Russia has ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In this regard, on January 1, 2018, a federal law came into force establishing the accessibility of various facilities and services for people with disabilities. At the request of our readers, we publish what changes will occur in the lives of people with disabilities.

From January 1, 2018, people with disabilities have the right to be accompanied

To begin with, we note that Federal Law No. 419-FZ “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation in connection with the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities” was adopted on December 1, 2014, but came into force on January 1, 2018. And even then not in full. Some of its articles will come into effect on July 1, 2017, and some on January 1, 2018. It makes changes to almost all legal acts from the point of view of ensuring the opportunity for people with disabilities to use services in all spheres of life. First of all, changes have been made to Federal Law No. 181-FZ “On the social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation”.

Article No. 15 of this law specifically talks about unimpeded access for people with disabilities to social, engineering and transport infrastructure.

Pharmacies, laundries, hairdressers and any other organizations must provide disabled people with the opportunity to use their services.

But here we must take into account that it is often simply impossible to equip a building with ramps or special lifts for the disabled. The legislator has provided that in this case, organizations must agree with disabled people's societies on other ways of providing services to disabled people. This could be home delivery of goods, cooperation with social workers who will purchase goods for a disabled person, transportation of a person to a building, provision of services by mail or the Internet, etc. This work, by the way, has already been partially organized in the region. Disabled people can always contact the social taxi service.

Are these services free?

It does not follow from the law that all disabled people should be provided with free transportation to the place they need. The document only provides for the possibility of using transport services.

Who will accompany people with disabilities?

Both social workers and service workers. The law does not stipulate that each disabled person will be “assigned” an accompanying person. This is a service that will be provided within the framework of social security for disabled people.

Let’s say a disabled person wants to buy medicine at a pharmacy near their home, but there is no ramp there. What should he do? According to the law, from January 1 he must be provided with a service

If a disabled person is served by a social worker, then the social worker will take care of the purchase and delivery of medications. If a disabled person is not served at home by a social worker, he can seek help from social security or demand that pharmacy workers provide him with the necessary assistance.

What actions can people with disabilities expect from social security in such a situation?

A social worker must be assigned. If we consider this situation with a pharmacy, the social worker will purchase the necessary medications and take them home. But in the future, the mechanism that is provided must work, that is, each pharmacy must provide disabled people with the opportunity to receive services from them.

In the future, administrative liability will be introduced for organizations that do not comply with the law. That is, if a disabled person informs us that he was not provided with a certain service due to lack of access to the organization, the institution may be fined.

The law states that only newly commissioned buildings will be equipped with ramps. But at the same time, owners of existing facilities are still required to take measures to ensure access. Let us explain this provision of the law.

Indeed, from this year, any newly introduced facilities must meet accessibility requirements for people with limited mobility.

Should there be ramps installed everywhere?

Ramps, elevators, widened openings, etc. As for already introduced facilities, if they cannot be converted, it must be agreed with the disabled people's societies that it is possible to achieve only partial or conditional accessibility.

Who is responsible for the fact that ramps are not installed in high-rise buildings?

The management company that maintains this house. The problem of installing ramps in apartment buildings is very serious for the following reason: the ramp is part of capital construction. In most buildings, the bulk of the apartments are privatized, so obtaining permission to install a ramp or lifts requires the consent of the residents. Many do not give it: someone does not agree with the installation of ramps, believing that they will interfere with the exit from the entrance.

Changes in the procedure for providing housing benefits to disabled people

We have brought regional legislation into line with federal legislation. Taking into account the fact that all benefits for people with disabilities to pay for housing and housing and communal services are paid from federal funds, they are directly regulated by Federal Law 181 on the social protection of people with disabilities.

181 of the law clearly states that a 50% discount on housing costs is available to disabled people living in state and municipal housing stock.

That is, those who live in a privatized, purchased or donated apartment do not have this benefit. And the second point - according to regional legislation, the benefit extended to all family members of a disabled person, but according to federal legislation, the payment is made specifically to the disabled person - without taking into account the family members who live with him.

Some residents are outraged by this. I would like them to understand that these benefits are paid from federal funds. There is no talk of saving!

Benefits for major repairs

By the way, many disabled people are also labor veterans. They have the right to choose in which category to provide this benefit: to receive it as a disabled person or as a labor veteran. In the latter case, they will receive benefits under the same conditions.

The new law also provides a 50% discount on major repairs for people over 75 years old.

This norm was provided for by Federal Law No. 399-FZ of December 29, 2015:

50% discount on major repairs for disabled people of groups 1-2 and families with a disabled child. This payment is valid from January 1.

The law speaks of the right of the region to establish a benefit for people over 75 years old - a 50% discount on the cost of major repairs, and for those over 80 years old - a 100% discount. It is the right of each region of our country to establish a benefit or not.

A disabled person is a citizen who, for certain reasons, is completely or partially unable to work. There are often cases when people with disabilities are not hired or are discriminated against. To protect such citizens, the state adopted Federal Law 181 “On Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities.” After reading the current article, you will learn the provisions of the presented legal act.

The rights of people with disabilities are also outlined in the law on social services for elderly citizens and people with disabilities. You can find out its main provisions

Federal Law 181 “On Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities” was adopted in 1995. Since its adoption, numerous changes have been made, and some articles have been deleted.

The fundamental provisions of Federal Law-181 are currently:

  • A legal concept is provided for the word “disabled”;
  • The degrees of disability are indicated and listed - groups I, II and III. Children are not assigned a group;
  • The concept of social protection of disabled people is defined. The regulatory institution is obliged to improve the act, and the executive institution is obliged to implement its decisions;
  • A definition of medical and social testing is introduced, which determines the degree of disability. It also establishes the fact that the citizen needs social assistance;
  • Federal Law 181 states that discrimination on the basis of disability is unacceptable;
  • The law establishes the need to register a government register of persons with disabilities;
  • Measures to support people with disabilities are indicated. These include: cash payments; provision of necessary goods and certain services (medicines, food, recreation in a sanatorium). They also have the opportunity to receive free housing;
  • The labor rights of disabled people are defined. A citizen of this social group must work no more than 35 hours a week. At the same time, he is paid full salary;
  • Federal Law-181 introduces definitions of habilitation and rehabilitation of a citizen of a given social group;
  • Other regulations.

On a note! In the Russian Federation there is an important law with the same number dedicated to the issue of labor protection. More about the Federal Law on the basics of labor protection in the Russian Federation

Rights of people with disabilities

People with disabilities are the most vulnerable group of the population. For this reason, the state provides protection to the represented category.

As an example, let’s present a list of rights of disabled people of group 3 according to the law:

  • Receive a disability pension. Today, its size is within 7 thousand rubles, while the minimum amount is from 3,625 thousand rubles, and it is calculated taking into account the length of service;
  • Additional payment to pension taking into account family composition - 1919 rubles;
  • Reduced payment for housing and communal services - up to 50 percent;
  • Queuing for improvement of housing conditions;
  • Purchase of land for construction on preferential terms with a 50% discount;
  • Travel with a 50% discount on 1 trip on railway transport;
  • According to Federal Law-181, it is possible to purchase drugs and medicines at a discount;
  • Purchasing vouchers to sanatoriums with a 50% discount.

Thus, group 3 disability provides discounts on a number of housing and communal services, treatment, medicines, and travel.
