Military disability pension. Latest news on the issue of providing pensions for military personnel disabled by military injuries in the year

02.05.2020

    Monetary compensation as a result of causing damage to citizens during the performance of their military duties is paid in accordance with the requirements of Federal Law No. 306 of November 7, 2011 “On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of individual payments to them.”

    Types of compensation for military personnel when injured in service

    Payments for military injuries in 2017 are made to compensate for the following types of damage caused to the health of a military personnel:

  • during the period of service;
  • as a result of exposure to increased levels of radiation (during maintenance of radiation facilities, testing, liquidation of the consequences of an accident);
  • when illegal actions are committed by representatives of the judicial authorities (inquiry bodies, prosecutor's office);
  • as a result of illegal actions committed by representatives of local government or the military department;
  • during the execution period job responsibilities, if the damage caused to health is not related to the commission of unlawful actions by representatives of various structures.

The procedure for compensation for damage in the event of injury to a military personnel

The one-time compensation that is due to a serviceman (officer, midshipman or warrant officer) is paid after representatives of his part send the necessary package of documents to the appropriate organization that has entered into an agreement with the military department. The package includes the following documents:

  • a statement of the established form, which is written by a military personnel. This document contains a request for payment of benefits to a military personnel in connection with his dismissal from service, during which he received a military injury;
  • a certificate signed by an official of the military unit and the presence of an official seal - to confirm that a serviceman received an injury during the period of service;
  • a certified copy of a medical report (certificate) with information about the serviceman’s illness;
  • a certified copy of the order to exclude from the personnel a part of the serviceman who was injured.

A serviceman can submit all of the listed documents for payment of compensation independently.

The basis for payment of compensation and pension to the injured serviceman in this case will be the cause-and-effect relationship that arose between the incident as a result of which he was injured and the performance of his immediate duties. This connection is confirmed by the conclusion of the military commission.

A serviceman recognized as disabled as a result of injury during service, in order to receive the due compensation, must apply to the state social protection authority at his place of residence vested with the appropriate powers and write a statement in the established form.

This statement must contain:

  • petition for monetary compensation to be paid monthly. The amount of such compensation is established taking into account the disability group assigned to the serviceman;
  • details of the applicant's bank account.

The application must be accompanied by:

  • document (copy) that proves identity;
  • a copy of the conclusion (certificate, certificate) to confirm the fact that the disability group has been established as a result of a military injury;
  • a copy of the order (certificate signed by the unit commander, military ID) confirming the injury to the serviceman during the period of service;
  • a document (copy) confirming that the military personnel have received a pension from the relevant authority;
  • document (copy) on the appointment of a guardian for a military personnel in connection with his recognition as disabled.

Compensation amounts

The legislation established the following amounts of monthly compensation for disabled people:

  • Group I – 14 thousand rubles;
  • Group II – 7 thousand rubles;
  • Group III – 2800 rubles.

Every member of a military family who has become disabled as a result of an injury can also count on receiving compensation. The total amount of compensation will be equal to the derivative of dividing the total amount assigned to the disabled person by the number of family members.

Example. A group II disabled person receives an allowance of 7 thousand rubles. He has a wife and child. The family composition including a disabled person is 3 people. In this case, 7 thousand rubles must be divided by 3 - we get 2333 rubles per person. This means that the wife and child together will receive 4,666 rubles every month. Disabled person - only the 7 thousand rubles assigned to him.

If a serviceman is killed or dies, then each family member receives compensation calculated according to the same principle. The basis is the total amount of compensation for a disabled person of group I.

Monthly monetary compensation can be paid as a total amount to all family members or to each individual individually based on his/her application.

How much are military disability pensions paid in 2017?

A military serviceman's disability pension in 2017 is calculated in accordance with the Federal Law “On State Pension Provision in Russian Federation» dated December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 166-FZ):

  • those who have received group I or II disability due to a military injury are paid 85% of the monetary allowance received during the period of service; Group III – 50%;
  • those who become disabled in group I or II as a result of an illness acquired during service are assigned 75% of the monetary allowance that was paid during the period of service; Group III – 40%.

Disabled military personnel have the right to apply for a social pension (SP), in accordance with Art. 15 of Law No. 166-FZ, the amount of which is:

  • Group I (due to military trauma) – 300%;
  • Group II – 250%;

A military pension in connection with the death of a breadwinner is established for disabled family members of a deceased serviceman (Article 36 of the Federal Law “On pension provision for persons who served military service..." No. 4468-1 dated December 15, 2001) in the amount of:

  • 50% of the monetary allowance – after the death of a serviceman from a military injury;

  • 200% – in case of death from injury;
  • 150% - in case of death of a military man from a disease acquired during service.

Indexation of military pensions is provided for by the state when prices for consumer goods increase.

What a soldier who was injured while on duty needs to know

Citizens dismissed from service due to injury and receiving a disability pension have the right to apply for a second (labor) pension in the following cases:

  • upon reaching a certain age established by law;
  • if there is a minimum length of service to receive a second pension, without taking into account which the disability pension was assigned. From 2016, the insurance period will increase by 1 year (in 2015 it was 6 years) until 2024;
  • if they were granted a pension as an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or other law enforcement agencies due to assignment of disability of group I, II or III.

Judicial practice most often follows the path of satisfying claims for compensation for health damage due to military injuries. Therefore, by properly justifying your demands, you can win the process and receive the amounts due.

Many of our citizens are in military service. Surely each of them who approaches is asking the question - how to apply for a pension?

What's the order? Will there be any changes in 2019?

How to apply for a pension for widows of deceased military personnel, and how to calculate its amount? What news is there about military pensions for the current year?

For this reason, we will consider all these issues in more detail.

Legislative regulation

Today, the issue of providing a military pension is regulated by a considerable number of legislative acts.

To be more specific, we are talking about such laws, How:

This list of bills is not exhaustive, but it is a basic one that military personnel should know when applying for their pension benefits.

The procedure for registration and calculation of pension benefits

For military personnel

Every serviceman in our country, with 20 years of service, has the right to apply for a pension.

Registration procedure is as follows:

It is worth paying attention that all future military pensioners receive a clothing or monetary certificate at the place of military service in accounting.

If a future military pensioner has any benefits, he has the right to provide the military commissariat with a certificate that confirms this.

After submitting the required package of documents, the first payment to the military pensioner will be no later than a 3-month period.

Myself calculation of pension payments according to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, it is carried out as follows:

  • if you have 20 years of experience, the pension is 72.23% of the amount;
  • for each additional year of experience there is an increase of 3%;
  • Depending on the region of residence, an increasing factor may be applied. It directly depends on where the military pensioner served.

It is worth noting that for 2018, the average pension for military personnel throughout the Russian Federation was about 24,500 rubles.

Widows of military personnel

First of all, widows of military pensioners need to pay attention to whether they are already receiving a pension or not. If they do not receive pension benefits, they should apply to the Pension Fund to register; if widows already have a pension, the application goes to the Ministry of Defense (to the military commissariat where the spouse was registered).

In addition to the application itself, which is drawn up together with employees of the military registration and enlistment office or the Pension Fund, it will be necessary to present list of such documentation:

In frequent cases, the authorized body to which widows of deceased military personnel apply may require other documents. In particular, we are talking about the medical report of the cause of death of a serviceman. For this reason, it is recommended to have this document with you when applying for pension payments.

After the entire list has been provided to the authorized body, the decision to grant or refuse a pension is made no later than a 10-day period.

According to current legislation, in particular articles 36, 37 of Law No. 4468, size pension provision due to the loss of a breadwinner is:

  • 50% of the total monetary allowance of the deceased serviceman, if death was caused by an injury incurred during military service;
  • 40% of the amount of monetary allowance if the serviceman died due to any disease acquired during military service.

It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the amount of the additional pension (for the loss of a breadwinner), which is provided to the widows of deceased military personnel, is the product of the PC (pension coefficient) of the deceased by the cost of one PC in the year the pension payment was issued.

In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that if the deceased serviceman already received several pension payments during his lifetime, then the calculated value of the pension allowance should be divided by the total number of disabled people who are dependent.

The euphoria from the “active” actions of Vladimir Shamanov and the State Duma Defense Committee headed by him has ended. On December 7, after consideration of the 2017 budget, bill No. 15473-7, directly related to the indexation of military pensions in 2017, was adopted in the second and third readings.

Chief defender of the 2017-2019 budget. Anton Siluanov

THE FEDERAL LAW

“On suspension of the second part of Article 43 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, authorities for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, Federal Troop Service national guard Russian Federation, and their families" in connection with the Federal Law "On the Federal Budget for 2017 and for the planning period of 2018 and 2019"

Article 1
1. Suspend until January 1, 2018 the effect of part two of Article 43 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993No. 4468-I"On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, authorities for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, the Federal Service of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families "(Gazette of the Congress of People's Deputies of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation, 1993, No. 9, Art. 328; Collection of Legislation of the Russian Federation, 1995, No. 49, Art. 4693; 1998, No. 30, Art. 3613; 2002, No. 27 , Art. 2620; 2003, Art. 2700; 2011, Art. 6407;

2. Establish that the amount of monetary allowance taken into account when calculating pensions in accordance with Article 43 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 No. 4468-I “On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, authorities for control over the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, and their families", from February 1, 2017 is 72.23 percent from the amount of the specified monetary allowance.

Article 2
This Federal Law comes into force on January 1, 2017.

The president
Russian Federation V. Putin

Considering that canceled for another year(until January 1, 2018, that is, the 5th year in a row) indexation of military pay, Also indexation canceledmilitary pensionsby no less than 2 percent from January 1, 2017.

Also silently May Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 604 is not being implemented(dated May 7, 2012) on the annual increase in military pensions by 2 percent above the inflation rate. Inflation planned by the government for 2017 in the budget of 4%, in accordance with this Decree, should have led to an increase in military pensions by at least 6%. But from February 1, 2017, military pensions will be indexed by only 4%(72.23/69.45=1.04). And no further indexation of military pensions is provided for in 2017.

At the beginning of 2017, all pensioners, both military and civilian, will be paid 5 thousand rubles as consolation compensation for the lack of a second indexation of pensions in 2016.

Civil pensions are also planned to be indexed from February 1, 2017, but more than military pensions, that is, in accordance with the 2016 inflation rate (approximately 5.5 percent).

Tighten your seat belts, dear military retirees. You already live well. And all your past achievements, when you risked your health and life, steadfastly endured the difficulties and deprivations of military service, huddled in strange corners, are in the past. The state is trying to forget about them. It’s not easy to forget, but every year, without hesitation, he lowers the standard of living of military pensioners lower and lower and cancels the indexation of pay and military pensions required by law.

P.S. This situation was already observed in the early 2000s and ended with a massive transition of military pensioners to civilian pensions. But today, while average military pensions exceed civilian ones by more than one and a half times, those at the top apparently believe that nothing terrible is happening and military pensioners can once again (many, many times!) be patient and wait until oil reaches $100 per barrel or as a result of some miracle, the Russian economy will not work and its growth rate will be at least 5-7 percent per year.

  • Firstly, insurance premiums for military personnel are made by the state, not the employer.
  • Secondly, there are differences in the terminology itself and the procedure for processing payments, for example, the length of service in the military is called length of service, the salary is monthly allowance for a military personnel(EDDV).

Among the similarities, one can note the same principle: the greater the length of service (length of service) and the higher the salary, the greater the final amount of payments will be.

In the life of every citizen undergoing military service, whether a conscript or a contract employee, a man or a woman, unforeseen circumstances may occur that will seriously affect his health, and as a result, his ability to work. Despite a certain negative tone regarding the entire pension provision for this category of citizens, the law provides for compensation and payments people who have become disabled as a result of serving in the armed forces (or equivalent structures) - military and state disability pensions.

Which military personnel are entitled to a disability pension?

The military pension system, regardless of what type of payment they receive - or for disability, is reflected in the law of February 12, 1993 N 4468-1. This document regulates all processes related to military pensions, including the assignment of payments.

From Article 1 of this law it follows that the following categories of military personnel are entitled to disability payments through the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation(of course, if the conditions described below are met):

  • citizens serving in the ranks of officers, midshipmen and warrant officers, military service (or service equivalent to it), or serving on a contract basis as soldiers, sergeants, foremen or sailors;
  • military personnel serving in other states, subject to an agreement or agreement between the Russian Federation and the country where the citizen is serving, and also if the laws of the state provide for such a pension option;
  • citizens serving in other countries in the absence of an agreement between the Russian Federation and the country, and also if its laws do not provide for pension provision in this option;
  • persons who served as warrant officers, officers and midshipmen in the armed forces (and equivalent formations) in the former USSR.

It is worth highlighting conscripts- their pension provision is passing through the Russian Pension Fund, they receive a state pension in accordance with Federal Law dated December 15, 2001 N 166-FZ.

Conditions for granting a disability pension

Article 19 of the above-mentioned law states that a disability pension can be awarded to military personnel who:

  • suffered damage to health resulting in disability, during service in the armed forces or three months after completion of service;
  • due to injury, contusion, illness or injury received during service, they became disabled, but already after dismissal.

It is worth noting that if the cause of injury or another factor resulting in disability is the unlawful actions of a military serviceman (in other words, if he has committed a crime), instead of a military disability pension, he will be awarded.

Determination of disability

As in the case of social or disability pensions, the main document for assigning payments to military personnel of this nature is certificate of disability, or in other words - ITU certificate, in most organizations referred to as a “pink certificate”.

This certificate is issued by the authority medical and social examination(ITU), which conducts expert assessments of health and social adaptation potential disabled person.

The process of obtaining this certificate for military personnel is not fundamentally different from that of “civilians” - drawing up a delivery note in the hospital, detailed description injuries resulting in disability, confirmation that the injury is related specifically to military service, etc.

Categories of disabled people taken into account when assigning a pension

The Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 N 4468-1 allocates two groups of people who can receive military pension on disability. Whether a citizen belongs to one category or another depends on the causes of disability:

  • persons who have disability occurred due to military injury- shell shock, wounds, illness or injury received in connection with combat operations, service on the border or other types of state defense, as well as being in captivity (provided that the captivity was violent and the citizen did not commit crimes against the Motherland during it) or service in the active army as cabin boys and trainees;
  • citizens whose disability is caused by illness, injury, etc., received during military service, but at the same time not related to direct execution official duties.

Establishing the fact of a connection between an injury or illness and military service (as well as the absence thereof) is not the responsibility of the ITU, but of military medical commissions.

Re-examination of disability

Depending on the period of disability, the pensioner may need re-examination in the federal bodies of medical and social examination. There may be two options here:

  1. The ITU certificate was issued for clearly defined deadline(it is indicated in the help). This means that after this period you need to go through re-examination, the date of which is indicated on this document. If there are indications for establishing disability, it will be extended (or the disability group will be changed, depending on the citizen’s health condition). If there is no evidence, the citizen will be deprived of his disabled status and will not be able to receive a state disability pension.
  2. Certificate of disability issued indefinitely. In this case, the date of re-examination will not be on the certificate - because the examination found that the disabled person’s condition will not change over time, which means there is no point in confirming disability - the citizen will have the status of a disabled person and the right to receive a disability pension for the rest of his life.

Citizen I. was injured during combat operations abroad and on May 14, 2017 received an ITU certificate, which establishes his I disability group. The date of the next re-examination is May 13, 2018. When is the best time to start preparing all the necessary documents for a medical and social examination so as not to lose your pension?

Clause 12 of the order dated January 29, 2014. N 59n of the Ministry of Labor and Social protection The Russian Federation states that the maximum period for the provision of ITU services from the moment of submission of all necessary documents is no more than 30 days.

In addition, if the re-examination does not occur on time, but according to good reason(hospitalization/long queue for examination), the suspended pension will be paid in full size based on the previous disability group. (Article 27 of the Law of the Russian Federation dated February 12, 1993 N 4468-1)

Based on this rule, citizen I. is required to start collecting documents in advance, for example, a month before the end of the established disability, i.e. April 13, 2018. With this approach, all actions will be completed on time, even if there is a queue for commissions at the ITU (which is usually what employees of medical and social examination departments refer to), and after submitting a certificate of disability to the territorial body of the Pension Fund of Russia (Pension Fund of Russia), citizen I. will continue receive a state disability pension.

Documents for applying for a disability pension by the military

In order to become a recipient of this payment, a citizen must contact the pension authorities of the Ministry of Defense with an application for a disability pension. This application will need to be accompanied by additional documents, such as:

  1. Passport.
  2. Military ID.
  3. Certificate of disability issued by the federal medical and social examination body.
  4. Results of the military medical commission (which assigns the appropriate category of disability to a citizen, depending on the conditions for the onset of disability).
  5. Other documents confirming the right to receive payments of this nature.

If the disabled person is a citizen who has undergone conscription, he is entitled state disability pension. To appoint it, he must contact the territorial body of the Russian Pension Fund at his place of residence. Again, to apply for this type of pension, all of the above documents will be required.

The size of military disability pensions in 2019

Current legislation divides the amount of disability payments depending on which category of disabled pensioners the citizen belongs to. In order to calculate the amount of a military disability pension for contract military personnel, you can use the table (percentages are indicated on the amount of monetary allowance taken into account when calculating payments):

Amount of pension payments for conscripted military personnel who received a disability is shown in the table below, which is established as a percentage of(from April 1, 2018 - from 5240.65 rubles, to - 5034.25 rubles):

It is worth noting that this table also reflects minimum amount of military disability pension.

Disability pensioners are entitled to the following allowances:

  • When the first disability group is established or the age of 80 is reached, 100% of the social pension is paid in addition.
  • If a disabled person of the first and second groups does not work, and he has disabled family members dependent on him, 32%, 64% or 100% of the calculated pension amount is added to him (depending on the number of dependents - 1, 2 or 3 (or more)).

Increasing pensions for military pensioners

The state provides for an increase in the amount of payments in connection with rising consumer prices - indexing. Pension provision for military personnel depends on the amount of monetary allowance and used in calculating the pension. Military pay has not been indexed for 5 years, as a result of which in 2018 they decided to increase it by the projected inflation rate for the next year - by 4%, however, the value of the reduction coefficient should be left unchanged - 72.23%.

Because The amount of additional payments to the military disability pension depends on estimated size(), with each indexation of social disability pensions, the amount of payments to the military also increases. From April 1, 2018, all social pensions will be indexed by 4.1%, which means that the calculated size will also increase. Increased size in 2018 will remain until April 1, 2019.

Additional payments to the disability pension for military personnel are also determined from the calculated amount of the pension. At the same time, there are a number of features outlined in Art. 46 and 48 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 N 4468-1, relating to conditions for assigning a bonus:

  1. If a pensioner has received the following titles:
    • Hero of the Russian Federation, Hero of the Soviet Union, or he is awarded the Order of Glory of three degrees, then 100% of the pension amount is added to him.
    • Hero of Socialist Labor, Hero of Labor of the Russian Federation - pension increases by 50%.

    In the event that a pensioner is awarded these awards or titles, the pension increases for each title received.

  2. Supplement for disabled family members dependent on a military pensioner, provided that two or more people receive such a pension, is assigned to only one of such pensioners. In other words, if a father and mother receive a state disability pension and they have two children, then only one parent can receive the allowance for two children (or each parent will receive the allowance for one dependent).
  3. If a pensioner has the right to several increases in the amount of pension, then from them the largest is selected. This will be taken into account when increasing the payment.
  4. When receiving two pensions at the same time, bonuses are established to only one of them.

Changing the disability group and revising the pension amount

There are cases when a disabled person’s health status changes (for the worse or better side) - in this case, the medical and social examination bureau has the right review his disability group. Depending on various factors, the ITU can determine both the group that is entitled to a larger pension payment and the one that is entitled to a smaller pension.

If, as a result of a military injury, disability increases due to a general illness, work injury or occupational disease, a pension recalculated according to the new disability group keeping the same reason.

Payment of pensions to military pensioners

As with pensions, there are several ways to receive funds. Payments can be received as the pensioner himself, so confidant in the following types of organizations (the pensioner has the right to determine for himself where it is more convenient for him to receive his pension):

  1. Russian Post - in this case, the pension comes to your home or to the nearest post office. The only thing to consider when choosing this option is delivery period, which may differ from the date of payment of the pension.
  2. A bank account is the most common way to receive pensions. It doesn't matter whether it happens bank card or Sberbank book- on the day of transfer of funds from the territorial body of the Pension Fund, the money will be transferred to the pensioner’s account.
  3. A third-party organization engaged in the delivery of pensions - everything is similar to Russian Post. A complete list of such companies can be obtained from employees of Pension Fund branches.

Please note that according to Art. 56 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 N 4468-1, third paragraph (payment through a third-party organization) not listed as possible for military pensions. You will have to choose between Russian Post and Sberbank.

Deadlines for payment of disability pension

It is worth noting that the military disability pension has certain features regarding payments.

  • Military disability pension is assigned for the period of validity of the disability certificate, and for disabled people over 55 and 60 years old (women and men, respectively) - indefinitely; re-examination can only be scheduled at the request of a pensioner (for example, if there are conditions for changing the disability group).
  • If a pensioner who has not reached the age specified in this article is recognized as able-bodied, a pension is paid to him until the end of the month in which he is recognized as able to work, but not longer than the day before which the disability was established.

Suspension and resumption of payment

In general, the rules of a military disability pension are similar to other cases - if a citizen has temporarily lost the right to receive payments, they are suspended until he regains these rights.

In Art. 27 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 N 4468-1 considers the case when a disabled person deadline for re-examination missed. According to this document, if a disabled person misses the deadline for re-examination at the Federal Bureau of Medical and Social Expertise, then the payment of the established pension is suspended from the moment of loss of disabled status, if a citizen is recognized as disabled again, the pension is renewed from the day the disability is restored.

If the deadline for re-examination was missed for a valid reason and the disability is established by the federal ITU authorities for the past, then the payment of the pension is resumed from the day the citizen was again recognized as disabled.

In the case where a disabled person receives new group disability, payments for the past are assigned according to previous disability group.

Right to receive a second pension

There are cases when, after leaving military service, citizens go to work outside the armed forces, for example, as security guards for private security companies or teachers at colleges. At the same time, they continue to receive a military or disability pension.

If their employers pay insurance contributions to the Russian Pension Fund, and this is possible if the employee is registered in compulsory pension insurance system(in other words, he must have SNILS - an insurance certificate, popularly called a “green card”), then if the following criteria are met, such citizens can receive in addition to the military:

  • reaching the generally established retirement age- 55 years for women, 60 for men. If a citizen works in the Far North, life-threatening conditions, etc. - this age can be reduced in accordance with the Federal Law of December 28, 2013. N 400-ФЗ;
  • availability of the required number of pension points;
  • availability of a pension for long service or in connection with disability through the Ministry of Defense;
  • availability of insurance (civil) experience at least 10 years in 2019 (and further increasing by 1 year annually until 15 years in 2024).

It is worth noting that periods of military service taken into account when assigning a pension through the Ministry of Defense cannot be used to calculate the insurance pension. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that military pensioners receive insurance pension no fixed payment.

As with “civilians,” in the case when a military pensioner receiving a second (insurance) pension continues to work, this pension recalculated on August 1st annually automatically (no applications for pension recalculation are required to be submitted to the Pension Fund).

Conclusion

It is very important to feel solid ground under your feet - no matter what a person does. And for those who defend the Motherland, who fulfill their duty to it, such confidence is completely necessary.

Despite all the complexity, despite all the nuances that exist in modern legislation relating to the military, this topic can (and most importantly, must) be understood. The state supports military personnel, and indexes pension payments every year and on April 1, 2016, the next indexation took place. Of course, 4% is not what everyone expected, but it’s better than nothing at all, especially considering the current economic realities.
