The concept of NSO for people with disabilities

The state provides 2 types of support for those in need:

• Material
• Natural

In the first case, it is likely that you will receive a fixed amount of money to reimburse expenses associated with recovery procedures.

The second type of support looks more interesting, since the victim is provided with assistance as a set of social services. What it is?

NSO is a federal program designed to protect certain social categories recognized by the state as unprotected. These include people who are unable to take care of themselves due to old age or health conditions.

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide a clear formulation of the term, but most often the abbreviation refers to humanitarian assistance to residents receiving monthly cash payments. Support is a range of options that people need more than others.

For whom has the set of social services been developed by legislators and what are they expressed in?

Natural exchange without commodity-money relations was typical back in the Middle Ages. In our country, this process has transformed into a situation where a citizen in need receives the necessary products, things, and assistance in kind.

Dear readers! The article talks about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to find out how to solve your particular problem , contact a consultant:

Thus, the importance of money is denied, and the Russian Federation justifies the title of a “social democratic state.”

Procedure for provision and registration of services

The registration procedure contains several mandatory steps, performed according to a strict sequence:

• Collect a package of necessary papers.
• Contact your local representative office of the Russian Pension Fund.
• Get a certificate of receipt of the grant
• Use a set of public guarantees

Processing of the submitted application takes 10 working days from the date of application. After the request is approved, another 5 days are given to inform the pensioner about a positive verdict.

Documents for registration

For registration you will need to collect a certain package of documents:

• Completed application for assistance.
• Personal contact information.
• Russian passport (if the person is under 18 years of age, a birth certificate will be required).
• Pension certificate (if necessary).
• SNILS number.
• A certificate confirming the fact of injury.
• Extract from the ITU report (for veterans of Afghanistan and the Chechen campaign).

This list is mandatory for entering the person in need into the unified state register and putting it on the balance sheet.

Important information: When the person being registered has not reached the age of 18 or is declared incompetent, the application is made by his legal representative. Then, to the standard package it is necessary to add an extract on the right of the guardian to act on behalf of the disabled person.

A disabled participant in the Second World War must provide employees of the Pension Fund with an appropriate certificate confirming his status.

Competent authorities

To participate in the national project, an incapacitated Russian must submit an application through the branch of the Russian Pension Fund (PFR) at his place of registration.

If the applicant has not reached the age of majority or is declared legally incompetent, the EDV is issued at the place of registration of the official representatives of the victim (parents or guardians). When blood relatives live separately, the Pension Fund department is chosen according to the child’s place of residence with one of the closest relatives.

This is important: Starting from the age of 14, a child can independently receive depreciation subsidies.

To apply for benefits you do not need to perform any additional manipulations. A disabled person acquires the right to receive benefits in kind automatically during registration. Pension Fund employees issue a special certificate confirming the applicant’s eligibility. When filling out the form, be sure to indicate the category of disability, the list of available benefits for the current year, as well as the license period.

Attention: If the applicant is unable to complete the application on his own for natural reasons, an authorized representative or proxy can submit the application in his place.

An incapacitated person has the right to submit an application through the MFC office or remotely through the Internet portal “Gosuslugi.ru”.

Cash payments to disabled combat veterans

The right to receive EDV and NSU is granted to citizens who have acquired a disability as a result of a combat injury. For this category of persons, the amount of EDV is set as follows:

The basis for assigning payment to disabled combatants is a document issued by a medical institution and confirming that the reason for assigning disability was an injury (wound, mutilation, concussion) or disease acquired during military service or participation in hostilities.

Disabled people who participated in the Second World War also have the right to receive EDV in the specified amount, regardless of the reasons for the assignment of disability.

What is included in the NSO

According to Article 6.2 of Federal Law No. 178, social services for pensioners and disabled people imply the following concessions:

• Obtaining special medications to combat specific diseases, as well as special products intended for children with disabilities. This includes rare drugs that are dispensed by pharmacies strictly according to the prescription of the attending physician.
• Trips to medical sanatoriums and health resorts for the purpose of preventing acute and chronic diseases. The minimum period of rest for children is 3 weeks, and for adults - at least 18 calendar days.
• Preferential transfer for spa treatment by rail or intercity transport. For minors, the expenses of the accompanying representative are subject to compensation.

To take advantage of the right to preferential travel, a pensioner must receive a referral to a sanatorium and a personalized travel ticket intended for use on long-distance routes. It is worth noting that the travel card loses its validity without providing a certificate giving the right to preferential treatment.

Statistical information:

According to statistics, Russians spent about 200 billion on medicines in 2020, which is about 6,500 for one compatriot, and about 540 per month. The actual figures differ from the average for Russia. The most critical group is the elderly. Pensioners save 3-5 thousand monthly to pay for medications.

The list of drugs included in the federal program is strictly regulated. Based on the approved list, the doctor has the right to write a prescription to receive a certain drug free of charge during a course of inpatient treatment.

NSO for the incapacitated

Every February 1, the Pension Fund conducts an annual indexation of all types of financial subsidies. The planned changes will also affect 2020. For the current period, it is planned to increase contributions to disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3 by 4.3%. According to Rosstat, the increase in rates fully corresponds to the level of inflation in the economy. The updated subsidy will be larger than the similar NSO for people with disabilities in 2020, and the financial equivalent will be 1075.19.

Mandatory expenses included here:

• Financial compensation for medicines – 828.14.
• Referral for a vacation to a resort complex (no more than once in 2 years) – 128.11.
• Preferential travel pass for electric transport – 118.94.

This amount applies to all categories of socially vulnerable sections of the nation. The amount of financial assistance is the same for all federal beneficiaries in the country and does not depend on local increasing coefficients or other bonuses.

1 group

Category 1 includes the most seriously ill residents of the Russian Federation, recognized as incompetent due to serious health problems. Therefore, maximum service is provided for them.

In case of damage or injury to the spinal cord or brain, they receive an increased period of stay in the recreational area, ranging from 24 to 42 days.

If the victim takes advantage of all available benefits, the salary will be 2661.52. If you refuse in-kind assistance, the amount will increase to 3782.94 per month.

2 groups

Persons with moderate disabilities also have the right to receive financial assistance under the approved population subsidy program. The minimum amount of compensation for using the entire range of NSOs is 1580.20 monthly. The financial equivalent for a written refusal of the benefits provided reaches 2701.62.

3 groups

For residents of the country with 3rd degree of disability, the state guarantees the issuance of possible privileges provided for by law. A citizen can use all the “tricks” or leave the most necessary ones at his own discretion.

For people with a mild form of disability, a benefit of 1041.25 is calculated every month, subject to the provision of an accessible range of in-kind benefits. After the termination of additional support, the material refund will be equal to 2162.67 per 30 days.

For disabled children

Disabled children are a special group of the country's population who are included in the federal program.

When going to sanatorium-resort complexes, they are entitled to rest for 21 calendar days instead of the standard 18. Since the child cannot get to the health facility on his own, an accompanying person must always be with him. The law takes this point into account and provides for travel compensation and the right to issue preferential directions not only for a minor child, but also for his guardian.

If a child receives a full set of public privileges, his EDV will be 1580.20. Renunciation of natural compensation increases the monthly allowance to 2701.62.

Labor veterans

Labor veterans are not included in the list of population groups receiving services on preferential terms. If he additionally belongs to one of the specified categories (participants of the Great Patriotic War, disabled people), he is entitled to social guarantees from the state on a general basis.

For combat veterans

Participants in military conflicts in hot spots also apply for subsidies. You can apply for it if you have a disability received during military service.

The standard pension for a veteran is 4107.27, with full-fledged NSS retained. In case of refusal, the cash benefit increases to 5180.46.

The basis for accruing social discounts is a certificate proving the acquisition of disability during participation in military special operations.

Federal beneficiaries

Recipients of social services include all categories of federal beneficiaries. All necessary information is detailed in Art. 6.2 Federal Law No. 178. This includes: provision of vitally necessary special medications, sanatorium visits, as well as free travel on suburban routes to the holiday destination and in the opposite direction.

Refusal from NSO

Disabled people who are recipients of benefits in kind have the right to partially or completely refuse bonuses in order to increase cash benefits.

If the victim completely rejected social services for the disabled, he is paid compensation in kind. In this case, the monthly fee increases by the amount of the NSS, expressed in financial equivalent. Then the victim loses available benefits and receives the necessary assistance on a general basis.

The refusal is issued according to a regulated procedure.

The basis for cancellation of the NSO is an application submitted to the Pension Fund office at the place of registration. The algorithm consists of 4 consecutive steps:

• Filling out a form to refuse in-kind support. The form indicates personal information, as well as a specific selection of benefits that the disabled person does not want to receive in the future.
• Submitting an application through the Pension Fund of Russia branch before September 30. This can be done independently and remotely (by mail or on an electronic website).
• Until December 31 of the current year, pension fund employees calculate the amount of the subsidy for the next year, taking into account the refusal of part of the natural compensation.
• Starting from the new year, social services in relation to the victim are suspended. In return, he receives an increased benefit.

Suspension of provision of NSO

A resident of the country may temporarily not use the benefits due to him with the possibility of further restoration. Freezing pensions does not in any way affect their receipt in the future.

If a resident has reconsidered the decision to refuse the current set for disabled people and wants to “roll back” the changes to the initial level, he must contact the Pension Fund with a corresponding application before September 30 of the current year. The changes will come into force only on January 1 of the next year.

EDV and NSU

A monthly cash payment is a systematic financial assistance from the government aimed at improving the living conditions of people with disabilities for various reasons. It refers to an additional type of support and has no connection with the calculation of a regular pension.

A set of social services for people with disabilities is state assistance to victims, expressed in kind through the provision of necessary measures.

The accrual of NSI occurs simultaneously with the registration of the EDV, but the amount of monetary allowance is reduced by the amount of natural compensation.

A resident of the Russian Federation is able to decide in favor of increasing economic compensation in full or in part. To disable additional options and exchange them for a financial additional payment, you must make a written refusal specifically indicating all unnecessary options.

Increase in EUR after abandonment of NSO

The new AUD amount depends on the list of options that are no longer exercised in relation to the incapacitated person, as well as on the original rate. A person can refuse discounted medications, referrals to recreational resorts, as well as free travel on suburban transport. In case of complete refusal, the disabled person will be reimbursed for benefits in the form of financial compensation totaling 1075.19.

Thus, the monthly subsidy from the authorities will be equal to:

• For group I – 3626.98
• For group II – 2590.24
• For group III – 2073.51
• For minor children with disabilities – 2590.24

The final royalty amount may vary greatly due to different combinations of activated and deactivated features.
