Military disability pension of 3 groups: terms and conditions of appointment
What is a military pension?
Military and regular labor pensions are very similar to each other, but there are some differences.
- Contributions for the military do not come from the leadership, but from the state.
- There are differences in terms, order in registration. The length of service for the military is called the length of service. Salaries denote a monthly allowance.
Only the general principle has remained unchanged. The higher the salary, together with the length of service, the higher the pensions themselves are paid.
Every citizen doing military service can face unforeseen circumstances that change the state of health for the worse or better. Because of this, performance also suffers. The law provides for the introduction of certain compensations for those who were injured precisely in connection with military service.
The system of such pension provision is detailed in the Federal Law No. 4468-1 of 1993. This document regulates all processes related to military pensions. The order of appointment together with conditions was not an exception.
From the first article it follows exactly which categories of the military can count on additional support from the state in case of unforeseen circumstances:
- Warrant officers, officers and warrant officers who served in the former USSR.
- Citizens who serve on the territory of other countries in the absence of an agreement with the Russian Federation. At the same time, pension payments should not be transferred on the territory of another state.
- Those who serve in other countries, but already under an existing agreement.
- Those who are currently serving in the rank of sailors, foremen, sergeants or soldiers, or officers, warrant officers and warrant officers.
What are the conditions for granting a pension?
A military pension is also due in case of damage to health during service.
In addition, the aforementioned law contains article 19. According to this article, assistance from the state is prescribed if:
- The reason for the disability is damage to the health of the military. And if this happened during the period of service, or a maximum of three months after the contract is terminated.
- If employees, after being fired, receive injuries or contusions, diseases and injuries, which have become the reasons for the assignment of a particular group.
Ordinary military pensions are replaced by social ones with minimal amounts if the cause of disability is the commission of illegal acts.
Disability determination rules
A certificate of disability is the main document that becomes the basis for making any further decisions regarding a particular person. This document is also called the ITU Help.
ITU stands for Medical and Social Expertise. It is carried out specifically to make decisions on disability groups.
Military personnel go through this procedure in much the same way as civilians. First, a messenger sheet is drawn up in the hospital, with a detailed description of the injuries received. Additional evidence is attached that the incident was related specifically to military service.
What categories are taken into account when assigning a pension?
In two cases, this pension is assigned
Article 21 of the Law referred to above mentions two categories of persons to whom state aid is intended.
- Those who have proven that disability is related to military trauma. For example, with a shell shock or injury, hostilities and other types of homeland defense.
- If the disease occurred during the service, although there is no direct connection between the consequences and the performance of duties in the relevant area.
Special military medical commissions are being assembled to establish the fact of the connection between the disease and military service. This issue is not within the competence of ordinary commissions.
About recertification of disability
If the disability is not indefinite, each time you will have to undergo a re-examination
The federal bodies of medical and social expertise are responsible for this procedure. There are only two possible options for the development of events.
- A certificate from ITU is issued for a strictly specified period. The validity period itself must be indicated in the document. This means that at the end of this time, the examination and the medical commission are repeated. Prolongation of disability is always possible if there are appropriate indications. Or there is a change in the group if the state of health contributes to it. If there is no evidence, then the disabled person's status may be deprived. In this connection, the state pension also does not come.
- Sometimes certificates of disability are issued indefinitely. Then the time of the second examination is not indicated on the document. This means that the examination itself established that over time the patient's condition cannot change. And there is no need to constantly re-confirm the status.
After all documents have been submitted, ITU should render its services in a maximum of 30 days. Suspended payments are compensated in full if the fact of missing the deadline is established, but the reason is valid. At the same time, they take into account which disability group was established earlier.
Documents for registration
To deal with the registration of state aid, you need to contact the pension authorities from the Ministry of Defense. You will need to draw up a statement where they will write about the need to receive money. But it is necessary to present additional papers, including:
- The passport.
- Military service ticket.
- Disability certificate issued by the relevant medical institution.
- Results issued by the military-social expertise.
- Other documents that can confirm the very right to receive assistance.
All those who served on conscription can count on state aid due to disability.
You just need to draw up an appeal to employees in the Pension Fund. You cannot do without the documents that have already been written about above.
Information about the amount of payments
The amount of payments will depend on the disability group
Specific figures in payments are determined by which category the citizen is assigned to. Usually the amounts are indicated as a percentage of the social pension. For example, specifically, representatives of the third category can count on 150-175 percent.
In addition, you are eligible for the following allowances:
- 100 percent of the social pension is paid to those who reach the age of 80, or receive the first group.
- 32, 64 or 100 percent are added to the first and second group, if its owner does not work, but supports other family members who are recognized as disabled.
If we talk about standard pensions for people with disabilities, then for representatives of the third group it is 40-50 percent of the usual monetary allowance.
Can the pension be increased?
Indexation is an increase in the size of pensions due to the fact that consumer prices for products are increasing in the country. Specific figures depend on what kind of social assistance is transferred to this or that citizen. With each indexing, the military gets more, like everyone else.
The estimated amount of pensions is also used to determine additional benefits. 100 and 50 percent is added to those who received the title of Hero of the USSR or the Russian Federation, one of the Orders of Military Glory. In this case, an increase occurs for each title that has been received.
If the father and mother are caring for disabled children and both receive a pension, then only one parent can receive the supplement for dependents.
If you have the right to receive several allowances at once, only one, maximum, is selected. Even if two pensions are issued at once, the supplement is applied to only one.
Revision of the size and change of pension
The condition of a disabled person can also change, become better or worse. Then the members of the examination group of disability can be revised. In this case, payments are increased or decreased.
On the payment of pensions to military invalids
Pensions can be issued through the Russian post office
There are several ways in which you can get money. Either the pensioner himself or a trusted person is responsible for this process. When resolving the issue, you can contact one of the following organizations:
- Post office. The money is sent either directly to your home or to one of the nearest branches. You just need to take into account how long it will take for delivery in each case.
- The most common option is when a bank account is opened to receive pensions. It doesn't matter if a special book or a regular card is used. Funds are received immediately, on the day of transfer.
- There are also third-party organizations that take on the delivery function. They work in the same way as the Russian Post. Only tariffs can be used by others. You can find out the addresses and details of such enterprises from the employees of the fund itself.
How long is the aid paid?
The following features related to payments can be distinguished here.
- The military disability pension is assigned for the period as long as the certificate itself is valid. Indefinite registration is possible only for those who are already over 55 and 60 years old. At the request of a pensioner, if necessary, a re-examination is passed.
- If the pensioner is recognized as able-bodied, then the money is paid until the end of the month in which the new decision is made. But the maximum allowable limit is the period until the end of which the disability itself is valid.
Payouts: Suspension and Resume
Why is there a suspension of payments?
The rules for military pensioners in this area differ little from other areas of work. If a citizen's right to help is suspended, then payments do not come until the right is restored.
The situation with missing the term for re-examination deserves a separate discussion. If the deadline is missed, then the cash benefit is simply not paid. And it continues only if the pensioner is again recognized as disabled.
The only exceptions are situations when the reason for the pass is recognized as valid.
On the right to receive a second pension
Second pension: to whom and for what?
Sometimes it happens that a person leaves military service and takes another job that has nothing to do with past events and skills.
For example, you can start teaching in colleges or serve as private security guards. At the same time, a military pension for disability and seniority is also issued.
If the leaders formalize everything officially and legally, deduct funds to the Pension Fund, then in addition to the usual military pension, you can receive an insurance pension.
- It is paid when the generally established age is reached, which for men and women is 60 and 55, respectively. Age decreases only for those who work in difficult conditions, for example, in the Far North.
- An important condition is pension points collected in a certain amount.
- In addition, a military pension is issued due to the length of service or length of service of a certain duration.
- By 2017, the insurance experience when applying for a pension must be at least 8 years.
If there are periods of military service already accounted for by the Department of Defense, they cannot be used when calculating standard pay. Insurance compensation comes to retirees without the use of fixed payments.
About monthly cash payments
One of the types of benefits is receiving preferential drugs
This is the name of the monetary equivalent of various benefits of a social nature. Or the expression of such benefits in material form. Additional compensation is provided for the 3rd disability group.
What is included in the standard set of benefits?
- Free medicines. Or providing a discount of up to 50 percent.
- Exemption from fares for commuter, standard public transport.
- Treatment available to all in a sanatorium-resort environment.
The disabled person himself can choose which benefits he wants to receive. To do this, it is enough to contact the employees in the Pension Fund. And write a statement using a special form.
Who belongs to the disabled of the third group?
The difference between disabled people of the third group is that they can serve themselves, but they cannot do without some special devices.
There are several reasons that allow you to get exactly the third group of disability.
- A person is able to serve himself, but he cannot do without some special devices.
- Independent movement is possible, but the speed and reaction are much lower than that of ordinary people.
- It is required to observe a special regime when teaching a person.
- It is necessary to reduce physical activity in the case of performance of work duties.
Social pension
Its main advantage is the appointment, regardless of whether the disabled person has a working experience or not. On the positive side, such payments involve a strictly fixed amount. For example, in 2016 it was equal to 4 thousand rubles.
Assistance in caring for a disabled person of the third group
Today there are no benefits for the care of a disabled person of the 3rd group.
Now there are no additional benefits in connection with the organization of caring for people who have received the third group. After all, such people can take care of themselves, and under certain conditions - and continue to perform work duties.
There is only one exception. If a worker has been caring for a disabled person for a certain period. Then compensation is due in connection with the temporary loss of permanent income.
But the amount of such compensation is usually small, it is determined based on the average earnings over the past six months.
Some features of the accrual
The amount of pensions depends on the length of service and contributions
The amount of standard pensions depends directly on the following factors:
- Salary and its level.
- Contributions to the Pension Fund.
The law does not provide for any allowances or special features for those representatives of this group who have decided not to continue working.
The amount of pensions is increased to 5 thousand rubles if the disability was received in childhood. These are fixed payments that cannot be recalculated. Only indexing can contribute to changes up or down.
Of the most serious changes in this direction, it is worth pointing out the indexation, which is carried out annually. For example, in 2016 it was up to 4 percent. Sometimes the second waves of indexing are outlined, but their implementation depends on various factors. The government makes an individual decision each time. And the procedure and conditions for pensions do not change in any way; in this regard, the government adheres to the standards.
