Due to the influence of certain diseases, a person may become disabled. Depending on the degree of damage caused to health, there are several groups of disabled citizens: first, second and third. Depending on the complexity of the disease, working and non-working subgroups are distinguished, but with a disability it is difficult to find a suitable job; not every position is suitable. Therefore, the state provides support to such citizens by providing various benefits, compensation, and also pays monthly benefits.

Types of pensions for disabled people of group 2

Every citizen with a disability II gr. has the right to receive monthly financial assistance from the state. To obtain it, a person with disabilities must contact the Pension Fund with a list of documents in the established format. There are several types of pensions:

1. state;

3. social.

Every disabled person has the right to receive the latter, social pension. This benefit for disabled people of group 2 is accrued if a person has not worked a single day in his life, and the amount is fixed at the legislative level. Other types of payments are awarded to certain groups of individuals subject to certain conditions.

Also, disabled children have the same benefits as other disabled citizens. Additional benefits in the form of increased leave, early retirement and additional days off are available to their parents or guardians.

These benefits are assigned only to children under the age of majority. If the ability to work has not been restored after 18 years, then the person receives the status of “childhood disabled” with a certain category and is assigned social disability benefits.

The procedure for obtaining a disability pension of group 2

To receive a monthly allowance, it is necessary to document the social status of a disabled person. There are certain regulations for this: the attending physician refers a patient with a serious illness to undergo a medical and social examination. After reviewing all documents and assessing the patient’s condition, an expert commission consisting of ITU makes a decision; in the case of disability assignment, a certificate of the established form is provided. With this conclusion and a list of documents, a disabled person of group 2 applies to the branch of the Pension Fund of Russia at his place of residence with an application to receive payments corresponding to his social status.

The pension is accrued from the date the individual applies to the Pension Fund and submits the appropriate application. Specialists will review the request within 10 working days, and the applicant will receive a notification of the final decision. If the answer is positive, a special pension account is opened for the individual, into which the subsidy will be paid in the future. Receipt may be refused if the pensioner has not provided any documents. Refusal is reported within 5 days. If this decision to not provide payments is unfounded, then it is permissible to appeal it in court, collecting all the documentation confirming the benefits.

Required documents

To receive a disability pension, you must provide to the Pension Fund:

• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• conclusion of a medical and social examination;
• certificate of presence of dependents;
• work book or employment contract.

Based on the above documents, an application for benefits is written. All documents, including the application, can be sent in a letter by mail.

The amount of social benefits after indexation for disabled people and veterans in 2020

Let's look at what increases socially vulnerable citizens should expect this year, immediately after indexation:

Let us remind you that social services may be provided to EDV recipients. At the same time, the size of the EDV will be reduced by their cost (Part 3 of Article 6.3 of the Law of July 17, 1999 No. 178-FZ).

Regional legislation also provides for other social benefits. They do not depend on whether a citizen receives a regional EDV or not.

Amount of disability pension 2nd group

The amount of subsidies is calculated according to one of the established formulas: social pension + EDV or insurance pension + EDV, where EDV is a monthly payment, which is the monetary expression of the benefits provided for medicines, holidays in sanatoriums and travel to the place of sanatorium treatment. It is permissible to receive only one type of benefits, labor or social, depending on the presence or absence of a person’s work experience. For state pension recipients, the procedure for calculating benefits is slightly different, and more accurate information can be obtained from a Pension Fund specialist.

Calculation formula and algorithm for pension payments

To understand how much people pay for disability of the 2nd group in 2019, it is necessary to consider separately the amounts of each type of subsidy.

1. Social. Its size is fixed at the legislative level and is annually indexed to inflation. Every month, disabled children receive 12,577 rubles. 42 kopecks, disabled since childhood, II group. – 10,481 rub. 34 kopecks, and payments to other people with group 2 - 5,240 rubles. 65 kopecks
2. Insurance. It is calculated using the formula: TPPI=Pk/(TxK)+B, where Pk is the pension capital accumulated before the day of applying for a disability pension; T is the number of months before the date of old-age retirement; K is the ratio of the standard length of work experience (in months) on the day of application to 180 months. The standard length of insurance coverage until a disabled person reaches the age of 19 is 12 months. and increases by 4 months for each full subsequent year of life. The maximum size of this indicator is 180 months. B - the amount of the basic part of the insurance payment for a disabled person, 2nd grade, which depends on the presence of dependents, as well as their number:

• if there are no citizens in care, then the fixed part is 4,982 rubles. 90 kopecks;
• with one dependent - 6,643 rubles. 87 kopecks;
• with two - 8,304 rubles. 84 kopecks;
• with three or more - RUB 9,965. 81 kop.

Other indicators are calculated based on the recipient’s work record and Pension Fund data.

Monthly payments

In addition to the main part of the pension, labor or social, citizens with disabilities are entitled to a monthly payment, which is monetary compensation for failure to use the required benefits. This material assistance can be used in its original, in-kind form, or it can be received as an increase. In the latter case, the amount will be small, but many choose to receive additional funds. The provided social package includes the following services:

• 100% discount on medications with a doctor's prescription.
• Free treatment in a sanatorium once a year.
• Payment for travel to the place of sanatorium rest.
• Free use of a landline phone. This benefit applies to residents of the city of Moscow.

Each of these types of social assistance has a monetary value, so a group 2 disabled person can receive a monthly payment by refusing one or all parts of the social package. Also, if you wish, you can refuse financial compensation in favor of actually using the service. In both cases, you must contact your local Pension Fund office and write a corresponding application.

Unit size

Every citizen with a disability II gr. and a disabled child has the right to choose in what form he wants to receive the benefits due to him.

Due to a previous or congenital illness, a person may be limited in the ability to care for himself, move using special devices, or communicate with other people using special devices.

Disability benefits 2nd group

People with disabilities of different ages and with different diseases are entitled to receive a pension: from a child with a congenital disability to an adult with oncology. The status of a disabled person of the second group is awarded by the ITU commission and gives a person the right to additional benefits and material support from the Russian social security authorities. It must be confirmed annually by undergoing a re-examination. The only exceptions are for disabled people who have received documents on an indefinitely awarded group.

In addition to monthly payments, this category of individuals is provided with various benefits and additional compensation:

• discounts when paying for housing and communal services, taxes, state duties;
• severance pay in case of job loss;
• the right to some relaxations in the field of labor legislation;
• provision of free medicines, extraordinary medical examinations and medical equipment;
• enrollment in higher and secondary educational institutions without competition;
• holidays in specialized resorts and sanatoriums;
• free use of public transport in urban and suburban areas.

The state and authorities are trying to make the life of a disabled person comfortable and provide him not only with a pension, but also with additional devices, as well as non-material privileges. Thus, in the traffic rules there are a number of concessions for people with disabilities.

Additional monthly financial support (DEMO) is provided to persons whose pension amount is less than the country's minimum subsistence level. The amounts are different for federal cities (Moscow and St. Petersburg) and regions; they are set at the discretion of the social security authorities.

Payments for caring for a disabled person of category 2

Based on the law, a person who cares for a disabled person of subgroup 2 does not have the right to receive government payments. An exception may be the case when the existing category of incapacity is equivalent to 1 division. This decision is made when passing the MSEC.

The number of such payments to a person caring for a disabled citizen is established at the regional level. For example, Moscow and the Moscow region pay a benefit for caring for a disabled person of group 2 in the amount of 5,500 rubles, the Penza region was able to provide a benefit in the amount of 3,567 rubles. It is important to know that the caregiver retains his right to receive other benefits provided by law.

However, if the disease that is fundamental for recognition of disability is not included in the list of diseases that require constant care of loved ones, payments will not be issued. As compensation, the caregiver can receive labor benefits: no overtime, the need to work on holidays and weekends, as well as the provision of additional leave upon request.

If a guardian and a disabled person live in an area of ​​severe climatic conditions, the amount of such payments is determined using a regional coefficient.

Increase for disabled people of group 2 in 2019

Pensions for disabled people are reviewed annually, and the amounts increase in proportion to inflation. Often the increase occurs by 3-6%. In 2020, this figure should be almost 4%. It is planned that in January 3.7% will be added to the amount of the labor pension due to an increase in the size of the pension point (from 78.58 to 81.49 rubles), and the base part will increase to 5,123.35 rubles. Social benefits are increased somewhat later, in April. They plan to raise them by 3.9%, taking into account the allowance, the amounts will be: 12,430 rubles for children with disabilities, 10,360 for disabled people of group II. from childhood and 5180 rub. for other holders of group 2. It is expected that EDV will be added next year, and the package of benefits will increase in proportion to the growth of pensions. Exact information about how much disabled people will be paid next year, about additional payments and increases, will become known in January.

The legislative framework

The increase in the monthly allowance in 2020, like other social benefits, occurred from February 1 by 4.3%.
