What is the size of the pension for a veteran of the Great Patriotic War?
The pension of a former military man consists of several deductions: insurance, social, as well as one-time social payments dedicated to certain holidays.
Calculation example
Pension contributions are calculated using the same formula:
- SP is an insurance benefit paid to disabled citizens;
- FV is a fixed payment, in other words, an amount that is established by the legislation of the Russian Federation;
- IPC is an individual pension point, on which the amount of accrual depends; points are made up of length of service, benefits, retirement period, contributions to the Pension Fund and other parameters;
- SIPC is the cost of 1 individual point, it may change, it depends on indexation, currently SIPC costs 87 rubles.
WWII veterans receive various benefits that significantly increase their pension contributions. However, in order to keep abreast of legislative innovations and to know what benefits certain pensioners are entitled to, it is necessary to have up-to-date information.
Siege survivors' pensions
Blockade status, according to paragraphs. 6 clause 3 art. 3 of Law No. 166 “On state pension provision in the Russian Federation” gives a pensioner the right to receive two pensions simultaneously - an old-age insurance pension and a disability pension, if the citizen has a group. Thus, the amount of the insurance pension is calculated for each pensioner individually based on the pension rights he has formed and the amount of the fixed payment. The disability pension is the same for everyone and depends on the disability group. According to clause 1.1 of Art. 16 of Law No. 166, its amount in 2020 is:
- 10.57 thousand rubles. for disabled people 1 g;
- 7.9 thousand rubles. for disabled people 2 gr.;
- 5.3 thousand rubles. for disabled people 3 gr.
Note!
The size of pensions can be increased in connection with regional coefficients, and also if there are disabled dependents on the support of the blockade survivor.
What benefits can veterans expect?
Veterans of the Great Patriotic War are provided not only with state benefits, but also with additional benefits. War participants are also paid additional funds on regular holidays.
Every year the amount of social salaries for pensioners increases. This is due to indexation or the assignment of additional benefits. If, with the new calculation, the pension turns out to be less than the previous one, then the previous amount will be paid. This approach protects pensioners from lowering their pension salaries.
On what basis are payments calculated?
According to the current legislation of Russia, the size of a military veteran’s pension depends on the category. It also affects the calculation and length of service. Distribution into categories occurs depending on the reason why a person received the title.
So, they are classified according to the following criteria:
- participation in the Great Patriotic War;
- Leningrad siege survivors;
- presence of medals and orders;
- seniority.
A participant in the Second World War is considered to be a citizen who participated in hostilities from 1941 to 1945 for at least six months. In this case, labor activity on the territory of the country under occupation is not considered .
Members of partisan formations are also considered veterans. They were hired to serve in the navy and took part in the construction of defensive structures. They also include disabled children who were injured during the war and have the status of “Resident of besieged Leningrad.”
Intelligence and counterintelligence officers are also considered participants in the Second World War if they performed special tasks behind enemy lines.
Pension benefits for certain categories of beneficiaries
In our country there are now 2 key types of pension benefits:
- within the framework of the OPS;
- on state pension provision.
The first type of benefits is also divided into insurance and savings. And insurance is differentiated into:
- Age.
- Disabled.
- Upon the loss of breadwinners.
Social security is also included in state provision. Those who took part in the battles of 1941-1945. and those marked with honorary signs “Resident of besieged Leningrad”, in view of their special services to the Fatherland and the corresponding social status, are legally entitled to count on certain types of such benefits.
What benefits are available to WWII participants and residents of besieged Leningrad?
Those who participated in the Second World War and “blockade survivors” are entitled to state disability benefits and an insurance age pension.
For these persons, various additional payments are provided at different levels:
- federal;
- regional;
- local.
So, for example, in some regions there are local allowances and special services available to veterans and combat participants.
Attention! The law provides that if a pensioner of one of the listed categories has the status of a disabled person, he does not need to choose one of the above, since such a person has the right to receive 2 types of benefits at once.
Disabled state pension
According to the provisions of Federal Law No. 166, individual Russians (due to exceptional circumstances) are entitled to state pensions.
Disabled people of 3 available subgroups have the right to receive state benefits:
- participated in the Second World War;
- those who lived in besieged Leningrad;
- individual persons listed in Art. 4 FZ-166.
Meanwhile, the reason for incapacity for work due to health reasons will not affect the assignment of such payments.
Attention! If a person has acquired a disability due to illegal actions or after deliberate self-harm, he is assigned a disability social pension. Then he will no longer be able to apply for a state pension.
According to Law N4468-1, individual military personnel who participated in the Second World War are also awarded a service pension. Since they have a length of service sufficient to assign such social support.

- disabled people of the third group will receive 100% of the amount of social assessment.

What pension do veterans receive in 2020, correct calculation
The insurance benefit depends on a fixed basic salary, the amount of accumulated pension points and its value at the time of retirement.
To correctly calculate the pension of WWII veterans in Russia, you need to adhere to the formula below.
SP = FV + IPC × SIPC , where:
- SP – insurance benefit;
- FV – fixed payment;
- IPC – individual pension point;
- SIPC – the cost of one point.
The number of pension coefficients is calculated using another formula:
IPK = SV / SVmax x 10 , where
- SV – insurance premiums;
- СВmax – maximum amount of insurance premiums.
The cost of one pension point is constantly changing. So, in 2020 it is equal to 93 rubles.
According to the country's legislation, there is no single minimum pension for WWII veterans. To receive funds and additional payments, you must provide all supporting documents to the Pension Fund. Employees will review the application and assign appropriate charges and allowances.
The amount of pension for payments to veterans of the Great Patriotic War differs from the amount for other pensioners. According to the new calculation system, many people will receive increases in their pension salaries. The recalculation is done by the Pension Fund. To find out the size of your pension, just calculate it using a formula or contact special authorities.

At the end of March 2020, the government proposed to revise the scheme for calculating military pensions for veterans. If the bill is adopted, then from May 1, 2020, the reduction factor for this category will be abolished. That is, WWII participants will be able to receive 100% of their allowance; currently 72.23% of the DDV is paid.
After the end of the war, most of the country's citizens returned to peaceful life. They restored cities, worked in enterprises and did not think about what their pension would be. However, it is thanks to work that the majority have earned seniority and the right to receive a pension. Veterans are of little interest in how insurance coverage is calculated today, because even the youngest of them have long since retired.
Social benefits and additional payments
The average pension of WWII veterans after increasing social benefits in April will be 37,400 rubles. Pensioners in this category can receive state payments for length of service and disability, as well as a labor pension. Additionally, veterans are entitled to monthly cash payments (EDV) and additional material support (DEMO). The set of social services (NSS) can be provided in kind or in cash. The government proposed to change the procedure for calculating military pensions for WWII participants and persons equivalent to them starting from May 2020. After the abolition of the reduction factor, payments to veterans will increase to 100% of their allowance.
