Where to go

The procedure for a participant in hostilities is a fairly simple procedure, but it has some nuances.

At the moment, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is engaged in the payment of this type of benefits. To register the receipt of this type of payment, you must contact the appropriate branch of the Pension Fund in advance.

A participant in hostilities will need to apply for a pension at the place of permanent registration - to the regional branch of the PFR.

Moreover, if for some reason there is no registration, it will be necessary to contact the place of permanent residence. For example, if you need to receive funds for a personnel officer who continues to serve under a contract.

It will be possible to submit all the necessary documents to the appropriate branch of the Pension Fund in different ways:

  • in person or through a representative;
  • through the Internet;
  • By mail of the Russian Federation - by registered mail with a list of attachments.

To receive a pension, certain essential factors must be fulfilled. It is worth familiarizing yourself with all of them in advance.

When registering a pension through a representative, it will be necessary to draw up an appropriate power of attorney. This document must be duly certified.

How to arrange

Today, the process of registering a pension for war veterans is covered in legislation. Moreover, the acquisition algorithm itself is completely standard. The only difference is the process of obtaining some special types of pensions.

At the same time, the registration of pensions for participants in the Great Patriotic War is no longer covered in the current legislation. The reason for this is the lack of the need for registration - at the moment there are only a minimum number of WWII veterans.

In the standard case, to register the type of pension under consideration, you will need to implement the following basic steps:

  • register with the military enlistment office - this will allow you to obtain the following necessary documents:
    • certificate of participation in hostilities;
    • combat veteran certificate;
  • the process of registration of a personal account is in progress - the easiest way is to implement such an operation in Sberbank;
  • apply to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place:
    • permanent registration;
    • permanent residence;
  • confirmation of the corresponding awards, medals, as well as other documents is carried out - they must confirm a certain length of service, the very fact of participation in any hostilities;
  • after collecting all documents, it is necessary to transfer them to the FIU in a way convenient for the applicant himself;
  • in the FIU, documents are considered within 10 days from the date of submission and, if the decision is positive, the corresponding pension will be charged next month.

The very procedure for confirming the length of service can be performed in two ways. According to the current legislative norms, citizens who have medals and have gained 20-25 years of experience (depending on gender) have equal rights with citizens who participated in the Second World War and who began their labor activity before the war. Moreover, in the second case, the experience before the onset of majority is necessarily taken into account.

To receive an appropriate pension, it will be necessary to submit the following documents to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation:

  • passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
  • photos of 3 × 4 format;
  • award documents - they give the right to a special procedure for considering the fact of the appointment of a pension (in some cases, the period is reduced to the very minimum);
  • documentary evidence of the fact of official work experience:
    • certificate from the place of employment;
  • confirmation of participation in hostilities or other documents giving the right to receive a pension of the type in question:
    • home front worker's certificate;
    • wWII veteran certificate;
    • certificate of a resident of besieged Leningrad;
    • certificate of a participant in hostilities;
    • documents confirming the presence of a disability group.

Today, a complete list of all the documents required in this case is reflected in the legislation in force on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Employees of the RF Pension Fund may require any additional. In some cases, pensions of this type are provided directly by the Ministry of Defense.

Therefore, it is possible to receive this payment not through the FIU, but directly through the military commissariat, to which a particular citizen of the Russian Federation is assigned.

The size

A preferential pension for war veterans depends on a variety of factors. For example, the average pension of participants in the Great Patriotic War for 2019 is 21.8-30.3 thousand rubles.

This value was achieved due to the annual indexation. So, since 01.02.15, the value of indexation is 11.4%.

Currently, not only the servicemen themselves, but also their relatives have the right to receive this type of pension. But this also requires the fulfillment of certain important conditions.

The widows of those who died in the Second World War are currently being charged in the amount of 21.8 thousand rubles per month. At the same time, combatants who have become disabled due to injury on the battlefield receive 30.3 thousand rubles.

The last time the indexation of the size of this type of pension was carried out on 01.04.15 - by 5.5% of the original amount. The average increase in the country, in various regions, ranged from 1.3 thousand rubles to 4.4 thousand rubles.

Moreover, in many cases, veterans receive appropriate services at home. For example, in 2019 alone, about 27 thousand WWII veterans applied for services of this type.

Today, all citizens who participate in hostilities in some way are divided into different categories.

The amount of payment of this type of pension is influenced by a large number of different factors:

  • length of work experience;
  • territory of war;
  • the presence of injuries, disability;
  • other.

A complete list of facts that in any way affect the size of the type of pension in question is reflected in the legislation in force in the territory of the Russian Federation.

A close study of the legislation in force in this regard will help to avoid various kinds of difficulties and other points. The legislation on the special status of veterans was introduced in order to support, materially and morally, citizens who gave their debt to their homeland.

There is a specialized law that establishes the following social benefits for veterans:

  • a significant increase in the provision of a pension type in comparison with other citizens of the Russian Federation;
  • in some cases, combatants are entitled to increased;
  • during the indexation of pensions, their adjustment, it is the combatants who are the priority persons - the increase in pensions for them is mandatory.

To receive some special benefits, combat veterans will need to contact the appropriate agencies in advance.

It is important to remember that the size of the pension is significantly influenced by the region of residence of a particular veteran. Moreover, if a move is made to another constituent entity of the Russian Federation, the amount of the pension will be changed without fail.

When re-registering at a new place of residence, it will be necessary to re-register the pension at the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the military registration and enlistment office. Reregistered. This important factor should be taken into account.

Is there a surcharge

Today, all contract servicemen, upon reaching a certain age, are necessarily entitled to a pension.

Moreover, the larger the salary and length of service, the greater the pension. The situation is similar with regard to retirement due to participation in hostilities. At the same time, in some cases, a surcharge is mandatory to the total payment.

Its size depends on the regulations governing a specific case. They differ significantly for each region.

At the moment, a veteran of hostilities should carefully read the following sections of regulatory documents in order to receive a bonus:

  • Federal Law 03.12.07 “On Amendments to the Law“ On Pension Provision ””;
  • and Part 1 of Federal Law No. 319-FZ.

According to the NAP data, an additional 32% is added to the basic pension of veterans as a supplement.

At the same time, the right to this kind of allowance arises from 01.01.08 - almost immediately after the start of the above law. This increase is due in accordance with federal law.

But in some regions there are special multiplying factors. Therefore, the size may differ upward from the figure of 32%. Moreover, the size of the allowance charged in a particular region cannot be less than that established by federal legislation.

To register such a surcharge, it will be necessary to collect a certain list of documents. Some former servicemen, due to ignorance or for other reasons, did not submit the relevant documents for receiving benefits on time.

In this case, the right to such payments is not forfeited. Moreover, it will be possible to receive them for the entire period of time in full - from the moment the relevant law enters into force.

To receive payments for the past time, you will need to contact the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of permanent registration with a corresponding statement and a link to the legislative norm.

All necessary funds will be transferred at the time of accrual of the regular veteran's pension. If, for some reason, the Pension Fund refused to pay this kind of charges to the veteran who applied, you will need to go to court.

How to arrange it

The process of registering a supplement practically does not differ from the procedure for registering the pension itself. To obtain such a benefit, everyone will also need to apply directly to the FIU at the place of permanent residence. This moment is reflected in the legislation.

In this case, it is imperative to collect the following documents:

  • passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
  • work book or other document confirming the length of service;
  • military ID with the corresponding marks on the passage of military service;
  • other documents confirming the fact of participation in hostilities.

Documents can also be submitted in any way convenient for the veteran himself - independently, by mail or via the Internet, by a representative.

You will need to attach a special statement to the list of required documents. It will need to refer to the relevant legislative provision.

There is no unified format for such a statement; it is drawn up in free form. But at the same time it is necessary to include in it the details of the applicant himself, affix the date and signature with a decryption.

Pension for combatants in Afghanistan

Today, according to the current legislation, citizens who take part in the military operation in Afghanistan are entitled to a fairly large number of various benefits, as well as a pension.

The most significant cash payments today include:

  • EDV - monthly cash payment, the amount of which is 2.2 thousand rubles;
  • 50% discount on repairs and maintenance of a single home;
  • increase to pension in the amount of 32%.

The increase to the pension is drawn up in accordance with Federal Law No. 4468-1 of 12.02.93. The amount of the additional payment at the moment is only 1.1 thousand rubles.

At the same time, the retirement of war veterans is carried out upon reaching a length of service or a certain age. But, at the same time, the corresponding payments as a participant b / d. rely immediately after their completion.

For veterans b / d in Chechnya

According to the current legislation (Federal Law No. 5-FZ of 12.01.95), combatants in the territory of the Chechen Republic have the right to receive a pension. Its size in 1995 was 1.6 thousand rubles. For more than 20 years, such payments have been indexed. The pension is over 10 thousand rubles.

Moreover, at the moment, the amount continues to be indexed annually. A large number of different factors influence the size of the pension for Chechen veterans. This includes the regional coefficient - the place of residence of the veteran himself.

Are the parents of the deceased

According to the above-mentioned normative legal document, the parents and some other relatives of the deceased in the Republic of Chechnya also have the right to receive the corresponding pension payments.

Other relatives may be a spouse, as well as native, adopted children (until they reach working age).

If, due to participation in hostilities, a serviceman has been assigned a disability group, then he is entitled to an increased pension. It depends directly on the disability group.

Also, the pension is subject to an additional payment in accordance with the amendment to the legislation introduced in 2019. The amount of this additional payment is 2.4 thousand rubles. This moment is regulated by the law "On Veterans".

Reading time ≈ 5 minutes

The categories of citizens who can qualify for increased social benefits include, first of all, war veterans. This is provided for by law No. 5-FZ "On Veterans". The amount of such assistance from the state can differ significantly from the standard pension accruals.

War veterans - who belongs to them

To understand what kind of pension will be accrued to veterans of hostilities in 2018, it is necessary to clarify the information about who can qualify for a social benefit of this category.

The increased amount of pension accruals is due to the following persons:

  1. Employees of the armed forces of the Russian Federation belonging to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Office of the Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments and other bodies of the Russian Federation, in these institutions are responsible for the state of security of the state. These individuals had to stay for a certain period of time in hot spots on the territory of the Russian Federation or on the territory of other countries.
  2. VTB includes employees of government agencies of the Soviet Union. For example, those citizens who served in the Soviet Army or in the Ministry of Internal Affairs can apply for an increased pension. Individuals were required to undergo a post-war clearance program, which lasted from 1945 to 1951. This category also includes sailors engaged in combat etching between 1945 and 1957.
  3. Drivers of vehicles who were involved in the transportation of goods in Afghanistan can apply for an increased pension.
  4. Other types of military involved in hostilities in Afghanistan, including during combat missions.
  5. Individuals who have taken part in hostilities in Syria since 2015.

Thus, the pension for veterans of military operations in 2018 will be awarded to these categories of citizens. The amount of charges is determined by several laws based on acts regulating military pensions and insurance charges.

They are equated to veterans of the Great Patriotic War, so they can count on a higher social payment from the Russian Federation. These include citizens who worked in hot spots as road transport drivers, pilots and pilots, and members of the crew of military air transport. The same category includes employees on the territory of Afghanistan sent on a business trip to a hot spot on duty.

Not all veterans will receive the increased amount

The main types of military pensions

Pension for veterans is calculated in three directions. The basis of social payments is the insurance part. Additionally, a social pension is charged from the state.

The insurance part of the pension, which is guaranteed by the laws of the Russian Federation, depends entirely on the work activity of the citizen. Individuals can apply for additional payments that are charged by local governments. These bodies include regional and federal institutions.

In the event of a disability, a military veteran can apply for a social pension. State pension charges are directly dependent on the number of years of service in hot spots.

Rules for the formation of social payments

In order to form a pension payment for a war veteran, it is necessary to obtain information about the length of service and his age category. The minimum length of service for receiving a pension is 20 years. To receive social subsidies from the state for a combat veteran, his age must reach 45 years. Additionally, you will need a total work experience of 25 years. The minimum duration of military service is 12 years and 5 months.

Citizens of the Russian Federation, including veterans of military operations, can get it upon reaching 60 or 55 years of age. Women retire five years earlier than the male population of Russia. For insurance experience, you need to have an indicator that is equal to 8 years. The individual coefficient as of today is 13.8 points.


Who is entitled to monthly payments

How much WBD get

The 2018 war veterans pension can be influenced by a variety of factors. The first and most important thing on which the amount of the accrual of VDB depends is the place in which he served.

Please note that since the pension benefit consists of several parts, it will be individual in nature. Here it is necessary to take into account the fact of the size of the calculation of the labor pension, social benefits and additional assistance from the state.

If the total length of service of a combat veteran is more than a 20-year term, then you are entitled to another 50% of the salary. For a period exceeding 20 years, an accrual of 3% of the base amount is due for each subsequent year. Additional payments can be up to 85%.


Payments to WBD

Mixed means that a citizen has 25 years of experience, which includes different types of activities. In this situation, a veteran of military operations is entitled to a 50% bonus, for each following year of presence in a hot spot, he should be given another 1% bonus. The funds are received through the pension fund of the Russian Federation. The amount of the monthly cash payment will be based on what category the combat veterans belong to.

The 2018 military veterans pension, like any other social payment, must be indexed. The size of the index has not been published yet. According to preliminary data, war veterans should expect an increase in their social benefits by 3-4 percent.

The minimum pension for that can be accrued to a citizen is about 10 thousand rubles. The allowances at various levels will be about 15 thousand rubles. For the disability group, they give from 2 to 3 thousand rubles additionally.

In Russian legislation there is a separate category of citizens who are entitled to a hanged pension - these are veterans. In order to take care of them, the Russian Federation adopted a law (in 1995) No. 5-FZ "On Veterans". Pensions for combatants are established in a different amount and procedure than for ordinary, ordinary citizens.

Who are the veterans of the fighting

In Article 3 of the Law "On Veterans" you can get the following information about who belongs to the WBD:

  1. Employees of the Armed Forces (Armed Forces) of Russia, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Directorates of the Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments and other state bodies responsible for the security of the Russian Federation, who were at one time or another in the area of \u200b\u200bhostilities that took place in Russia or in other foreign states.

Employees of certain state bodies of the USSR, for example, the Soviet Army, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of State Security, who were direct participants in the post-war mine clearance program, which took place from 1945 to 1951.

  • Law No. 4468-1 of February 12, 1993, which deals with military pensions;
  • Federal Law No. 400-FZ dated December 28, 2013, regulating insurance pensions.

These include:

  • , which allows WBD to receive their statutory retirement pension. At the same time, citizens have the right to all existing allowances - regional, established at the federal level;
  • ... This kind occurs when establishing IAP disability;
  • pension from the state. It is its size that has a variation in percentage, which depends on the places of military service during hostilities.
It is important! The pension will differ from payments to veterans of the Great Patriotic War and others. They all have an individual character.

Formation of payments

The size of the pension of combatants and the right to its appointment, as indicated earlier, depends on a number of factors.

These may include the following indicators and conditions:

  1. length of service, which must be more than 20 years;
  2. the age of a citizen is equal to 45 years, as well as the existence of a mixed experience of 25 years. At the same time, a very important point is that 12 years and 6 months is the minimum period for military service.

If we are talking about the insurance part of the pension for veterans, then in this case, you should inform about such conditions:

  • the age for the male population of Russia is 60 years, and for women 5 years less - 55 years;
  • the minimum indicator is 8 years for insurance experience. This applies to 2017;
  • individual odds - 11.4 points for 2017.

The amount of pension provision

If, according to preliminary data, a citizen has the right to receive a pension for WBD, it is worth knowing what amount a veteran can expect. It is worth noting for a start that the provision (additional payment) of this category of persons is of an individual nature.

For example, there is such a thing as length of service. If a citizen has the right to a pension for this indicator, then its size may look like this:

  • with a 20-year term of service, a veteran may be entitled to 50% of the calculated salary. A plus to it is 3% for each year over and above those 20.
Attention! It is worth considering that 85% is the maximum in the total amount of additional payments.
  • mixed experience assumes the presence of 25 years of such. In this case, there is the same 50% and in addition only 1% for the next worked year, etc.
It is important! WBDs, who have been civilians in various military operations, receive their funds through the FIU.

You also need to know about the (EDV), the size of which depends on the veteran's category.

For example, in 2017, those with disabilities received a little more than 5,000 rubles a month as a monthly income. And VBD is only about 3,000 rubles.

Pension supplements in percentage terms


There is another type of supplement - 32% to the pension of combatants.

  • WBD, including veterans of the Great Patriotic War;
  • those who went to concentration camps and similar institutions of the Nazis;
  • siege of Leningrad;
  • disabled people who, while still in childhood, were injured during the Second World War.
Important! Since the process of indexing the pensions of the population of our country periodically takes place, then, accordingly, the increase in 32% increases.

Payments to participants in the Chechen campaigns and Afghanistan

A relatively new status is a military veteran who has been in the Chechen war, which has taken place in the history of our state since the 90s of the 20th century. The pension is due in the following cases:

  • if the citizens were soldiers, officers of the given military campaign;
  • if they have been seconded to this territory;
  • purposeful direction of certain employees to the Chechen “hot spot”;
  • all other persons who took a direct part in this war on the territory of Chechnya on legal grounds.
It is important! To count on a pension as a veteran of hostilities in Chechnya, you must have an appropriate document - a certificate.

The amount of the total accruals is made up of allowances, additional and social payments and amounts to a total of about 15,000 rubles. In this case, the presence of wounds received during hostilities is also important. Such allowances depend on the group of disabilities received and range from 1,700 rubles to 3,500 rubles.

  • road transport drivers;
  • pilots and pilots, crew members of military air transport;
  • posted employees to the territory of Afghanistan.
Attention! The pension for Afghans is calculated according to an algorithm developed for veterans of the Great Patriotic War. There is only one distinguishing feature with regards to seniority. So, one year of experience is equal to 3 years worked.

In addition, there are other factors that affect the size of a citizen's pension provision, in addition to length of service:

  • amount of military service time:
  • position as a participant in hostilities.
Important! If the accrued pension does not reach the level of the subsistence level in our country, then the state provides a number of allowances and benefits for Afghans.

As in the case of veterans of the Chechen war, disability matters. If such is formalized and received due to participation in hostilities, a citizen (veteran) can count on additional payments. WBD in Afghanistan with disabilities of the first group can receive a threefold increase in seniority pension. For the second group, a twofold increase is provided. And for the third group of disability - 1.5 times.

Providing land to war veterans. Is there a free allocation

Many are interested in how to get a land plot for a war veteran. We must say right away that at the moment, in connection with the adoption in 2004 of the so-called law on monetization, many benefits were abolished and in the new edition of the laws "On veterans" and "On the status of military personnel" no longer contain provisions regarding the free provision of land for individual construction, etc. There are only some exceptions concerning, for example, Heroes of the Soviet Union, full holders of the Order of Glory, etc. Participants in hostilities are not included in this category, however, if they entered the queue for receiving land before 2004 year, that is, before the adoption of the law on monetization, then the right to such a benefit is not lost by them.

Also, regional authorities are not prohibited from developing their own provisions on the allocation of land to participants in hostilities. If there are no such provisions in your region, then you can get land only in a general manner and only if it is used for its intended purpose, for example, for building a house, planting a garden, etc.

Tax incentives for war veterans

Tax benefits for veterans are provided in the form of:

  • tax relief for the payment of property tax in accordance with Art. 407 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation;

  • reduction of the tax base for land tax by a tax-free amount of 10,000 rubles, in accordance with paragraph 5 of Art. 391 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation;
  • transport tax benefits that may be established by regional legislation.

How to get the required benefits

Each type of social support is formalized in relation to a veteran by various government agencies. State structures establish the procedure for the provision of social services to veterans in accordance with the requirements of federal legislation.

How to apply for tax incentives

You can apply for tax benefits by applying to the tax office. Since such benefits are of a declarative nature, they begin to apply only after the receipt of an application and title documents from a veteran.

You can submit papers for benefits both in person and by mail or contacting a multifunctional center. You can also submit documentation in electronic form through a special service located on the official website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation.

How to apply for pension benefits

Pension benefits are issued by the bodies responsible for calculating pension payments, based on the application of the veteran.

If the application is filled in correctly, and the submitted documents fully confirm the validity of the application of benefits, then the authorized bodies make a decision on their application in relation to the applicant.

Holidays for war veterans

Benefits for veterans are provided in the form of annual vacations at a convenient time, as well as vacations for no more than 35 days without pay. Leave of 35 days is provided to persons who participated in hostilities, on the basis of clause 11. part 1 and paragraph 4 of part 2 of Art. 16 ФЗ dated 12.01.1995 No. 5-ФЗ.

Cash payments to combatants in Chechnya and other territories

Who is Eligible for Veteran Welfare Benefits

Monthly cash payment (MCA) is charged to the veterans listed in sub. 1-4 p. Art. 3 FZ of 12.01.1995 No. 5-FZ, as well as to family members of the fallen veterans of military operations. The transfer of such payments is carried out regardless of the grounds for their establishment. The exceptions are cases when the payment is transferred in connection with radiation exposure.

Amount of money transfers for war veterans

Monthly cash payment for a person recognized as a veteran, according to sub. 3 p. 4 art. 23.1 ФЗ dated 12.01.1995 No. 5-ФЗ, has a size equal to 1,699 rubles. This amount increases annually after the indexation procedure. In 2019, it is 2,973 rubles.

How to issue an EDV

The establishment and payment of monthly cash transfers are the responsibility of the regional offices of pension authorities.

Order of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation of October 30, 2012 No. 353n contains the basic rules for the provision of services related to the establishment and transfer of monthly cash payments to veterans. This normative act indicates that an application for the payment of monthly incomes can be submitted both on paper and in the form of an electronic document.

Pension authorities accept applications from eligible veterans and their representatives. When submitting an application, a citizen must have with him a complete set of documents confirming his right to social assistance. In addition, along with the application for the appointment of payments, the citizen has the right to apply for the delivery of cash payments.

It is necessary to submit documents to the pension authority at the place of residence. Persons who do not have registration documents can apply to the FIU at the place of stay.

The decision on the appointment of payments or on the refusal of the appointment of a monthly income is made by authorized officials within 10 days from the date of receipt of the application.

Thus, in relation to war veterans, Russian legislation establishes a fairly wide list of social benefits. In addition to benefits, veterans can receive additional payments, transferred monthly.
