Should a disabled person have group 2? Types and amounts of payments for disabled people of the second group

09.11.2019 -

Assigning the status of a disabled person presupposes further benefits and additional preferences for a citizen. The state assumes responsibility and care for such citizens, since they need special treatment and constant protection, both financially and socially and legally.

Registration of a disability certificate and provision of a special conclusion from a medical commission allows you to subsequently receive and enjoy benefits during the period in which this right is valid.

Once a year, a disabled person is required to re-pass the examination and confirm his status. If a person’s condition worsens or remains unchanged, he will be re-issued a conclusion, and he will again be able to receive benefits and benefits. If the patient refuses to undergo examination, he will automatically lose his disability group.

There are situations when a group is assigned indefinitely or for life. Let's consider everything important points obtaining such status and determining the procedure for registration and reasons for removing such a group.

The law defines several cases when undergoing an examination every year is not required. The patient should not return to the medical facility because he has permanent disability status. There are several situations specified when a patient can be assigned this status.

Let us consider the reasons for which it is given permanent disability 2 groups and who may become disabled 3 groups for life. The list of such citizens includes:

persons who have achieved retirement age(for the female half of the population - 55 years, and for the male half - 60 years);
disabled people who must undergo examination when they reach the specified number of years;
military personnel who received the status of disabled person during participation in hostilities, as well as during military service;
WWII disabled people.

Registration of permanent disability allows citizens to avoid tedious visits to various medical institutions for examinations and tests.

For what diseases is permanent disability assigned?

To provide the above exemption to citizens who, for health reasons, cannot engage in re-examination, the state has provided special list diseases. If a person has a disease, permanent disability is automatically assigned. The list of ailments includes:

Oncology, relapses that occur after radical treatment of the disease. Metastases and tumors that do not respond to treatment and lead to a deterioration in the citizen’s well-being.
Benign formations in the area of the brain centers that cannot be eliminated. Such patients may experience problems with motor and speech functions, as well as blurred vision.
Surgical intervention to remove the larynx.
Severe mental impairment, as well as senile dementia any type.
Diseases of the central nervous system that cannot be treated.
Hereditary disorders that cause loss of movement function and complete muscle atrophy.

Head injuries and spinal cord causing losses various functions body.
Defects associated with deformation of specific organs or parts of the body, as well as as a result of amputation of limbs.

How long does it take for permanent disability to be granted?

Lifelong disability is established when a person has a serious illness that cannot be cured. To assign a group, the patient first goes through various procedures on rehabilitation and recovery.

If these measures are not effective, then the citizen is assigned a lifelong group. In especially severe cases, the law defines a period of two years, we're talking about about 1 permanent disability group.

When treatment of the pathology has not yielded any results and the disease is irreversible, but has mild degree restrictions on a person’s life activity, then the group is also awarded for life, but 3 or 2. The term of appointment of the category is up to four years.

In the event of a relapse, six years may pass after treatment before a disability group is assigned, and if the patient has been in one group for five years and his condition does not improve or worsen, then the disability will also automatically be assigned for life.

Under what conditions can a group be cancelled?

Many patients with an urgent disability group are interested in can they remove it? given status. In this case, there can be only two reasons for withdrawal. In the first case, we are talking about falsification of papers, analyzes and research results, and the presence of an uncertified correction in the diagnosis. The second point is the discovery of serious violations in the work of the commission body, which made the decision to award a lifelong group.

Conclusion

Permanent or lifelong disability is provided for certain groups of citizens who are included in the list of persons entitled to such rights, as well as for persons suffering from incurable diseases and pathologies. The procedure for assigning such status is standard and involves a commission consideration of the issue.

The disability group determines the degree of legal capacity of a citizen. Each of the three categories corresponds to a specific list of diseases, design features, the corresponding amount of pensions and a list of benefits. Feature of group 2 is associated with partial or complete loss of ability to work, while the disabled person does not require constant help from other people.

Legislative framework for obtaining disability group 2

Standard terms for assigning permanent disability:

No more than two years from the date of diagnosis (giving the right to disability): the rule applies to adults and children. Moreover, for a disabled child, lifelong pension payments can be assigned even before the age of 18.
No more than four years from the date of diagnosis – applies to disabled children. It is necessary to determine that the treatment is not helping, there is no improvement.
No later than 6 years from the date of diagnosis and assignment of the second group: this rule applies to children who have been found malignant tumors or blood diseases considered incurable or difficult to treat (leukemia).

Cases when a group 2 disabled person receives the right to permanent disability:

For 15 years there was no improvement in the patient's health. Or vice versa, the group changed to a more difficult one (for example, from 2 to 3 or from 2 to 1);
If the beneficiary is a WWII veteran. Or disability was received before 1941;
The citizen is a participant in hostilities, and disability group 2 is a consequence of combat wounds;
If a disabled man has reached retirement age - 60 years, the same for women - from 55 years.

To apply for permanent disability you will need the following documents:

Application of a disabled person written by him or his representative;
Certificate about the details of the treatment (the period is determined by the commission doctor);
Test results;
Referral to ITU.

In some cases, ITU members may require additional documents.

What diseases can cause permanent disability:

Oncology, if treatment has not brought results and the patient’s condition is clearly deteriorating;
Benign tumors in the brain area, if they cannot be removed, and which lead to impairment of vision, hearing, and speech functions;
Operations to remove the larynx;
Severe mental impairment, senile dementia;

Deformations internal organs, limbs, including after amputation.

Refusal to recognize a person as disabled in group 2

ITU may refuse a citizen who believes that he is an incapacitated disabled person in the following cases:

If the disease (or set of diseases) is not serious enough and is not included in main list, approved by regulations;
If the disease is not expressed enough in percentage, that is, the disease is present, but the damage to the body is not too great;
Biased assessment made by members of the commission.

Important! If an applicant for disability status does not agree with the ITU verdict, he has the right to appeal it within up to 30 days. To do this, you should contact the main ITU Bureau.

The last option would be to file a lawsuit. However, some lawyers talk about the difficulties associated with collecting evidence and the need to turn to independent medical experts, since their conclusions are perceived by the court with less confidence than certificates from government bodies.

When can the group be removed?

The disability group is removed only in three cases.

If the fact of falsification of documents presented to the commission was discovered. This applies to test results, corrected diagnostic sheets and other medical reports;
If violations are identified in the work of the commission that awarded a permanent category of disability;
If the beneficiary's condition improves as a result of treatment or for other reasons.

Features of the work of the ITU (percentage system, commentary from lawyers and citizens):

Going to court to overturn the ITU decision

If a citizen is not ready to agree with the resolution of the local commission (ITU), he has the right to seek a review of his case at the main bureau of the ITU, and, if necessary, at the federal branch.

If as a result the decision was not revised, then you will have to file a lawsuit in court.

Before doing this, you should pass an independent test medical examination, it is also recommended to contact an experienced lawyer.

The basis for creating evidence base are:

Description of symptoms of illness/injury;
Confirmation of the degree of impairment of basic body functions due to illness or injury;
Evidence of the connection between the disease and the problems it caused;
Confirmation of the need for rehabilitation, its type and extent.

The most difficulties arise when you first contact government bodies to obtain disabled status. The complexity of the procedure lies in the need to visit a large number of authorities, go through several medical specialists, and collect many documents.

Further annual confirmations will not be so difficult, since existing experience will allow you to prepare the necessary papers in advance.

Content

In Russia and not only many chronic diseases patients are divided into disability groups, and which and when they are given - can be found out when passing the MSEC according to medical indications. The patient legally has the opportunity to receive payments for health problems and count on state assistance. Disability is determined by group; it can be working or non-working; it applies equally to adult patients and children.

What are disability groups

With limited mental and physical abilities, or the presence of psychological limitations, disability occurs. These categories of patients can count on monthly payments benefits, benefits, other social benefits. The amount of subsidies depends on the patient’s health status, group, class and stage of disability. There is a law to protect people with disabilities based on findings medical and social examinations. By order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated December 23, 2009 No. 1013n, a patient can be given one of three possible disability groups.

What diseases give disability?

IN modern medicine highlight a row serious illnesses, in which the patient completely or partially loses his ability to work. With such limitations in life, you must immediately contact your doctor, and based on medical documents, conclusions to receive one of the disability groups. Medical examination subject to the following pathologies, when diagnosing which a person can count on the working or non-working group (depending on the severity pathological process). The diseases are as follows:

bronchial asthma;
diabetes mellitus;
previous myocardial infarction, stroke;
oncological diseases;
epilepsy;
intervertebral hernia;
auditory, visual disturbances;
multiple sclerosis;
arterial hypertension;
ischemic disease hearts;
hepatitis C;
cirrhosis;
arthrosis of the joints;
mental retardation;
limb amputation;
mental illness.

Classification

According to WHO requirements, a special schedule has been developed in which each disease is characterized by one or another group of disabilities. To register a disability of any category, you must pass the MSEC and collect a list necessary documents and as a result receive monthly due payments. The amount depends on the category of disability, determined after medical purposes and citizen examinations. Below are all existing species disability with doctor's recommendations and specific diagnoses.

1st disability group

This is a disability in which a person completely loses the usual functions of the body and needs constant help, supervision and care. The patient does not always orient himself in space, does not control time and behavior, and makes inappropriate actions. modern society actions. To recognize a citizen as incompetent, the first step is to determine the cause, carry out a number of diagnostic measures, and making a final diagnosis is important. Such diseases include:

tuberculosis stage of decompensation;
oncology;
complicated heart failure;
epilepsy;
aphasia of the brain;
schizophrenia;
dementia;
thigh stumps and upper limbs;
complete blindness.

2nd group

Continuing to study the degrees of disability, the emphasis should be on group 2. There is no need to talk about full professional working capacity, but a disabled person has to change workplace, go for easy work. The problem arises with dysfunctions that do not deprive a person of his ability to work and do not require special care. However, doctors recommend changing your type of activity - choosing a lighter option. In such categories of life activity, the patient is provided with special working conditions, and this requirement is reinforced in medical and social examination institutions.

Before receiving group 2 disability, it is necessary to study in more detail the diagnoses in which patients receive a pension, but at work follow a separate labor network:

fibrous-cavernous progressive tuberculosis;
second degree arterial hypertension;
cardiopulmonary failure;
atherosclerosis with severe intellectual depression;
serious injuries with mental impairment, motor functions;
disarticulation of the thigh;
injuries and organic lesions of the spinal cord;
femoral stump with gait disturbance;

3 group

The third group is accompanied by mental and physical limitations, but the patient retains his vitality and does not need outside help. Disability may be determined by the consequences of an injury or long course chronic illness with frequent relapses. The definition of the group is closely related to working conditions, since the patient does not need to change his specialty due to illness, but it would obviously be useful to change his workplace. For example, an accountant with atherosclerosis and cognitive disorders is not recommended to work in the accounting department.

Which disability group is the most severe?

Disability can be established for a period of one or two years. Under certain circumstances, you may receive permanent disability. After the specified time interval has expired, to establish the category, you must re-pass the medical commission. The category depends on the severity of the disease, and the largest in terms of health is the first group, which, among other things, is non-working. Since the patient cannot take care of himself, he can receive a social pension without the need for employment.

Which ones are considered workers

Doctors report that groups 2 and 3 are workers: with the third, it is not even necessary to change the workplace, with the second, the worker must be provided special conditions labor. Children with disabilities can also benefit society, it all depends on the signs of the disease and the diagnoses made. More often, the first and less often the second category of disabled people are considered non-working.

Disabled children

Dear readers!

We describe typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is unique and requires individual legal assistance.

Disability is a condition of a person in which, due to serious problems health conditions limit the ability to perform various types works Restrictions vary depending on different people, for this reason, this status is usually classified into categories. Issues of establishing a disability group (as before) are dealt with by MSEC (medical and social examination) employees.

The assignment of a disability group depends on the degree and scope of disability, which is provided for Federal Law No. 181, art. 1:

“Depending on the degree of impairment of body functions and limitations of life activity, persons recognized as disabled are assigned a disability group.”

Disability depending on the degree of disease

The corresponding document describes in detail the procedure for registering and re-registering groups, and clarifies the composition of the basic set of privileges for people with disabilities.

In order for MSEC to confirm disability, certain conditions must be present:

A persistent disorder of key life functions, provoked by an acquired pathology and its severe consequences, trauma, etc.
Narrowing of the ability for full self-service, communication with other people, orientation in environment, self-control.
Need for medical correction and rehabilitation, social support.

Only one of the mentioned points is not enough to form a group - at least two are required. All features of each specific case are carefully checked by competent members of the commission, acting in accordance with the requirements of the law.

There are working and non-working disability groups; this year the criteria for determining them were revised. Disabled people, according to the law, receive full rights to pension payments and a package of social benefits. What the amount of the pension will be depends on the disability group; in Russia it is expected to increase by the end of this year.

If the law requires two types of pension at once, then the applicant must choose only one of them. At the same time, the monthly financial payment does not stop; a kit is provided social services, which, if necessary, can be replaced with monetary compensation. Insurance assistance is paid when a person has insurance experience.

When considering questions about the advisability of assigning a disability group, the real cause of the resulting disability must be taken into account. It is allowed to indicate such factors:

general disease– sluggish pathology or domestic trauma;
injury received during the production process while a person was at the place of work, on the way to or from it;
occupational illnesses that arose as a result of exposure harmful factors production;
injuries acquired during combat operations, during military service, as well as during Patriotic War;
genetic developmental abnormalities, complications of childhood illnesses;
radiation exposure.

To prove the real reason disability, the applicant is required to provide relevant documentation. In the absence of such, a note “general disease” is made. Sometimes it happens that disability is caused by more than one factor. In this situation, the disabled person himself or his official representative chooses the reason, which will serve as the reason for starting the examination.

1st non-working disability group

Disability group 1 is still regarded as the most problematic for health reasons. It includes people whose bodies have been diagnosed with significant disorders that cause insoluble difficulties with movement, study, communication, etc. A person faces significant limitations in his life: he loses the ability to self-care, needs systematic supervision, and becomes completely dependent on the help of others.

These are patients with serious diseases such as:

oncological tumor with numerous metastases, frequent relapses;
hematological pathologies characterized by poor blood clotting, formation cancer cells etc.;
complete paralysis;
amputation of the upper or lower limbs;
blindness, deafness, muteness, etc.

People with such pathologies become completely unable to work, because they physical condition really does not allow them not only to work, but also to serve themselves. It is extremely rare that they can perform some types of work, but still require outside care. There are special enterprises where there are suitable conditions for the blind or deaf-mute. People with damaged legs are also sometimes involved in certain types of work.

2nd non-working disability group

Group 2 disability can be claimed by people with sufficiently significant health impairments, due to which these persons have become almost completely disabled.

Potential reasons for assigning a group:

disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas;
disorders of the central nervous system, PNS;
abnormalities in the functioning of the auditory or visual analyzers;
dysfunction of the liver, renal system, heart.

Patients do not require constant care, but they often require special adaptations to survive. For example, after amputation of one limb, a person is able to move only with the help of a prosthesis, crutches or a wheelchair. For patients undergoing resection bladder, you need special tanks to collect urinary fluid.

Although disability group 2 is recognized as non-working, it is allowed professional work, if it does not lead to aggravation of the disease.

The following benefits are provided for disabled people participating in the industrial process::

short working hours;
additional and extended breaks;
easing production standards;
medical supervision.

A disabled person can travel on public transport on a preferential basis and receives priority rights to housing, improvement of living conditions, and connection of a telephone line.

3rd working disability group

Group 3 disability will be available to persons with persistent, but not critical, health impairment. It is assigned to a person for a period of no more than 1 year with further revision. Diseases of the 3rd group include pathologies of the nervous, cardiovascular systems, and musculoskeletal system. It can be given, for example, to a person suffering from asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension and other ailments.

Disabled people perform simple household chores and take care of themselves without any problems; they have a “residual” ability to work, so this category is considered working group disability in Russia. It is necessary to clarify that such persons are guaranteed favorable working conditions. For example, if a person previously worked on the night shift, then he can be transferred (if he wishes) to a position in which he can perform duties in daytime days.

Disabled people are entitled to financial assistance on behalf of the state; they are provided with free medicines, crutches, wheelchair etc. If a person is unemployed, then he can pay for some pharmacological preparations and medical prescription products are only half their cost. You are allowed to use public transport without paying for the fare.

Based on the results of the review, MSEC extends or removes disability, and if the patient’s health status changes (deterioration or improvement), it can change the group. If the patient is on an old-age pension, permanent disability of group 3 may be indicated.

Thus, to obtain a disability group there must be objective reasons. The applicant is obliged to provide the special commission with a complete package of documents (their list is provided above). The latter are official confirmation of the fact of disability, the need for financial assistance, all kinds of protection from the state.
