Disabled people are the most socially vulnerable category of the population; the state pays them benefits, therefore the size of the disability pension for group 2, as well as for other groups, is important information for people who have lost their ability to work. In general, the amount of payment is determined by the type of social benefit, the presence and length of work experience, the number of pension points, regional coefficients and allowances.
You can calculate the amount of your pension yourself or by contacting a branch of the Pension Fund.
Disabled people of the second group are citizens with a level of disability of 79-80%. In other words, this category of people is considered disabled, but capable of caring for themselves (independently or with the help of technical devices) and not requiring constant care.
Such a citizen can work only after passing a special medical commission and only if certain conditions are met. It is difficult for a disabled person to apply for a job with good pay, so for people in need of social protection, the question of how the disability pension of group 2 is calculated is very important.
How is disability pension of group 2 calculated?
Benefits for citizens of this category of disability can be defined in several types:
- social;
- state;
- insurance
The first type of social benefit is paid to those persons who have no work experience. This category also includes people with disabilities from childhood and those under eighteen years of age.
State
The state pension is assigned in accordance with certain laws of the Russian Federation or decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation.
This payment is available to a limited category of citizens:
- veterans of the Great Patriotic War;
- residents of besieged Leningrad;
- astronauts;
- liquidators of radiation disasters;
- victims of the consequences of radiation disasters.
Insurance
To apply for a disability insurance pension of group 2, the applicant must have at least 1 day of work experience.
The total payment amount depends on 3 conditions:
- pension capital;
- expected survival time;
- work experience.
At the same time, when the generally accepted retirement age arrives, a group 2 disabled person decides for himself which type of benefit is preferable for him - old age or disability.
FAQ
Question No. 1. On what grounds can a disability group be removed?
The reason is always the absence of the grounds that served to establish it. For example, a significant improvement in health, in which a citizen no longer needs social support.
Question No. 2. Can a group 2 disabled person continue to work in retirement?
Yes, the legislation does not provide for the work of pensioners, but benefits will not be indexed.
Registration of disabled status
Before applying for a disability pension of group 2, you should obtain a certificate of loss of ability to work. The status of a disabled citizen is determined on the basis of the conclusion of a medical and sanitary examination - ITU.
The attending physician refers the patient for an examination, where the commission examines the attached documents, examines the patient and makes a decision.
If a citizen is recognized as disabled, an act is drawn up and sent to the regional branch of the Pension Fund.
Further, the person recognized as incapacitated for work, upon personal application, provides to the Pension Fund:
- relevant statement;
- passport;
- SNILS.
Foundation staff are reviewing the application. Pension Fund specialists know how the disability pension of group 2 is calculated using current methods. The disabled person only needs to decide on the method of transferring benefits.
Important! In exceptional cases, the patient may be examined at his place of residence.
Disability of the second group is established for a period of 1 year. After this period, in order to extend payments, it is necessary to undergo re-certification once a year.
Grounds for suspension of payments
The transfer of benefits may be suspended in several cases:
- The disabled person did not pass the re-commission within the established time frame. If, after the expiration of the disability certificate, payments continue to be transferred, in the future the Pension Fund may demand the return of the overpaid money, so it is better to avoid such a situation.
- The pensioner does not collect the benefit for three months if it is issued through the mail. To avoid such situations, it is recommended to apply for a pension on a bank card; in addition, some financial institutions offer preferential terms of service and interest on the balance. This is cheaper than visiting the post office.
Also, payments stop in the event of the death of a pensioner or removal of the disability group.
Most common mistakes
Mistake #1. If a disabled person on pension dies, the heirs will not be able to receive the funded part of the pension.
No. According to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the inheritance mass may include money in bank accounts and funds transferred to the savings portion.
Mistake #2. An insurance pension is always more profitable than a social one.
No, in some cases, with a minimum length of service, the amount of the insurance benefit is lower than the social benefit, and then it is more profitable to apply for the latter.

Example: Terentyeva A.R. In 2020, she received group 2 disability and wants to apply for an insurance pension. Her work experience is 3 years. For 2020, Terentyeva earned 440,000 rubles, for 2020 - 470,000 rubles, for 2020 - 510,000 rubles. In 2019, the cost of 1 pension point is 87.24 rubles. (in 2020 – 81.49 rubles, in 2020 – 78.58 rubles) First, let’s calculate pension points. To do this, you need to determine the ratio of contributions paid by the employer at the insurance rate (16%) to contributions from the maximum annual salary. In 2020 it was equal to 796,000 rubles, in 2020 – 876,000 rubles, in 2020 – 1,021,000 rubles. After this you need to multiply by 10.
2016: 440,000 rub. / 796,000 rub. * 10 = 5.53 b.
2017: 470,000 rub. / 876,000 rub. * 10 = 5.37 b.
2018: RUB 510,000 / 1,021,000 rub. * 10 = 5 b.
Thus, Terentyeva has 15.9 points.
Let's find out the amount of the labor pension:
15.9 b. * 87.24 rub. + 5334.19 rub. = 6721.31 rub.
Insurance compensation is assigned within 10 days. from the date of filing the application, but if the request was made no more than one year from the date the person was recognized as disabled.
