Federal Law on Social Security of Persons with Disabilities. General provisions for social protection of disabled people

The participation of people with disabilities in civil society is complicated by physical disabilities. Social protection from the state is designed to overcome these barriers.

On its basis, a special system of rights and responsibilities of a disabled person is built. In this article we will look at the current guarantees and measures social support disabled people, we will show whether conditions of equality with other citizens have been created.

What you need to know about the status

A disabled person is a person who has a health impairment with a persistent disorder of body functions caused by diseases, consequences of injuries or defects.

As a result, the person partially or completely loses the ability or opportunity to live fully. This manifests itself in the difficulty:

  • assessing the current situation, your location in space and time;
  • moving without assistance;
  • satisfying your physiological needs, observing hygiene rules;
  • perceiving information from other people, comprehending it, conveying one’s thoughts;
  • control of one’s own actions within the framework of norms accepted by society;
  • memorizing and assimilating knowledge, applying it in practice;
  • performing work duties.

To be confident in the correctness of the ITU conclusion, .

Limitation of life activity leads to the need for social protection and support from the state. Creating conditions for equal opportunities is the main task of such protection. The framework of rights granted to disabled people is based on international standards and formalized in the system of legal acts of Russia. The basic documents are the Constitution of the Russian Federation and Federal Law N 181-FZ “On the social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation” dated November 24, 1995, as amended on December 5, 2017.

Benefits and guarantees are provided to persons with disabilities only after acquiring the status of a disabled person. Medical institution social expertise based comprehensive assessment state of health makes a decision on recognition of disability, determines protective measures, and forms an individual rehabilitation or habilitation program.

Last names, first names, addresses, dates of birth, education, places of work, disability groups, benefits received, vouchers and other information about such persons are combined into a single electronic system, called the “Federal Register of Disabled Persons” (FRI).

After passing the ITU a rehabilitation plan is developed for each disabled person

If at the time of receiving the status a person had at least some work experience, then he is entitled to. If there is no experience, then you should count on.

Rehabilitation and habilitation, guaranteed rights

Rehabilitation is a system and process of complete or partial recovery abilities of disabled people for everyday, social, professional and other activities. Habilitation is a system and process of developing the abilities that disabled people lack for everyday, social, professional and other activities.

These protective measures are designed to compensate for (and, if possible, eliminate) the limitations in the life activities of such a person. A disabled person has the right to receive help in the medical, professional, pedagogical, domestic and sports spheres, i.e. where it is difficult to adapt on your own.

For each disabled person, a personal rehabilitation or habilitation program is drawn up. The measures included in it are mandatory for execution by persons of any organizational and legal form. If it is impossible to provide a service or technical means of rehabilitation from the program, the disabled person is paid monetary compensation.

Participation in a rehabilitation program is not an obligation, but a right of a disabled person. He can refuse completely or partially, and independently provide himself with technical means of rehabilitation (prostheses, hearing aids, etc.).

If a person refuses the program, a disabled person does not have the right to demand its implementation from government agencies and compensation for unprovided free services.

Habilitation consists of a complex of social and medical assistance

People with disabilities need full support from the state. The government takes care of such members of society, providing them with assistance in the form of guardianship, insurance, benefits, benefits, and subsidies.

The 2019 Laws for the Protection of Persons with Disabilities and presidential decrees contain a lot of inspiring information for this socially vulnerable section of society. Since the new year, a list of laws has come into force that stipulate the type of conditions for the provision of such services, facilitating access to various facilities, and improving services for persons with this status.

Law on benefits and pensions for disabled people in 2019

The Federal Law on Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities No. 181-FZ underwent significant transformations in 2019. Various paragraphs of this law describe benefits for people with disabilities in 2019, display the package of services available to people with disabilities, indicate the guarantees they are entitled to, etc. The laws on pensions for people with disabilities in 2019 prescribe an increase in the volume of benefits (in accordance with approved standards).

The government began implementing the 2019 Federal Law on Persons with Disabilities, which regulates the social protection strategy based on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, into reality last year, and continued its adaptation this year.

Federal Register of Persons with Disabilities in accordance with the 2019 law

The Federal Register of Disabled Persons, in accordance with the 2019 law, was created to improve the quality of their life and the effectiveness of social services for citizens with this status. The IDF database will contain, for example, the following data:

  • about the appointment of the group;
  • about a personal rehabilitation scheme;
  • about the extent of the disorder of body functions;
  • about the level of disability of a person;
  • on social protection measures.

This information will come from the ITU Central Bureau, the Social Insurance Fund and similar government agencies. FRI should become a universal information source for all organizations involved in rehabilitation. The register will also contain information (as the law states) about disabled children who received their status in 2019 and in previous years.

Underway active work concerning the connection to the system of all authorized donors of information, official users of IDF data. During the current year, significant optimization of the regulatory framework is planned, which will make it possible to provide appropriate service based on facts obtained from the IDF. People with a group will not have to show duplicate documents that confirm their status when applying for benefits or requesting other services. All materials from the register are confidential, they have legal value and are protected by the state in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation on information technology.

Equipping entrances with ramps in 2019 in accordance with the Law on Persons with Disabilities

Persons with “limited” capabilities (for example, wheelchair users) face problems of moving around the city every day. Pharmacies, clinics, shops and other structures are obliged, according to the new 2019 Law on ramps for the disabled, to provide citizens with cramped physical capabilities proper conditions for entry into their premises.

It happens that it is not possible to equip the entrance with a ramp or equip the building with a special elevator. The government took this point into account by putting forward a requirement for such institutions and services to provide “replacement” services, for example:

  • organize delivery of necessary products to your home;
  • collaborate with social workers who will help a wheelchair user or to a blind person get into the building;
  • provide people with the opportunity to order goods online and receive them through a courier;
  • provide certain categories of services at home.

Wide doorways and lifts must be planned in the designs of all new buildings and included as part of capital construction. If their absence is recorded, then such a project cannot be approved. This is required by the Law “On the Protection of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities” No. 181-FZ (as amended in 2019), Art. 15:

“...development of design solutions for new construction and reconstruction of buildings, structures and their complexes... without adapting these objects for unhindered access to them by disabled people and their use by disabled people is not allowed.”

The responsibility to equip the entrances of high-rise residential buildings with ramps rests with the management companies servicing these buildings. If the facility has already been put into operation or it cannot be converted, then options for providing an alternative service must be agreed upon with the social service, otherwise the owner of the building will be held administratively liable.

Disabled parking spaces in accordance with the 2019 law

The 2019 law also mentions the mandatory allocation of parking spaces for disabled people. If healthy man uses such a place, he will have to pay a fine, since this act is regarded as a violation of the law. Disabled people are allowed to park their cars in designated areas or in public parking.

The Federal Law on the Protection of Persons with Disabilities (as amended in 2019) requires the organization of special preferential parking at all socially significant structures - pharmacies, retail outlets, supermarkets, banks, hospitals, etc. In parking lots, it is imperative to allocate 10% of the parking area or more, marking it with signs:

  1. sign No. 6.4;
  2. table No. 8.17;
  3. special marking 1.24.3 (it is a rectangle 1.6 x 0.8 m with a corresponding pattern inside).

A person must always have a certificate proving their disability, because traffic police officers have the right to check its presence. Although the Federal Act of 2019 on the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities does not require that the car be equipped with a special sticker, it is still desirable that it be present on the front window of the car.

The law also takes into account the fact that many people with disabilities use not only cars adapted to their personal characteristics, but also ordinary taxis to get around. They can also be picked up by relatives, acquaintances or friends in their cars.
