People with disabilities are among the most socially vulnerable categories of citizens in the country. Since their health condition does not allow them to work at full capacity, and the majority are completely deprived of the ability to work. For this reason, they need financial support from the state. They receive social payments and disability benefits both at the federal level and separately by region. In 2020, disability benefits in the Russian Federation do not replace a pension; it is possible to receive additional support in the form of payments.

Types of disability benefits
Citizens who have lost the ability to work due to disability are assigned the following types of financial support:
- Social pension for those who have not accumulated insurance coverage. Persons under the age of eighteen, pensioners, as well as those citizens who have lost their breadwinner have the right to receive it.
- A labor pension is assigned as compensation for the lost opportunity to earn income through labor. To receive this type of payment, you must have a minimum length of service, which is equal to one day.
- The state pension is awarded based on length of service to the following categories: cosmonauts, military personnel, victims of man-made accidents, participants in the Great Patriotic War and citizens who survived the blockade.
Categories of citizens eligible to apply for disability benefits in 2020
All citizens with disabilities can count on receiving payments, provided that their status is officially confirmed. The medical organization issues a conclusion about a persistent decline in health, but you will still have to regularly undergo a commission so that the doctor has the opportunity to make sure that there is no improvement.
In the Russian Federation, there are several groups of disability based on health conditions:
| Disability group | Characteristics and Features |
| First | Completely dependent on third parties and deprived of the ability to navigate in space, control oneself, and move. |
| Second | Can work with the help of auxiliary tools, is oriented in space, and is able to move. |
| Third | There is a serious illness that does not prevent work with loyal requirements. |
| Disabled children | There is no provision for division into groups for citizens under the age of majority. |
These categories of people have the right to receive benefits in the established amount. They also receive additional benefits, as well as monthly and one-time disability benefits.
One-time benefit
Material government support, expressed in cash or in kind. A citizen can exercise his right to choose the form of such benefits.
In natural form, it is sold in the following forms:
- city telephone service;
- annual travel to the sanatorium;
- social services;
- Dental prosthetics once every five years.
In material equivalent, a one-time benefit is paid in an amount that depends on the group:
- first - three thousand eight hundred ninety-seven rubles;
- second - two thousand seven hundred eighty-three rubles;

The amount of the insurance pension consists of a fixed part, determined by the Government of the Russian Federation and indexed annually. As of January 1, 2020, its size ranges from three thousand four hundred sixty rubles to twenty four thousand three rubles. The amount of disability benefits is usually calculated taking into account the disability group, family and social status, as well as the length of work of a particular citizen.
Will the EDV be indexed for people with disabilities?
Every year the state raises benefits for vulnerable segments of the population through indexation, including EDV for disabled people of 2 and other groups. In 2020, the increase was made on February 1 by a factor of 1.043. Taking into account inflation over the past period, this value is not enough to equalize the financial situation of citizens. But another wave of indexation is not planned for this year. According to the plan, the procedure will be carried out only in the next calendar period; the coefficients and amount of the increase are still unknown.
Thus, the amount of monthly cash payments to disabled people of 2 and other groups in 2020 was indexed and increased according to the current coefficient. Each benefit recipient has a choice whether to accept social assistance from the state in the form of free medications, vouchers to sanatoriums, etc. or not. If you refuse, the amount of regular allowance will be increased by an amount equal to the monetary equivalent of the NSO.

How to apply for benefits - required documents
You can find the procedure for applying for benefits at the medical institution where the disability group is assigned. As soon as you have received the appropriate conclusion, you should contact the Pension Fund of your region. Here you need to provide:
- Identification;
- Conclusion of the commission;
- Work book.
When applying for other benefits, for example, a subsidy for utilities, an additional set of papers may be required, for example, a certificate of family composition.
Disability benefits are usually assigned together with a pension; just contact the Pension Fund, where they will calculate the specific amount of the benefit, tell you what papers you need to provide, and how payments are received. You will also need to open a bank account or take your card details where the money will be transferred. In addition to payments, there are also additional benefits and various services for the disabled - you shouldn’t refuse a little help.
NSU of a disabled person of group 3
It is worth taking into account that the exact amount of the monthly allowance for a particular beneficiary will be determined after he chooses which services to keep and which to refuse.
At the same time, NSU in monetary terms reaches 1155 rubles. 5 kopecks, that is, includes:
— the cost of medicines is 889.66 rubles;
— compensation for sanatorium vouchers — 137.63 rubles;
— travel in suburban and intercity transport — 127.77 rubles.
By law, these services can be replaced with money in full or in part.
Procedure for payment of benefits
Social pension is paid monthly. The pensioner can choose the authority that will pay the pension and the method of receiving it. In addition to the pensioner, the person for whom the power of attorney is issued has the right to receive a pension. The validity period of the power of attorney is one year.
Now let's look at three ways to get paid:
- Through Russian Post. There are two options - receive your pension at the branch or at home. In this case, the money must be paid within the delivery period (its period differs in each branch). If the pension is not withdrawn within six months, its payment stops. To resume payment, the pensioner needs to contact the Pension Fund;
- Through the bank. Money is given out at the cash desk or transferred to a card, which can be withdrawn without commissions at the bank’s own ATM. Thus, the pension is available on the day it is transferred. Banks do not charge interest for servicing pensioner accounts;
- Through an organization engaged in the delivery of pensions. You can pick up the money at the office of such an organization or receive it in your hands while at home. A complete list of organizations is approved at the regional level. Their list is published by the territorial branch of the Pension Fund.
To approve or change the payment procedure, you can contact the Pension Fund in two ways - by physically visiting the territorial representative office or by sending an electronic appeal (via the “Personal Account of a Citizen on es.pfrf.ru”).
Additional assistance for people with disabilities
In addition to payments and monetary compensation, the state offers disabled people benefits in the following areas and areas of life:
- Working conditions. Without the consent of disabled people, they cannot be forced to work overtime, on weekends or at night. The nature of the work itself should not be harmful to health;
- Public transport. Travel is free for disabled children, as well as disabled people of groups I and II who have visual impairments or cannot move;
- Driving. Disabled people of all groups can install a “Disabled” sign on their car - this allows them to park for free;
- Discount on medicines. This benefit is provided in the amount of 50 or 100% depending on the group and whether the disabled person is employed;
- Public places. Disabled people of groups I and II are accepted without waiting in line wherever people are treated or served (in clinics, in stores, etc.);
- Accommodations. The standard area for a disabled person is 36 m², twice as much as for a healthy person. An apartment or land plot is equipped with special equipment and devices (for example, ramps) at the expense of the state;
- Social housing. A disabled person may qualify for housing under a social tenancy agreement. At a minimum, he will be registered, and a disabled orphan will be given housing out of turn.
The list presented is far from complete. All benefits can be found in the text of the Federal Law on the social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation.
