EDV for combat veterans

EDV for combatants in 2020 is issued and paid from the Pension Fund of Russia. The amount is fixed and increases every year. The increase occurs in early February.

In 2020, the value was 2972 ​​rubles. Authorities note that part of these funds may be intended to finance assistance for the veteran. This support is expressed in a set of social services.

It includes:

• medicines and medical products (863 rubles);
• vouchers to sanatoriums or resorts (124);
• travel by railway transport free of charge (133 rubles).

Important! If a citizen receives the listed services in kind, then their cost must be deducted from the total amount. When VBD decides to use the entire range of services, the EDV will be 1851 rubles.

EDV for disabled people in 2020

People with disabilities will be able to choose how benefits will be paid to them - in monthly payments or in kind. Please note that the increase in the monthly allowance for disability will be carried out through indexation, and the government does not plan to increase the amounts by expanding the list of benefits or increasing their normal cost.

Citizens with disabilities of groups 2 and 3 will be able to receive free city telephone services, benefits for the installation of dentures (once every five years), a certain package of social benefits, and free travel to a resort or sanatorium.

The government assessed these services with specific amounts: a trip to a sanatorium - 114 rubles, travel to a place of recovery - 105 rubles, payment for medicines - 742 rubles. When converting benefits into cash equivalent, the amount of EDV turns out to be quite small.

As stated above, there is no increase in the monthly allowance for disabled people of the second group, as well as the first and third, for 2020; the specific figures are as follows:

Disabled people of the first group can count on payments in the amount of 3,626 rubles per month (the amount is the largest, since the list of benefits is the widest)

Disabled people of the second group - 2,590 rubles per month

Disabled people of the third group - 2,073 rubles per month

The right to receive EDV appears immediately after assignment of a disability group, for which you will need to collect a package of necessary documents, take them to the relevant authorities, where a positive decision on your application will be issued. Payments begin to accrue from the date of application to the Pension Fund; the application must be considered within a period not exceeding ten working days. At the end of this period, the citizen must be given either a positive decision or a negative one with justification for the refusal.

How can a veteran receive EDV?

A citizen needs to contact the Pension Fund branch. In addition, other methods of submitting documentation are provided.

Including:

• through multifunctional centers;
• using the State Services portal.

In addition to the application, you need to collect a package of documentation. This is an act by which the identity of the beneficiary and papers indicating the existence of rights regarding the registration of EDV are verified.

10 days are given to make a decision.

Only working days are taken into account . The countdown begins from the moment the application is accepted and registered in the incoming correspondence journal. The response is sent in the manner specified by the person in the document.

Increase in EDV for IAP by 2 times

In May, the previously mentioned bill was submitted to the State Duma. The act makes significant adjustments to veterans' benefits.

PM per country is taken into account. For example, in 2020 this value reached 9,311 rubles, which means that the EDV for the heroes of Russia in 2020 would have been 5,225.5 rubles. The deputies also proposed indexing the amount similar to the subsistence minimum, that is, every quarter.

There have been no readings of the bill under consideration at this time. The Legal Department of the State Duma of the Russian Federation stated that the implementation of the provisions of the act will require significant financial investments. Therefore, it was decided to wait for the conclusion drawn up by the Government of the country.

This document has not yet been created.

Providing housing UBD

If a citizen classified in this category needs improved living conditions, then he is provided with an apartment at the expense of the federal budget. The procedure for providing living quarters depends on when the person registered.

Including:

• if the placement occurred before January 2005, then a subsidy is issued for the purchase of an apartment. The payment amount is set at market prices for 18 square meters;
• when a person registers later, the same rules apply as for other groups of citizens in need of housing. In particular, they can allocate a plot for building a house.

If a veteran is provided with land, then he is removed from the register and cannot further apply for an apartment.

Thus, combat veterans are entitled to different preferences and payments. Benefits are established at both the regional and federal levels.
