Recalculation of disability pensions for working disabled people
Disability pension payments are monthly financial accruals that are regulated by law for citizens who have the status of a disabled person and have the work experience necessary for this method of financing.
The right to receive them is legally secured by Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 173 of December 17, 2001, within the framework of which labor pensions are awarded to persons recognized as disabled people of groups 1–3. The degree of physical disability of pensioners is determined based on medical indications and the conclusions of an authorized commission.

Financial benefits for disability are classified as follows:
- social - categories of citizens who cannot carry out labor activities due to physical health are entitled to them;
- labor payments are accruals to persons who have reached retirement age and who, despite their disability status, have the required work experience.
Thus, when a citizen who previously received a disability pension reaches the age at which he can retire, the type of payment is reclassified as a monthly old-age pension.
Note! If the status of a disabled person is assigned to an existing pensioner, the principle and category of his accruals remain the same. At the same time, he can count on compensation payments.
Payment amount
The principle of calculating a disability pension, regardless of its group affiliation, is calculated according to the standard scheme as follows.
The base rate is taken as a basis - it is different for each level of restrictions. At the same time, the entire work experience of a citizen accumulated by the time of accrual is indexed: this is an additional part, which, together with the base one, will make up the main amount of material monthly payments. In addition, the amount of the benefit is affected by the presence and number of dependent persons of the disabled person.
Important! Indexation of payments, which is carried out annually in our country, is carried out automatically taking into account inflationary losses at the beginning of each reporting period.
Next year, this category of citizens will receive a significant increase in the amount currently paid. Thus, the amount of the disability pension will vary from 5 to 10.5 thousand rubles. The amount of compensation accruals on average will be equal to 30% of the official salary of a working disabled person.
Important! This information is not officially confirmed by the responsible authorities and is not currently supported by government regulations - the process is still under consideration.
The fundamental difference between the size of pension accruals for the working and non-working categories of citizens with disabilities is as follows. A citizen who is not engaged in labor activity has the right to count on an additional material increase if the amount of his pension is below the currently acceptable minimum. Those who work lose all legal rights to such compensation.

Despite a number of shortcomings of the domestic pension system, the deficit of the fund from which payments for this expenditure item are made is reduced annually. This makes it possible to talk about favorable prospects for the development of state pension reform and, as a result, increasing the material well-being of unprotected categories of citizens, which include working disabled people.
The legislation of our country does not restrict working disabled people and gives them the right to receive financial support for their health in full. If a disabled person receives a labor pension, but does not leave work, then the insurance portion will be automatically recalculated for him every year. Since the employer (meaning only official employment) pays insurance premiums for his employee, the amount of funds accumulated in the account is constantly changing. It is for this reason that the need for recalculation arises.
Employed disabled people are entitled to two types of pension payments:
- Labor is assigned only after a citizen is recognized as a disabled person of one or another group. If disability was obtained as a result of an intentional act against oneself, then there can be no talk of a labor pension. Work experience (minimum one day) is also required.
- The state one is assigned to military personnel who were injured during a combat mission or military service. Also entitled to persons injured as a result of man-made or radiation disasters.
A certain category of persons has the right to an old-age labor pension and a state disability pension at the same time. We are talking about WWII veterans and blockade survivors.
Grounds for recalculation
The regulatory framework governing recalculation depending on the assigned pension provision is defined in the following federal laws:
- dated December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ “On state pension provision in the Russian Federation” - for social and state pensions;
- dated August 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions” - to provide an insurance type.
The reasons for changing the amount of pension payments (increase, decrease) or their termination are:
- assignment of a new disability group;
- moving a pensioner for permanent residence to the Far North.
These options are relevant for all types of pensions. A separate case of increase is the annual adjustment of the amount of payments. In 2020 it is planned:
- January 1 – for insurance pensions for non-working citizens.
- April 1 – for Pension Fund benefits.
- April 1 – for social pensions.
- October 1 – for state pensions.
All types of collateral listed in the list will undergo indexation - an increase in the size of payments to compensate for inflationary processes in the economy. The increase coefficient differs for different types of payments (for example, labor pensions will increase by 7.05%, and social pensions by 2.4%).
A separate case is the calculation of disability insurance pensions for employed persons. Starting from 2020, indexation is not carried out for it, but since working pensioners increase their work experience, for this reason payments are recalculated on August 1. After the citizen retires, the pension will be adjusted taking into account all previously missed indexation coefficients.

Changing the fixed payment amount
The reasons for adjusting the size of the PV are:
- Change in the number of disabled family members. For example, the birth of a child or, conversely, one of the children reaching adulthood - for the first case, payments will increase, for the second, they will decrease. For example, when twins are born to a disabled person of the 1st group, who had no children before, the pensioner’s EF will increase from 9,965.80 rubles. up to 13,287.74 rub.
- 80 year old pensioner. When it is reached, the assigned base payment is doubled.
- Moving for permanent residence to the northern regions. In this situation, the basic part of the citizen’s insurance coverage is multiplied by the regional coefficient (RC). The amount of the increase varies depending on where you live. For example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory for residents of Norilsk the RK will be 1.8, and for residents of Yeniseisk or Lesosibirsk - 1.3. When leaving the northern regions, a citizen loses the right to the regional coefficient.
- Development (or confirmation) of a legally established preferential length of service for the Far North and similar areas (for example, men require 15 years of service). If this period was before 2002, then the Pension Fund may not have the necessary information and documentary evidence will be required. After confirmation of the preferential length of service, the amount of the disability pension will be increased for the applicant.
The table shows how the basic part of payments changes for disabled people of the 1st group with a proven northern 15 years of experience:
Number of disabled dependents | PV value, r. |
0 | 14 948,70 |
1 | 17 440,16 |
2 | 19 931,61 |
3 or more | 22 423,05 |
Recalculation of the insurance part
Such an adjustment is permitted in the following situations:
- The emergence of new data about the work experience of the recipient of payments (for example, when applying for a pension, the employee did not collect all the necessary documents confirming the time of work). This is relevant for the period before 2002 - later information was fully recorded by the Pension Fund.
- Accounting for non-insurance periods. This includes activities of social significance (caring for a child under 1.5 years of age, conscription service, etc.), which adds 1.8 IPC per year of such employment. This procedure for recalculating a pension will not always bring benefits to the recipient (but, most likely, it will be beneficial for women with several children and short service). By law, a pensioner can leave the same amount of security if, upon recalculation, his income becomes less.
- Continuation of work activity. Every year that a pensioner works, the number of IPC increases (which increases the insurance part of the pension). This adjustment is carried out annually on August 1 automatically, but if necessary, a citizen can prepare an application for recalculation and submit it to the Pension Fund (for example, if he has worked for only six months and is going to retire).
General concepts
Existing preferences are designed to support citizens with disabilities financially and in consumer terms. In particular, persons of category 3 can count on benefits and payments in the minimum amount, since the group in question is working. In other words, it is assumed that with group 3 disability a person is able to take care of himself and carry out work activities.
Benefit | These are variants of privileges that the state issues to certain categories of citizens. |
Disabled person | This is a citizen who has received an official medical certificate confirming physical and mental health problems |
Pension | This is a benefit paid to citizens of retirement age or who have special conditions for receiving such a payment. |
In the Russian Federation, pension payments are calculated according to several options, and the pension consists of funded and insurance. That is, if they have a working (insurance) record, the disabled person is additionally given the specified type of funds.
Increase in disability pension in 2020 for disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3
Recent statements by officials indicate the imminent restoration of the indexation schedule for social payments, so that already this year it will be possible to increase the disability pension.
Indexation of disability pensions in 2020 for disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3 will take place in April 2020. Social payments have increased by 1.5. The monthly fixed amount was also increased for disabled people of all groups by 5.4 percent.
State support is important for maintaining the life of people with disabilities. Therefore, persons with a certain degree of disability can apply for the appropriate benefit.

Monthly cash payment limit
It is quite problematic to independently calculate the exact amount, since when calculating pension payments to a disabled person, the following are taken into account:
- The applicant's employment status;
- Age at the time of receiving the group;
- The amount of accumulated experience points;
- General work experience at enterprises;
- Place of residence;
- Family composition;
- The option for receiving a set of social services is money or services.
Until the transition to a regular old-age pension, disabled people with work experience are paid using the following formula:
- The amount of points accumulated by the time the disability category is awarded is multiplied by the cost of one point in a given period (as of January 1, 2020 - 81.49 rubles);
- The amount of the fixed payment is added to the product.
For example, a disabled person of the third group has three dependents; by the time he applied, he had worked for 15 years in Vorkuta (Far North), and had accumulated 30 points on his account. They will pay him every month 30 * 81.49 11211.55 = 13656.25 rubles.
If the amount of the calculated insurance pension is lower than the social pension, then the subject submits an application for the social security option. When entering a regular pension, the level of compensation payments is calculated not lower than the previous level.
The lack of confirmed experience does not leave the beneficiary a choice: after establishing the category of disability, he is determined by a social pension, the level of which is approved by law and is revised annually by indexing. In the current calendar year, the amount of this payment for a non-working disabled person amounts to 4403.24 rubles.

If the third category of health problems was identified in childhood, then the amount of pension support is a fixed amount - 6476.75 rubles. This amount is not subject to recalculation, but is increased only by indexation of state benefits. If such a benefit recipient is officially employed, then the employer is obliged to pay him an additional 30% bonus to the regular salary.
The monthly cash payment (MAP) is calculated as the equivalent of social services provided to disabled people free of charge or with a 50% discount:
- Pharmaceutical reimbursement – 828.14 rubles;
- Transport costs – 118.94 rubles;
- Vouchers to sanatoriums and resorts – 128.11 rubles.
The price of a full set of social services is 1075.19 rubles. A disabled person, as a recipient of EDV, has every right to ignore part of this set or the entire list. The cost of a set or specific service will be added to the total amount of compensation accrued to him.
Thus, in 2020, the absolute amount of allowance for this category of benefit recipients reached 2,073.51 rubles. If a beneficiary wishes to consume social services in kind, then the additional payment in the form of daily allowance for him will be 998.32 rubles. If he doesn’t apply for them, he will receive the maximum amount for his category.
The replacement of the social package with money is carried out once a year - upon the application of the beneficiary, submitted before October 1 of the current year. The number of such replacements is not limited by law: theoretically, you can declare your desire every year - one year you can refuse the recruitment, and the next year you can receive it again.
However, this pension depends on length of service and is not always enough to meet various needs. Therefore, if necessary, a citizen is provided with social state benefits.
For example, social Disability payments are minimal, constant and subject to indexation. That is, disabled people of group 3 are awarded 4,491 rubles every month. Here you can add a monthly cash payment (MCA), which is different for categories of persons with disabilities. For group 3, the benefit is 2,162 rubles. Thus, in 2020, in total, a person with disabilities assigned to group 3 can receive 6,653 rubles monthly.
Note that children are usually paid more than adults and the standard for them is generally 12,681 rubles. EDV provides an additional 2.7 thousand rubles, that is, the total payment per month for children reaches 15,382 rubles.
No dependents | 2.6 thousand |
For one | 4.4 thousand |
On two | 6.2 thousand |
For three or more | 8 thousand |
This amount is responsible for the pension base, to which points accumulated over the entire period of work are added. Due to its unprofitability for some people, this type of pension accrual can be replaced with a fixed social benefit.
The size of the disability (social) pension is independent of length of service. Paid on the basis of Art. 18 Federal Law No. 166. The value for 2020 is 4053 rubles. In addition, a citizen can count on EDV. Its value is not static, it is indexed annually. For 2020, the monthly allowance for disabled people of group 3 is 2000 rubles.
If the amount of support for a disabled person is less than the subsistence minimum for retired citizens in the region of his residence, he is entitled to apply for an increase until it is reached.
Adjustment of payments when changing the disability group
To assign a pension, persons with disabilities must undergo a medical and social examination (MSE). It determines how much a person needs outside care, specialized treatment and whether he is entitled to a pension for people with disabilities. The diagnosis requires periodic re-examination - this may change the assigned group.
If the ITU is missed without a good reason, then pension payments are suspended. The frequency of re-examination depends on the disability group:
- For the 1st – 1 time in 2 years.
- For 2nd and 3rd – annually.
In certain situations, disability may be assigned for life. This is permitted by law if:
- The pensioner has reached the established age (for women - 55 years, for men - 60), or the next re-examination falls during this period.
- Over a certain period of time, a citizen’s existing disability category is constantly confirmed. For the 1st group it is 5 years, for the 2nd - 15 years, for the 3rd group there is no such opportunity (except for disabled military service people, for whom a 5-year period is established).
- A disabled person has pathologies and injuries included in a special list approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 247 of April 7, 2008 (this includes malignant tumors, blindness, amputation of limbs, etc.).
- By the next re-examination, a disabled person in military service will be 55 years old.
The reason for re-examination may be the disagreement of the pension recipient (or his guardian) with the established group of disabilities. In this case, it is necessary to submit an application for re-appointment of the ITU with a different composition (the law allows for a month for this). If the results do not satisfy the pensioner this time, he still has the right to challenge the decision by filing a lawsuit.
The procedure for assigning disability (or re-examination) takes place at the regional bureau of medical and social examination. If it is impossible for a citizen to visit this institution (for example, for bedridden patients), a medical and social examination is carried out at home. Regardless of the method, the patient must have a referral from the attending physician and test results.
The commission consists of at least 4 specialists (must include a psychologist). They assess the patient’s condition through a personal examination, studying the medical record, test results, etc. If necessary, they ask questions to the disabled person or his guardian (for example, about the possibility of independent care, etc.). As a result, a decision is made to assign/confirm a certain group or remove disability.

Group decline
If the next re-examination reveals positive dynamics during the treatment of an illness or rehabilitation after an injury, then this indicates an improvement in health. In this situation, the ITU commission has grounds to downgrade the limitation group (for example, from 1st to 2nd). The procedure for recalculating the amount of pension payments in this case is as follows:
- The ITU Commission makes a decision on improving the condition of the person being examined. A special act is drawn up, which records the need to lower the disability group.
- A copy of this document is sent to the Pension Fund at the place of residence of the disabled person. This is an automatic, legally established procedure that does not require an application/application from the pensioner.
- Based on the received act, the Pension Fund performs a recalculation. The accrual of the disability pension in the changed amount will begin from the next month after the MSA.
Group Promotion
If, during the re-examination, the ITU commission comes to the conclusion that the dynamics are negative and the health condition of the disabled person is deteriorating, the disability group is increased (for example, from 2nd to 1st). The procedure includes the following steps:
- The ITU commission studies the card and test results of the person being examined, independently conducts an examination and diagnoses a deterioration in health (expressed, among other things, in a decrease in the ability to care for oneself). Based on the totality of the information received, specialists make a decision to increase the category of disability and document it.
- The examination report is received by the Pension Fund and serves as the basis for adjusting the amount of security. The participation of the recipient of payments (in the form of a written request) is not required.
- The new pension amount will be calculated starting next month.
Removal of disability
The procedure for removing disability (and canceling pension payments) is organizationally no different from cases of increasing/decreasing the group. The IEC Commission registers the patient’s cure, which deprives him of the opportunity to receive government benefits due to limited capabilities. The drawn up act is sent to the Pension Fund and payments are stopped.
The legislative framework
Benefits are provided to persons with disabilities (group 3 and not only) on the basis of legislative acts. First of all, this is the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 95 “On the procedure and conditions for recognizing a person as disabled.” This document sets out the key aspects of the group's appointment.
Law No. 181-FZ “On social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation” presents benefits provided for disabled people. Art. 28.1 contains information on monthly payments for citizens with disabilities. And in Art. 17 establishes the rights of this category to receive apartments or rooms. And finally, Art. 20 talks about the employment of persons with disabilities.
Assignment of disability and determination of the set of compensation benefits due to it occurs taking into account the provisions of regulatory acts of all-Russian significance:
- Federal Law of November 24, 1995 No. 181-FZ “On social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation” - principles of medical examination, algorithm for distribution of compensation payments, guaranteed preferences;
- Federal Law of December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ “On State Pension Provision in the Russian Federation” – calculation regulations, circle of recipients, indexation mechanism;
- Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions” – calculations based on the calculation algorithm, significant factors, application during the transition period;
- Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated February 20, 2006 No. 95 “On the procedure and conditions for recognizing a person as disabled” - an algorithm for executing and appealing the ITU conclusion;
- Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated April 15, 2003 No. 17 “On the determination by federal state institutions of medical and social examination of the causes of disability” - principles for identifying health limitations.
What happened before and what will happen next
At the moment, every pensioner knows when the last indexation was carried out and what the payments became after it. And for those who don’t know this, there is our article in which we talk in detail about all the latest news.
Latest changes in pension payments
- Old-age pension payments at that time amounted to just over thirteen thousand rubles;
- Benefits for the loss of a breadwinner, of course, as now, left much to be desired and were equal to nine thousand rubles;
- Pensions for disabled people, oddly enough, were significantly less than each of these points and equaled eight and a half thousand rubles.
People with serious health problems can be recognized as disabled after passing a medical and social examination. The order and procedure are regulated by Order No. 95 of the Government of the Russian Federation dated February 20, 2006. To assign the third group, compliance with one of the grounds is required:
Disability pension - length of service. How does it affect?
Payment amount
When calculating a disability pension, less work experience is required than when calculating monthly old-age payments.
For disabled people who are physically able to work, the amount of pension payments is periodically recalculated taking into account the inflation coefficient. The higher the official salary, the greater, accordingly, will be the employer’s contributions to the Pension Fund.
Note! If the official salary of a disabled person is high enough, according to the law, his pension will not decrease. But if earnings, on the contrary, have changed downward or remain at an extremely low level for a long time, payments may be increased.
Upon reaching 55 years of age for women and 60 years of age for men, the Pension Fund transfers the citizen to another type of accrual.
Transition order
To exercise the right to independently choose the type of benefit, a citizen must contact the territorial fund and present a package of documents:
- a copy of the passport with personal data pages and place of registration;
- employment history;
- a certificate from the last place of work where the citizen worked for the last six months.
The employee will make the necessary entry in his personal file and record the type of pension payments.
If the disabled person did not work, then the book will not be needed.
Some changes are expected in 2020, namely: an increase in the retirement age by 1 year, an increase in wages. The pension reform will not pass by group 3 disabled people. It will affect them too.
How to apply for group 3 disability
To obtain disability, a citizen must undergo a medical and sanitary examination. To do this, you should make an appointment with your local physician and take a referral from him.
If during the examination the commission determines that the dysfunction of the human body does not allow him to live a full life, he will be assigned to the third group.
To carry out the procedure, you must submit the following documents:
- passport or other identification document;
- outpatient card;
- referral from a GP;
- certificates from clinics where the citizen came to treat his illness;
- work book or certificate from the place of work or study.
If the commission makes a positive decision, he will be given a certificate and a rehabilitation plan.
Who is assigned group 3?
– psyche;
– internal organs;
– eyes, throat, nose, ears, etc.;
– anatomy (meaning the presence of defects requiring surgical intervention).
– work activity is permitted and considered feasible;
– a disabled person can use mobility aids (for example, a cane) to walk long distances;
– the existing illness does not interfere with normal perception, be it educational material, etc.;
– orientation in time and space is not impaired, communication occurs without intermediaries.
Calculation of pensions for disabled people of group 3
The disability pension is calculated taking into account the following principles:
- If the subject did not work anywhere before his health limitations were identified, he is awarded a social payment that is uniform for all levels;
- If at the time of applying for a pension he was officially working, he will be assigned an amount calculated according to insurance rules;
- If the subject has reached the age of retirement, his work experience is not less than 180 months, and the accumulated amount of points is not less than 30, then he is assigned an old-age pension (insurance), otherwise - social.
With work experience
Officially confirmed work experience serves as a guarantee of receiving compensation in the form of an insurance pension. Its value is calculated individually, and on average for the current year it is 8,738 rubles.
No work experience
Disabled people without confirmed experience claim a social pension option with a level of 4403.24 rubles. The increased size is intended for residents of the Far North and the territories assigned to it. The value of the coefficient is established in accordance with federal regulations. If a disabled person moves to another area, the coefficient ceases to apply and he is paid only the basic level.
Family composition | Payment amount, rub. | ||
in normal terrain | 15 years of work in the Far North | 20 years of work in territories located near the Far North | |
No dependents | 2491,45 | 3737,18 | 3238,89 |
With one dependent | 4152,42 | 6228,64 | 5398,15 |
With two dependents | 5813,39 | 8720,09 | 7557,41 |
With three or more dependents | 7474,36 | 11211,55 | 9716,67 |
The upcoming reform is aimed at gradually increasing the age at which the old-age insurance pension will be calculated. They previously indicated which categories of citizens were not expected to undergo transformation. To the question whether the pension reform will affect disabled people of group 3, one can give an affirmative answer. This category of citizens is not included in the preferential list.
The third group is considered able-bodied. For this reason, the amount of accruals and benefits is low. There are a number of privileges that a citizen can take advantage of. Let's look at how the pension reform will affect group 3 disabled people below.
Increase in pensions
This year, the amount of social security for disabled people of the third group is 4404.24 rubles.
The government plans to increase provision for disabled people of the third group through indexation from April 1, 2020. Payments will be increased by 2.60%. On average, pensions are expected to increase by 300 rubles.
All financial recalculations will be carried out individually for each disabled person.
Disabled people who need treatment will receive financial assistance from the state. It is up to 12,500 rubles. Previously, the maximum value was 12,200 rubles.
Group 3 disabled people can expect an increase in wages.
Tax benefits
Citizens are offered tax benefits. Those people who have become disabled since childhood, but still work in addition to the basic salary, will receive an accrual from the state in the amount of 30% of the salary.
Group 3 disabled people have the right to take advantage of the relaxation for the purchase of medicines. They can pay 50% of the cost for drugs and medical equipment. The rest of the amount is paid by the state. It is imperative to take a prescription from the attending doctor in the name of the citizen.
In the group under consideration, a person with disabilities is entitled to an early social pension (standard payment). As for calculating pension benefits for the insurance part, standard methods are used here. In general, a disabled person can qualify for full pension benefits.
To determine the amount of the pension benefit, factors that are relevant in a particular situation are taken into account, so it will not be possible to indicate a 100% exact amount of the benefit within the framework of this material. We only note that the calculations will be accurate if a minimum insurance pension and a fixed social pension are used.
If a disabled person of group 3 works, regardless of the fact of employment, he is awarded, as noted above, 4,000 rubles (social pension). When assigning an insurance and funded pension, some details play a role.
Insurance pension
The amount of pension capital that is in the Pension Fund on the date of pension transfer | PC |
Fixed old-age pension | T |
Proportion from the standard length of service at the time of pension installation to 180 months | TO |
Basic pension benefit rate for disability group 3 | B |
– multiplication of T and K;
– division of PC by the number obtained above;
– addition to this figure B.
In this way, the amount of the benefit is determined if an insurance pension payment is applied.
If a person with disability group 3 has a funded part of their pension, it is added to the insurance one. The benefit is calculated by establishing the amount in the savings account. This figure is then divided by 240 months (this is the norm for 2020). The result should be the amount of the funded pension.
According to the law, in our country the recalculation (indexation) procedure is carried out for both social and insurance payments. The volume of insurance coverage for a particular citizen increases depending on the level of inflation, contributions to the Pension Fund by the official employer, and an increase in the profitability of the fund itself.
1 group
In 2020, pensions of citizens with disabilities belonging to the first category of disability were indexed by 4%. The increase affected non-working pensioners. Disability pension insurance has a fundamental feature - the length of work experience for assignment is not important, one working day is enough. In the absence of any length of service, the pensioner is assigned a social benefit.
The amount of the insurance pension depends on the individual pension coefficient (IPC, point) and the cost of one such coefficient on the day of its appointment. The cost of the point itself is indexed annually. It is planned to abolish the IPC, but this step is still at the preparation stage.
The fixed payment (FV) also increases. In 2020, the total amount was 5334.19 rubles. For disabled people of group 1, it is equal to 10668.38. The amount of the allowance for dependents depends on indexation - for each (no more than three) a third of the total amount is due.
2 groups
Pensions for working disabled people of group 2 have ceased to be indexed in accordance with the presidential decree. It is recalculated only in connection with dismissal from work. For those who do not work, everything remains the same - the accumulation of points in the account from employer insurance contributions plays a significant role. Indexation of the point value has changed the volume of accruals.
For citizens living in the Far North, an increase is provided through the use of one of the regional coefficients (depending on the specific place of residence). Persons with limited health are entitled to an increase in the amount of payments if they worked in difficult conditions for a certain number of years. Here, only one increase option is used to choose from - thanks to the regional coefficient or thanks to the northern experience.
The social pension is designed for non-working disabled people of the second category. Its size depends on the established cost of living; from April 2020 it is 5334.19 rubles.
3 groups
Recalculation is carried out when:
- the group was promoted or removed;
- changed place of residence;
- the number of dependents (if any) has changed;
- labor activity was terminated;
- an application to refuse social recruitment was written and submitted.
The insurance pension may change, since the calculations take into account the physical disability and disability group. The basic portion for the third category of disability is equal to half the original amount, i.e. for 2019 – 2667.09 rubles.
After leaving work, persons with disabilities have the right to count on full compensation for missed time (when indexation was carried out for the unemployed population). The full amount will be accrued 3 months after dismissal. There is no need to report the fact of termination of employment to the Pension Fund; notification will occur automatically. The employer is responsible for this.
The restriction on indexation for working disabled people will last until 2020 (while this period is set). Due to the difficult economic situation, the issue of canceling payments to working pensioners is being considered. To ensure that the rights of this category of persons are not violated, serious compensation is expected after dismissal. It is worth noting that the reaction of citizens to the moratorium (restriction) was natural - people began to quit.
Formation of insurance accruals
An integral part of this payment is the monetary value of benefits. Their cost is 1100 rubles. To apply for this supplement, you will need to visit the pension authority and fill out an application.
Amount of state payments to disabled persons of the third group
Citizens are often interested in the size of the pension for persons caring for a disabled person. In 2020, no act was issued at the legislative level that would establish the right of a citizen to receive payments in connection with the care of a person recognized as disabled.
The social body is obliged to make a decision on the legality of the additional payment before the 1st day of the month after which the application is submitted. Transfer of additional payments is carried out simultaneously with the main benefit. The applicant has the right to independently choose the method of receiving funds - to a bank card, at a Sberbank branch, to home, at Russian Post.
Additional payment by region - Regional cost of living for pensioners (Pension payments + Comp), where Comp is the monetary equivalent of compensation payments and other payments provided for in favor of a citizen with a 3rd disability group, these include EDV, DEMO, NUS, etc.
Regional supplement for disabled people of group 3
Thus, disabled people of group 3 will receive 4,300 rubles monthly. This amount is provided for unemployed citizens; others can claim half of the specified amount of funds.
To register all allowances, you must go to the nearest (place of registration) PFR office. In all cases, an application is required (filled out according to the sample provided by the fund’s employees), but the documents to be presented are different:
In addition to the monetary part of the EDV, disabled people of all categories can apply for NSO - sets of social services. This is a monthly benefit from the federal treasury for disabled citizens, the amount of which in 2020 is 1,121 rubles. However, the nature of the NSO is compensatory. It can be spent not on your own needs, but only on social services:
Social services for disabled people of group 3
If the additional payment for group 3 disability to the old-age pension is fixed, then the PMP indicators differ for each Russian region: in Moscow, Belgorod and Sochi they are heterogeneous. The amount of payment depends on the entity where the disabled person is registered (registered).
Important : some types of work are contraindicated for group 3 disabled people. These include activities associated with harmful working conditions and production factors. The decision on whether a disabled person can work as a driver is determined by the commission when determining the state of health. It is impossible to involve such citizens in overtime work on the basis of the requirements of labor legislation. Group 3 disabled people have the right, based on Article 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, to work part-time.
- housing - subject to compensation for housing and communal services in the amount of up to 50%;
- financial support - the opportunity to purchase, at the expense of the local budget, a plot of land with benefits in the region of permanent residence;
- transport - metro and buses in the amount of 50%, including railway transport;
- taxes - their amount decreases depending on the conditions for granting a new status due to disability;
- medical – payment for medications with a 50% discount;
- treatment – payment for sanatorium-resort treatment in the amount of 50% from the state budget;
- workers - additional leave for 2 weeks when sent for health improvement to medical and sanatorium-resort complexes, employment on the basis of a general contract without establishing a probationary period.
Who is included
The third degree is relatively “mild”; it includes people with the following health limitations:
- Pathologies of organs and their systems;
- Mental disorders;
- Anatomical defects that can only be eliminated with the help of a surgeon;
- Diseases of the eyes and ENT organs (ear, nose, throat).
In this case, a person with the help of auxiliary means of movement can walk a fairly long distance. It is not difficult for him to independently contact others and navigate space.
Where should a group 3 disabled person go?
The exact amount of the funded and insurance components of the pension is specified in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. The office at the place of residence of the person applying must provide information regarding the registration of a pension and provide information about its amount.
If the holder of group 3 only applies for a social pension, you should visit the social protection authority at your place of residence. Here the status of “disabled person” and the entitlement benefits with benefits will be issued.

– the applicant’s passport (for citizens of the Russian Federation) or residence permit (for stateless persons and foreigners);
– SNILS;
– an extract from the ITU conclusion as the fact of the presence of the group;
– documents on work experience.
When applying to social security, this package of documents must include a disability certificate. The rest of the list of papers is the same.
What benefits are available to a group 3 disabled person in 2020?
All existing categories of disability are provided with various regular financial benefits, assigned depending on the disability group. Next, we will consider in more detail the benefits for citizens belonging to the 3rd group.
One of the types of pensions available to the represented individuals is social. The size of the disability pension in 2020 for disabled people of group 3 increased and is equal to 4215.90 rubles. It is assigned to citizens who have lost their ability to work and who have no work experience at all (it is also called labor or insurance). Financial compensation of another kind is a regular benefit in the form of a monthly cash payment, which can also be claimed by persons of category 3 disability. For them, the pension amount will be 2022.94 rubles. Please note that all people with disabilities are legally entitled to receive appropriate cash benefits. Also, disabled people in this category can enjoy other benefits, including:
• Housing; • Transport; • Tax; • Medical; • Social; • Workers; • Other government assistance.
Detailed information about them can be obtained from the branches of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.
Group 3 disability insurance pension in 2020
The law states that the recipient of such social assistance can be a citizen with a disability recorded in accordance with the established procedure. An important condition for this registration of this procedure will be the presence of official insurance experience, and it does not matter how long the length of professional activity was. The cause and time of onset of disability are also not taken into account.
The payment in question may be accrued if the following conditions are met:
• The status of a disabled person is determined only by a medical expert; • Assignment of the appropriate degree of disability (1, 2 or 3); • Having at least one officially worked day.
The size of the insurance pension of the 3rd category is determined and amounts to 2402.56 rubles. A significant point for changing the amount of the corresponding benefit is the presence of dependents. Depending on their number, the payment may be 4004.26; 5605.96 or 7207.66 rubles monthly.
Pension increase
The benefit amount may change upward during indexation. If you have enough experience, your pension can also be increased. Insurance pensions are indexed by the government from January 1, and social pensions from April 1.
Important! Since changes are made to legislation quite often, the information quickly becomes irrelevant. In addition, each unique case has its own factors at play. Therefore, the information presented can be considered basic, but not specific to your situation. Detailed information should be clarified with the Pension Fund or Social Security.
How much do disabled people of group 3 get paid?
Payments to disabled people of group 3 are not limited to pensions; there is also a whole range of monthly payments.
The income of a disabled person is formed from the amount of the pension and the daily allowance, but that’s not all. If the totality of these payments is less than the subsistence level in the region, then another additional payment comes into force - the FSD. Next, we will consider specific examples taking into account the type of pension.
Unlike a social disability pension, an insurance pension allows a disabled person to receive additional money for dependents (1,600 rubles for each). It is also worth considering the form of receiving a set of social package of services.
Examples of calculations:
- If a disabled person has no dependents and receives a social package in cash, then the amount of his subsidies is 4829.77 rubles per month; additional payment to primary care (8846 rubles)
- If a disabled person has no dependents and receives a social package with benefits, then the amount of his subsidies is 3,708.35 rubles per month; additional payment to primary care (8,846 rubles)
- If a disabled person has 1 dependent and receives a social package in cash, then the amount of his subsidies is 6607.83 rubles per month; additional payment to primary care (8846 rubles)
- If a disabled person has 1 dependent and receives a social package with benefits, then the amount of his subsidies is 5486.41 rubles per month, additional payment to primary care (8846 rubles)
- If a disabled person has 2 dependents and receives a social package in cash, then the amount of his subsidies is 8385.89 rubles per month; additional payment to primary care (8846 rubles)
- If a disabled person has 2 dependents and receives a social package with benefits, then the amount of his subsidies is 7264.47 rubles per month, additional payment to primary care (8846 rubles)
- If a disabled person has 3 dependents and receives a social package in cash, then the amount of his subsidies is 10,163.95 rubles per month
- If a disabled person has 3 dependents and receives a social package with benefits, then the amount of his subsidies is 9042.53 rubles per month
Socially disabled people of group 3 have a fixed pension amount, which does not change, for example, depending on the number of dependents, length of service, etc. The amount of monthly subsidies is also affected by the form of receiving the social package. All recipients of a social pension, due to low financial income, have the right to apply for a social supplement up to the subsistence level.
Examples of calculations:
- If a disabled person receives a social package in cash, then the amount of his subsidies is 6653.97 rubles per month; additional payment to primary care (8846 rubles)
- If a disabled person receives a social package, then the amount of his subsidies is 5532.55 rubles per month, additional payment to primary care (8846 rubles)
Is it possible to index pensions for non-working disabled people?
If, after passing the examination, a citizen’s disability group has changed, then information about this will be received by the Pension Fund from the commission. Therefore, a disabled person does not need to submit additional applications. The responsible authority will automatically recalculate the amount taking into account the new data.
It will be produced at an accelerated pace, taking into account the excess of expected inflation in 2020. The goal is to provide a more tangible increase in income for non-working pensioners in the new year. At the same time as the indexed insurance part, the cost of the pension coefficient (point) will increase. The provision of social pensioners will not be left without an increase.
List of additional financial support measures and privileges
The range of additional preferences and compensations is quite modest compared to the first or second group. Persons with the third group of health limitations can provide for themselves in social and financial terms.
According to the law, they are entitled to the following types of support:
- 50% reimbursement of the cost of medicines, medical equipment and orthopedic shoes;
- 50% reimbursement of travel expenses;
- Preferential tariff when taking out a compulsory motor liability insurance policy;
- Hiring without a probationary period;
- Providing leave taking into account the wishes of such an employee;
- Half-holiday;
- Compensation of 50% of expenses for utilities and transport tax (in certain regions).
The list above is approximate, you should not rely on it blindly. The full list of benefits can always be clarified at the local branch of the Pension Fund, MFC, USZN.
Military pensioners who become disabled during their service (due to injury or wounding) are provided not only with an additional payment to their pension for group 3 disability. An additional monthly allowance is added to it - DEMO. The following categories of citizens have the right to it:
- Those who went through the Great Patriotic War.
- Participants in the military conflict in Afghanistan (1979-1989).
- Other military personnel who became disabled in service.
- Military personnel who performed their international duty, defended the interests of the Russian Federation beyond its borders, and were injured, leading to disability.
The basis for calculating DEMO is combat injury. The place where it was received, the age of the citizen at which the disability was assigned, the presence or absence of insurance work experience are insignificant factors. The amount of this payment is fixed in 2020: every month - 1000 rubles.
