requirements are awarded a state disability pension. Some disabled Russians are provided with subsidies for working a set number of years, while others are given benefits regardless of the length of service. The following categories of individuals can receive state disability payments:

• former military personnel;
• those who participated in the elimination of accidents and disasters at nuclear power plants associated with radioactive contamination of the environment and were injured during work;
• having the status of a resident of besieged Leningrad;
• those who participated in the Great Patriotic War (WWII);
• test pilots, astronauts.

The amount of the state pension and its increase depend on social payments, multiplied by an additional factor in the calculation. This indicator varies depending on the degree of disability and the status of the person receiving benefits. If there are dependent minors, 1,441 rubles are paid in addition to the pension. for each person under care. Cosmonauts and test pilots are assigned payments that correlate with the wages previously received. In case of disability of 1-2 groups, the pension of these persons reaches 85% of earnings, 3 degrees of disability - 50% of salary.

Increasing pensions for disabled people of group 3 in 2021

From the very beginning, it is worth explaining that payments to working disabled people of group 3 and those who are not officially employed are different. The fact is that starting from 2021, in order to stabilize the pension system, working pensioners will not have their pensions indexed. The amount of the fixed payment due to this category of citizens remains unchanged. In addition to officially employed retired workers, from whose wages insurance premiums are deducted, this group of persons also includes self-employed citizens - entrepreneurs, lawyers, notaries (registered with the Pension Fund).

Important! Working pensioners are not left unattended, since upon leaving work they are entitled to compensation for those years when the indexation of payments to them was frozen.

Non-working pensioners receive an increase every year, the amount of which depends on the country's general inflation rate for the previous year. In 2021, pensions were indexed by 3.7%

The reform launched in the country has led to some significant changes. In addition to raising the retirement age, the principle of indexation itself should be adjusted in 2021, or rather its time frame should be changed. Previously, pension increases were made from February 1, and an additional increase in payments was planned for April each time (at the expense of Pension Fund income, this was never done).

According to the Government's decision, starting from the new year the order will be different - an increase should be expected from January 1, by approximately 7.05%, which exceeds the inflation rate. On average, the increase should be equal to 1000 rubles. Such an increase will be possible due to a gradual increase in the retirement age, which will significantly save money.

Who is entitled to disability payments?

Incapacity is established by specialists from the local department of medical and social examination (hereinafter referred to as ITU). Based on the results of the examination, the applicant is issued an extract confirming the assignment of disability to the established category. The main factors that experts focus on are:

• presence of injury or serious illness;
• limitation or lack of legal capacity;
• need for pensions and government assistance.

If the status of incapacity is assigned to a minor under 18 years of age, then he automatically becomes a disabled child. A pension is issued for him after his parents apply to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. After reaching the age of majority and issuing a passport, if the restoration of legal capacity has not occurred, then this individual acquires the status of a disabled person from childhood. There is a corresponding recalculation of compensation. The following categories of Russians can apply for a pension:

• disabled citizens of all groups who received the corresponding status as adults;
• disabled children;
• disabled since childhood.

Conditions of appointment

Each type of benefit for disabled people involves its own conditions of assignment, except for one thing - all subsidies are issued only to citizens of the Russian Federation. The state pension for former military personnel is issued indefinitely under the following conditions:

• in case of disability while serving under compulsory military conscription;
• if the loss of ability to work occurs no later than 3 months after the end of conscription or contract service;
• if the applicant applied later than 3 months after leaving the service, but the loss of legal capacity is associated with an injury, mutilation received during hostilities.

Insurance subsidies are paid upon confirmation of work experience and contributions officially transferred by the employer to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. To receive a social pension, you need to obtain a certificate from ITU experts confirming the assignment of the appropriate status. An increase in the amount of contributions for disabled children in 2021 and other categories of benefit recipients depends on the annual indexation, replacement of the NSI with EDV, disability category, and other factors.

Indexation of disability pensions in 2018

The legislation provides for annual indexation of benefits accrued to incapacitated people. If a citizen is disabled, but receives insurance subsidies calculated based on length of service, then the promised increase has already taken place, and from January 1, 2018, pensioners receive 3.7% more than in the previous year, along with a fixed surcharge. The state managed to achieve an increase in the average per capita level of subsidized insurance contributions for disabled people in the country to 13,857 rubles.

Individuals receiving social benefits should not count on an increase in the amount of benefits until April 1, 2018. Starting from this period, the increase in compensation will be 4.1%. Increasing the size of contributions will affect all socially vulnerable layers of Russians - benefits will increase for disabled children, persons disabled since childhood, disabled Russians with any category of incapacity.

According to lawyers' estimates, the average level of social payments to incapacitated people for the current year will increase to 9,103 rubles, and the amount of contributions to disabled children and persons with 1 group of disability will be 12,577 rubles. The EDV is expected to increase by 4.1%. Pensioners can use the NSS or monetize the package of services by increasing monthly additional payments to the basic benefit.

Insurance part of pension provision

To have an idea of ​​how the increase in pensions in 2021 for people with disabilities will affect insurance contributions, you need to know the formula for calculating subsidies. It looks like this:

RP = IR x SK + FD, where:

• RP – benefit amount;
• IC is an individual coefficient calculated automatically electronically based on the duration of a Russian’s employment;
• SC – the cost of the coefficient, as of 01/01/2018, amounting to 81.5 rubles;
• FD is a fixed additional payment, determined depending on the citizen’s status, region of residence, and the presence of supervised incapacitated dependents.

The procedure for increasing the price of a pension point, the size of fixed payments, and the indexation of the base part of additional payments from January 1, 2018 led to an increase in contributions to persons who had work experience at the time of retirement and the assignment of a pension benefit. The largest increase in the fixed additional payment from January 1, 2018, was for disabled people of the 1st degree who worked for at least 20 years in the Far North (hereinafter referred to as the KS), and territories equivalent to it, with 3 wards. The amounts paid are increased by the increasing coefficient accepted in the northern region.

The amount of FD for persons who have worked at the CS for at least 15 years, with a minimum length of work experience of 25 years for men, 20 for women, depending on the degree of disability, can be seen in the table below:

Social pension in 2021 for disabled people

The benefit can be applied for in person to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or sent to a relative to submit an application and documents, providing him with a power of attorney. If a citizen received insurance contributions before reaching the established age - 65 years for men, 60 for women, and there is a transition to social subsidies, then the amount of accruals cannot decrease compared to previously made payments. The amount of social pension and its increase from April 1, 2018 depends on the status of an incapacitated Russian. The amount of the subsidy is the same for citizens of all regions of the country.

Monthly cash payment

Unemployed individuals who cannot provide for themselves and live on government payments are provided with additional support. Assistance can be received in the form of a set of benefits (NSB), having registered it at a multifunctional center (MFC), or you can waive the privileges in whole or in part and receive a cash bonus on a monthly basis. These subsidies are called monthly cash payments (MCA) and depend on the category of disability assigned to the person. When a citizen's status changes or the disability group changes, the amount of the monthly allowance changes.

To know how the EDV is calculated, you need to imagine the structure of the social package, which can be replaced with money. The set of social services, taking into account the increase from 02/01/2018, includes the following privileges in monetary terms:

• free or discounted receipt of medicines, materials, medicines - 828 rubles;
• issuance of vouchers for improving health in sanatorium and resort institutions - 128 rubles;
• discounted or free travel on intercity and suburban railway or road transport to the hospital and back – 119 rubles.

Persons who are unable to move independently are given the right to free travel by an accompanying person to sanatoriums or hospitals. Starting from 2021, the payment will be increased annually by the amount of inflation of the previous reporting period. From February 1 of this year, the subsidy increased by 2.5 percent. The maximum amount of EDV, depending on the degree of incapacity of a person, is as of 02/01/2018, taking into account indexation:

• 1 group – 3,627 rubles;
• Category 2 or disabled child – RUR 2,590;
• Group 3 – 2,074 rub.

Additional payment up to the cost of living

If the established insurance, social or government payments are below the subsistence level (hereinafter referred to as the minimum subsistence level) established in the country or region, then the disabled person is paid a compensatory increase to this indicator. The additional payment is financed from two sources - the federal budget or the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of residence. If deductions are less than the all-Russian and regional, regional or republican subsistence minimum, then increasing subsidies for disabled people is within the competence of federal bodies.

If the calculated benefit amount is higher than the Russian average, but lower than the regional one, then the final level of payments will coincide with the amount of the subsistence minimum accepted in a given subject of the country. Additional payment is made by the territorial branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Since 2021, there has been an increase in the all-Russian PM to 8,726 rubles. The benefit is paid based on this amount and cannot be lower than this indicator.

Latest increase in pensions for disabled people

For non-working citizens with group 3 disabilities, the last increase in pensions occurred at the beginning of 2021, when the size of the fixed payment was raised to 5,334.19 rubles. Due to indexation, the allowance for dependents (disabled family members of a pensioner) has also changed. For each dependent (but not more than three) an allowance of 1,660.97 rubles is accrued. The changes, taking into account the general inflation in the country, also affected monthly cash payments (MCP), which includes a set of social services (NSS). The amount of EDV was 2,701.62 rubles, of which NSU – 1,121 rubles 42 kopecks

As for working disabled people, as already mentioned, there will be no increase in the amount of payments to them from 2021. Only compensation for missed indexations is provided when the pensioner resigns.

Amount of pension payments

The planned increase in state compensation payments to incapacitated individuals affected all additional payments, EDV, NSU, and other additional payments due to disabled people. The final amount of benefits depending on the degree of incapacity can be seen in the table:

Pension for disabled people depending on group

The amount of the benefit and its increase depend on the established category of disability. The state believes that high compensation is needed for citizens with limited capabilities in order to bring their standard of living to the Russian average and provide people with vital services, medicines and goods. The degree of disability varies as follows:

• The first category of disability implies that a person is unable to take basic necessary measures to ensure life and needs help and service from third parties.
• The second category of disability assumes that a person has limited legal capacity; the list of professions that he can engage in is small.
• If there is a third degree of incapacity, a disabled person uses some means to make everyday life easier and can get a job with minor restrictions on the profession and position held.

For disabled children and people with disabilities since childhood

If a minor is assigned a disability group, then he is considered a disabled child, regardless of when the child developed a disease that led to loss of functionality. After a citizen turns 18, he becomes a person deprived of the opportunity to work since childhood, automatically, without submitting an application to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Persons with a similar category of disability are entitled to all compensation with an annual increase due to incapacitated individuals. These include:

• pension benefits;
• EDV, NSU;
• additional payments within the framework of social security;
• payments established by regional authorities;
• reduction of tariffs when paying for housing and communal services, using a landline telephone, and traveling on public transport.

Will there be an increase in payments for disabled people this year?

Pensions for disabled people will be increased on an individual basis.

Disability of the 1st group is recognized as the most severe and therefore requires more tangible investment.

In this category, there is a point that directly affects the amount of payments - this is the reason for receiving such a group (work injury or occupational disease).

• Social insurance authorities pay benefits to citizens who received a group under unfavorable conditions.
• For working disabled people since childhood, a pension is calculated in the amount of 30% of the salary at the place of official employment.
• Regarding payments next year for disabled people of the second group, recent news does not clarify the situation, since there are no funds in the state budget to increase payments.

To register a disability, it is necessary to pass a special commission and obtain its conclusion.

Such a process is controlled by the state, since as a result the citizen receives the right to intangible benefits and government payments.

There are three disability groups:

• the first is the citizens themselves, suffering from serious illnesses and in need of constant care, they are not able to work;
• the second group is given to persons who can work, but more slowly compared to healthy people;
• the third is assigned to persons who have health problems, but are still able to live like normal people and engage in simplified work activities.

Recalculation of payments for 1 group

In 2021, the amount of payments for disabled people of the 1st group will average 11 thousand rubles, for people with health problems since childhood - 12 thousand 500 rubles. Recalculation is carried out on an individual basis.

In addition, such citizens are entitled to tax benefits.

What amount will be paid in each specific case depends on the reasons that led to the loss of ability to work.

Disabled people of the 1st group include citizens with the following pathologies:

• motor activity disorders;
• problems with orientation in space (inability to do this);
• speech impediments;
• various developmental defects;
• persons who are unable to care for themselves.

For those who have group 2

As a result of indexation, social pensions for disabled people of group 2 will be increased by 2.6% in 2021.

Information on additional monthly payments in 2021 to people with a second disability group in the amount of five thousand rubles has been officially confirmed.

These citizens receive 9919 rubles every month. 73 k., if there are dependents and, depending on their number, the amount of payments can be up to 12 thousand rubles.

An officially employed and paid person disabled since childhood with a second disability group is entitled to a benefit in the amount of 30% of his salary.

How much will it rise for group 3?

Pension for disabled people of group 3 in 2021, latest news, the amount of payments is only 4848 rubles. This is significantly less than for persons with the first and second disability groups, the amount of their support is 9 thousand rubles.

This is explained by the fact that disabled people of the third group are able to work, thanks to which they independently provide themselves with the necessary standard of living.

Such citizens are entitled to benefits when purchasing medicines and paying for utilities.

Social benefits are due if the income of a disabled person of the third group is below the subsistence level.

The following persons are entitled to receive the third disability group:

• persons who need social security;
• citizens who have lost their ability to work as a result of injuries or illnesses;
• people who, due to poor health, cannot lead a full life.

If the above conditions are not officially confirmed, then security will not be assigned.

Existing health problems must be confirmed annually through a medical examination.

Thanks to indexation, payments to persons with the third disability group will increase by an average of 300 rubles.

For children

According to statistical information, approximately 200 thousand children with disabilities live in the Russian Federation. After indexation, this category of persons will receive payments in the amount of 12,577 rubles every month.

Recipients of the support are official representatives or parents of a disabled child. The social pension is indexed annually; in 2021, payments will increase by 4.1%.
