The most common form of state pension payments is associated with a person reaching a certain age when he can “go on a well-deserved retirement.” The disability pension has a different specificity - this payment is received by those who, due to their physical characteristics, are often unable to work, which is confirmed by the corresponding document - a medical and social examination report. However, disability does not necessarily imply absence of work activity. Many people with disabilities can work very successfully and efficiently.
What is a disability pension?
In accordance with the definition of current legislation, a disabled person is a person who has a health disorder and impairment of body functions due to a disease, defect or injury that limits his life activity. Disability is established by the federal department of medical and social examination (MSE), which assigns the first, second or third group. A person recognized as disabled has the right to state monthly payments, which are assigned to citizens by the Pension Fund of Russia.
Types of disability pensions
Pension legislation distinguishes three types of disability pensions:
- Insurance - receiving this type of security implies that at the time of the onset of disability, the person had work experience. In this case, the cause of disability and the moment of its onset, as well as the duration of the work history, do not matter. If in order to establish state insurance payments in the usual form, it is necessary to reach retirement age, then this is not necessary here.
- Social – assigned to disabled children, disabled children, and representatives of groups I, II and III who do not have work experience.
- State - it is prescribed to military personnel, cosmonauts and liquidators of man-made disasters who received injuries and serious illnesses as a result of performing official duties. This also includes participants in the Great Patriotic War and residents of besieged Leningrad.
Disability pension amount
Depending on the group assigned and other factors, the size of state pension payments varies, so additional information is needed to answer the question of how much they pay for disability. According to their tariffs, the following will receive benefits: a child with cerebral palsy (RUB 13,560.15) or a military pensioner with length of service who was seriously wounded in combat (RUB 28,830.66).
For recipients of insurance pensions, in addition to the fixed payment, in some cases bonuses are awarded (for family members with disabilities, etc.), which significantly increase the final total. In its pure form, the dimensions of the base part from February 1, 2017 are:
- For group I – 9,610.22 rubles/month.
- For group II – 4,805.11 rubles/month.
- For group III – 2,402.56 rubles/month.
The size of social pensions also differs depending on the category of recipients:
- For group I – 10,068.53 rubles/month.
- For group II – 5,034.25 rubles/month.
- For group III – 4279.14 rubles/month.
Minimum disability pension
The structure of paid state insurance coverage consists of two parts, and although payments are made in total, they can be broken down into individual components. In this case, the basic part represents the minimum amount that a person can receive without additional payments (for example, if he has very little work experience and is not entitled to anything else). In such cases, it is necessary to make a choice in favor of a social pension - this is permitted by law.
Allowances
In addition to the insurance part, if there is work experience, the total amount of pension provision for an individual may be supplemented by other allowances. These could be monthly cash payments (MCB), which are received by those who have refused a set of social services in kind. The main areas included in the Tax Code, which can pay in the form of a financial equivalent, are the following:
- provision of necessary medicines and medical products;
- sanatorium and resort provision of vouchers to medical and health institutions;
- free travel to and from the treatment site.
How to apply
In order to apply for state social security, you must complete the following steps:
- Obtain official confirmation of disability. This process is carried out by the federal structures of the ITU, with their help the category of a pensioner is established.
- Collect a package of documents and prepare an application.
- Provide the necessary papers to the Pension Fund (persons who have traveled abroad or do not have registration should contact the central office at the address - Moscow, Shabolovka, 4).
- The registration period is 10 days from the date of submission of the full package of documents, and the pension for disabled people will be calculated from the date of submission of the application.
Conditions for awarding a disability insurance pension
If, in order to receive social security, it is enough that a disability has been established, then in order to calculate payments under the insurance scheme, it is mandatory to have length of service (at the same time, this type of pension is established regardless of the duration of work). In addition, this pension option will depend on the size of the fixed benefit, which is influenced by the following factors:
- I, II or III disability group assigned to the citizen;
- presence of dependents (disabled family members);
- duration of labor activity in the Far North.
Documentation
The list of documents that you submit to the Pension Fund must include:
- application in the prescribed form;
- passport;
- ITU act;
- SNILS;
- work book or contract with the employer confirming the length of the insurance period (not necessary for the social option).
How is a disability pension calculated?
For example, see how to calculate the amount of disability payment if you have insurance coverage. When calculating, a special pension coefficient is used, which is formed due to length of service and transfers to the Pension Fund. The basic formula looks like RP = MF + FS, where:
- RP – pension amount;
- SCh – insurance part;
- FS – fixed amount.
In this case, MF = PC x SB, in this formula:
- PC – the sum of accumulated pension coefficients;
- SB - the cost of one point (in 2019 - 78.28 rubles).
This can be seen in a specific example: the cause of group I disability for a person with 10 years of insurance experience is an industrial injury. It is necessary to calculate the amount of government payment if the sum of points is 27.6. Substitute the values and find out how much you need to pay:
- SP = 78.28 rub. x 27.6 = 2160.53 rub.
- Since the fixed state payment for group I is known, then RP = 9610.22 rubles. + 2160.53 rub. = 11770.75 rub.
How is it calculated?
Social security for disabled people in Russia, in addition to government payments designed for different categories of pensioners, also provides for indexation coefficients in order to keep up with the inflation rate. For example, from February 1, 2017, the insurance pension and the fixed payment to it were indexed by 5.4%, increasing this disability benefit for socially vulnerable segments of the population.
Suspension and termination of payment
The legislation examines in detail cases when the pension provision of disabled people may have restrictions. Payment of the assigned pension is suspended until the situation is clarified or the interfering circumstances are eliminated in the following cases:
- if social security is not received for six months in a row;
- when, within three months, a disabled person does not come for a scheduled re-examination;
- when a pensioner leaves for permanent residence in a foreign country.
The pension will stop being paid if:
- the recipient dies;
- more than six months have passed since the date of suspension of issuance and the situation has not been resolved;
- in case of loss of the right to the assigned security;
- when a disabled person reaches age, to assign an old-age insurance pension.
Pension for disabled children
This category includes children under 18 years of age who have diseases and disabilities that interfere with normal life activities. Their pension provision can be called high (over 13.5 thousand rubles), compared with other categories of disabled people. In addition, the families of such children are also entitled to significant benefits (for example, they do not have to pay for preschool institutions).

Many Russians want to know in what cases a disability pension is awarded? The answer is simple: only when you document the fact of disability. A disability pension can be insurance, social or state - each of these types of pension provision for Russian citizens has its own characteristics and conditions, and the size of pensions also differs.
According to Russian pension legislation, a disability pension can be assigned for the period for which a particular disability group has been assigned by a medical and social examination (MSEC), or for an indefinite period in the bodies of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of residence of the disabled person. Disability pensions are indexed annually, to a certain extent protecting pension payments from inflation.
What is the disability pension established in 2019?
The legislation of the Russian Federation establishes three types of disability pensions, depending on the availability of work (insurance) experience and a number of other factors:
1. Social disability pensions
The concept of a social pension implies a special type of pension, when a citizen has not acquired the right to receive an old-age labor pension. It is assigned to categories of citizens who have received disability groups 1, 2, 3. This group includes disabled children and children with disabilities.
2. Insurance (Labor) disability pension
If a citizen works throughout his life, accumulates experience and makes appropriate insurance contributions, then he will “earn” an old-age pension upon reaching the age established by law. The question arises: “Why did the disability pension get the name labor?” Let's figure out who a disabled person is - a citizen forced to lead limited life activities due to health problems or injury. In other words, a person cannot take care of himself, cannot engage in full-time work, study, or take part in various activities available to ordinary people. Therefore, he is assigned a disability pension, which, in essence, acts as compensation to the citizen for his possible earnings, which he would receive if he had the opportunity to work full-time.
A disability insurance pension is assigned and paid to a citizen recognized as a disabled person of group I, II, or III and who has at least one day of insurance experience. Recognition of a citizen as a disabled person and establishment of a disability group is carried out by federal institutions of ITU.
3. State disability pension
If a person has a general work experience, which is provided for by the laws of the Russian Federation, but for certain reasons a disability is documented. The assignment of such a pension will not depend on the length of the citizen’s length of service.
Who can apply for a state disability pension?
- Persons who took part in hostilities;
- Participants of the Great Patriotic War;
- Military personnel;
- Astronauts;
- Persons who received the sign “Residents of besieged Leningrad”.
You should know that if you continue to work, it does not in any way affect the disability pension granted by the state.
How to calculate a disability pension?
In order to calculate the disability pension, a special formula is used:
P = PC / (T x K) + B
- P is the amount of the assigned disability pension;
- PC – estimated pension capital of a citizen who has received a disability;
- T – months until the moment when the old-age pension should be assigned;
- K – the ratio of the insurance period to the indicator equal to 180 months;
- B – basic amount of disability pension.
What is the size of the disability pension for group 1?
If we talk about the disability insurance pension of the first group, then the basic amount of the fixed payment to the disability insurance pension from January 1, 2019 is 5334 rubles 19 kopecks per month. Wherein the amount of a fixed payment to the disability insurance pension, taking into account increases to it is:

If a disabled person of group III has an insurance period, the duration of which does not matter, and regardless of the cause of disability and the time of its onset, then he has the right to a fixed payment to the disability insurance pension of group III, taking into account increases to it:

EDV and NSU for disabled people in 2019
The state has provided cash payments every month to disabled citizens (EDC). Since February 1, 2019, the EDV has been indexed by 4.3%. The indexation amount is determined based on the inflation rate for 2018. To implement this procedure, you should visit the Pension Fund branch located at your place of actual residence and fill out an application for calculating the EDV payment. In addition to the application, you must have the following package of documents with you:
- a certificate confirming that the person is truly disabled;
- passport of the Russian Federation;
- pension insurance certificate.
There are cases when a citizen falls under two categories of pension payments, for example, he is a participant in hostilities and a group 1 disabled person, then a disability pension will be assigned only on one basis, where the amount is greater.
Also, people with disabilities can count on receiving a set of social services, which is included in the social monthly cash payment. The set of social services (NSS) included in the EDV was also indexed by 4.3%. It can be provided either in kind or in cash. The cost of the full cash equivalent of NSO from February 1, 2019 increased to 1121.42 rubles per month, which includes:
- Providing a disabled person with doctor’s prescriptions with free medicines, medical products, as well as specialized medical nutrition products for disabled children costing 863.75 rubles;
- Submission, if there are medical indications, for a disabled person of a voucher for sanatorium-resort treatment carried out for the purpose of preventing major diseases, costing 133.62 rubles;
- Free travel for disabled people on suburban railway transport, as well as on intercity transport to the place of treatment and back, costing 124.05 rubles.
This set of social benefits can be received in cash, but you must submit a corresponding application to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation before October 1 in order to change the form in kind to cash or vice versa next year.
Disability pensions after the start of the 2019 pension reform
What new happened after the start of the pension reform in 2019, when the retirement age for women and men was raised? A new law “On Insurance Pensions” has been issued, according to which by 2025 citizens will have to work for at least fifteen years (previously 5) in order to count on an old-age insurance (labor) pension. Persons caring for disabled children belonging to group 1 have a question: “How can they earn a retirement pension if they cannot work due to life circumstances?” There is no need to worry - the law is on the side of this category of citizens. The entire period of caring for a disabled child of group 1 is automatically included in the length of service required for calculating an old-age pension.
Those citizens who have been confirmed with a specific disability group can also count on an insurance (labor) disability pension - it can be indefinite or given for a certain period.
What can a disabled person count on in addition to the basic pension? Depending on the disability group, the state has assigned special coefficients. In addition, there are various social payments, and in order to receive them, you should contact the Pension Fund or social protection authorities with a minimum package of documents and an application.
Since the beginning of 2019, insurance pensions for non-working pensioners have increased and will now be regularly indexed along with regular insurance pension payments, as the government and the president promise. Along with the disability insurance pension, a fixed payment to it was also indexed (analogous to the former fixed base amount). At the same time, since 2019, the size of the monthly cash payment (MCP) to federal beneficiaries (veterans, disabled people, citizens exposed to radiation, Heroes of the Soviet Union and Russia, Heroes of Socialist Labor, etc.) has been indexed by 4.3%. These pension increases affect more than 15 million federal beneficiaries.
During their lives, some Russians may experience situations as a result of which they can no longer engage in work at full capacity. This happens when there are injuries at work and at home, or the presence of chronic diseases that limit people’s life activities. There is a category of children who, from birth or already in childhood, are not similar to their peers: they are lagging behind in mental development or have injuries to various organs.
Conditions
One of the main legislative acts for the protection of people with disabilities in Russia is Federal Law-181 (last edition of June 2017). There are three types of disability pension benefits: insurance, social, and state.Recipients of an insurance pension can, if possible, continue to work; recipients of a social pension during employment do not have the right to payment.
For social pensions, Russian citizenship and registration are a prerequisite.
Decor
To receive a pension payment, you must submit an application. This can be done through the Pension Fund of Russia divisions at the place of registration, actual residence or place of stay when visiting them personally or by a legal representative.It is possible to submit an application to multifunctional centers for the provision of public services, or by mail to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Russians who have registered on the Pension Fund website and have a personal page can submit an application electronically.
Persons applying for a disability insurance pension without registration on the territory of the Russian Federation submit an application to the central office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation - Moscow, Shabolovka, 4.
Who should?
Insurance payment is issued for those Russians who have spent at least one day in their lives at work with official registration and execution of deductions for the period of their working activity in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Social benefits are assigned to children and persons without work experience. State - to persons who served in government agencies, incl. and security forces, and some other citizens. In any case, deterioration in health must be confirmed by a certificate from a special medical institution - ITU. Depending on their health status, persons with disabilities are divided into groups and can claim: When assigning state pension benefits, the established disability group is also important to determine the amount of payment.Disability insurance pension
This pension benefit is paid to disabled citizens until they reach a certain age. In the future, without filing an application, this type is transferred to old-age insurance payment.According to the current law Federal Law-400, it is necessary to have at least 180 months of experience and 30 units of personal coefficient. In 2017, according to the transitional provisions, 96 months of experience and 11.4 units of IPC are sufficient.
Early transfer to old age pension is possible for certain categories of citizens (teachers, doctors, lists 1,2). Citizens who do not have sufficient length of service and personal pension coefficient points will automatically be transferred to an old-age social pension at 60 (65) years of age, depending on the gender of the pensioner. To calculate the amount of the benefit, a formula similar to other assigned insurance payments is used: RV = FC + SK/(PV*KS), Where:
- RV – the amount of pension insurance payment.
- PF – fixed part.
- IC – the amount of insurance capital (funds collected in the citizen’s account in the PRF).
- PV – period of payment of the insurance pension (for 2017-18 – 240 months).
- KS – length of service coefficient (ratio of months worked to 180), cannot be more than 1.0.
Social
Social benefits are assigned to persons without work experience. Has a fixed size. If the amount is less than the subsistence level for a pensioner in the territory of residence, the disabled person is paid additionally to the minimum level.When disabled children reach 18 years of age, the category of the required social payment for benefits for disabled people from childhood of groups I, II or III changes.
Upon reaching 65 (60 for women) years, the social disability pension is replaced by an old-age pension benefit.
State
The main recipients of the state disability pension benefit are military personnel and persons equivalent to them. There are already very few survivors of the Second World War, liquidators of the Chernobyl accident and survivors of the blockade in Leningrad.Military personnel can receive this payment in a situation where the determination of disability occurred during military service or before the expiration of 3 months from the date of dismissal from service.
Siege survivors and war participants whose health deteriorated due to intentional harm to their health or as a result of actions contrary to the laws of the Russian Federation can only count on social pension benefits.

For each of the three types of disability pensions there is its own scale of basic payments. Insurance pension benefit:| Disability group | Amount depending on the number of dependents, rubles | |||

In this case, he even has the opportunity to work.

If there is no clear medical prohibition on work of particular complexity, then a disabled person can perform it by drawing up his written consent. If a working employee has received group 2 disability, then at the time of providing the certificate, the employer may deny him further opportunity to work for him. Or, at the time of layoff, such an employee will be one of the first to be hit.

Painful symptoms must be present for at least 6 months. The commission will establish not only involvement in group 2 disability, but also indicate 1 of the 4 degrees of ability that are included in it.
To pass MSEC you need to collect a package of documents. It is based on: a passport, a referral from a medical institution and medical documents on the profile of the disease (medical records, certificates and epicrises). Other documents may also be required, depending on the social status of the patient.
