Disabled people in Russia belong to one of the socially unprotected categories of citizens who need state support. Depending on the severity of the state of health, 3 groups of disability are distinguished. The category of the disability group affects the various measures of state support provided. These measures are regulated by the Federal Law "On Social Protection of Disabled Persons in the Russian Federation".

Definition of the Federal Law “On Social Protection and Support for the Disabled in the Russian Federation”

This law guarantees all citizens with disabilities equal rights with other citizens, as well as social support from the state. Based on this law, all state bodies are obliged to act and respect the legal rights of persons with disabilities.

The law on social protection implies providing disabled people with the necessary conditions for their life, as well as exercising their right to rehabilitation.

General provisions of the law of the Russian Federation

This law applies to people recognized as disabled. Disabled people in Russia, according to Article 1 of the Federal Law "On the Social Protection of the Disabled", are those people who have been recognized by a special social medical examination.

The main parameters for determining disability is the ability of a person to independently provide himself with the necessary actions to ensure life.

Depending on the degree of independence of a person, expert doctors establish.

Groups and types of disability

For children under the age of 18, the general category of a disabled child is established. The disability group is determined only after reaching the age of 18. This is due to the fact that in the process of child development it is quite difficult to determine the degree of independence based on the age of development of the baby.

The state assumes obligations to protect the rights of each group of disabled people. These obligations are prescribed in article 2 of this law, which are binding on all state bodies.

Legislative acts establish that in Russia every citizen has the right to provide him with equal living conditions, as well as to create additional auxiliary conditions, if he needs them.

These rights are enshrined in the fundamental law of the Russian Federation, the Constitution, as well as in the Federal Law "On the Social Protection of the Disabled". Also, on the basis of Article 3.1 of this law, no one has the right to discriminate against people on the basis of disability and infringe on them in the rights granted to them by law.

The competences of federal bodies and local self-government bodies are distributed in Articles 4 and 5 of the Federal Law “On the Social Protection of the Disabled”. Based on this distribution, all federal and local authorities are required to act.

All disabled people are listed in the Pension Fund in a certain register, where basic data about each of them is entered. This register takes into account personal data, as well as information about a person’s work activity and benefits received by him. The procedure for maintaining this register is regulated by Article 5.1 of this Law.

Article 6 of the Federal Law "On the Social Protection of the Disabled" defines liability for causing harm to the health of any person that led to disability. Guilty people bear criminal, material, administrative and civil liability for causing harm to health.

You can familiarize yourself with what benefits are due to children with disabilities.

Medical and social expertise

Chapter 2 of this law establishes a specific procedure for determining disability. This conclusion is issued by the social medical examination. It includes doctors who must determine the severity of the disease and its consequences, which lead to the defective functioning of a person. The definition and activities of this expert group are defined in Article 7 of the Federal Law “On the Social Protection of the Disabled”.

Based on the determination of the human condition, this commission must also analyze and provide the following data:

  • rehabilitation course for the restoration of a person;
  • analysis of the causes of disability and its nature in general among the population of Russia;
  • development of general comprehensive measures for disabled people of each group;
  • causes of death of persons with disabilities in situations where the family of the deceased is entitled to receive state support;
  • the degree of disability of a disabled person;
  • conclusion about the disability group.

These obligations are specified in Article 8 of this Law. The decision of this commission is not subject to challenge by other authorities and is mandatory for execution.

Rehabilitation and habilitation of the disabled

Habilitation is understood as the process of restoring the abilities that a person lacked for everyday and professional activities. This definition is specified in Article 8 of this Law.

Article 33 of the Federal Law “On Social Protection of the Disabled” – public associations

In Russia, Article 33 of this legislative act allows public associations created to provide assistance to disabled people.

The state is obliged to assist them in the implementation of assistance to the disabled. This assistance is paid from the local budget of each subject.

In addition, the disabled themselves can create such associations. Their representatives should be involved in government decision-making concerning persons with disabilities. These associations may have real estate, cars and other property on their balance sheet.

Organizations whose charter capital consists of more than half of the contributions of the disabled, as well as the wage fund for a quarter provided to them, can be allocated buildings and non-residential premises for free use. In addition, such organizations participate in the small business support program.

Legal framework (latest version of bill 181)

Federal Law No. 181 of November 24, 1995 “On the Social Protection of the Disabled in the Russian Federation”, at the moment this is the latest version of the bill.

Minor changes have been made to it from time to time. The document currently contains the following chapters:

All chapters of the bill were adopted by the State Duma on July 20, 1995, and after consideration, the Federation Council approved this document on November 15, 1995, after which the normative act entered into force after being signed by the President of the Russian Federation.

Significant changes have not been made over the entire period, but regular minor amendments made through other Federal laws make the life of disabled people better every year.

The main characteristics of the Federal Law on the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities in the Russian Federation

Like any other regulatory legal act, the law on the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities in the Russian Federation has its own characteristics.

Let's take a closer look at the main ones:

The legislative act fully reflects the rights of persons with disabilities As well as the people who care for them.
The text of the document contains verbatim information about How can a citizen with serious illnesses or injuries receive a disability category
In case of unjustified actions against a disabled person You can always enlist the support of a lawyer and refer to this law.
Based on legislation Citizens can apply for themselves the benefits and privileges they are entitled to from the state
The text of the document reveals in detail the importance of each citizen of the Russian Federation Including people with disabilities
Referring to this law and the Labor Code of the Russian Federation Every citizen with disabilities has the right to apply for simplified working conditions
Based on this federal law Local authorities make additional comfortable conditions for the disabled

It is possible to characterize this document for a long time. But the most important thing that should be noted about the adopted normative act is that it reveals in detail the essence of the problem of limited human capabilities.

Rehabilitation rules

For citizens with disabilities, rehabilitation is of primary importance in life. For them, this is the hope for a speedy return to normal life.

As part of this bill, recovery centers have been created and continue to be created in each region, which will allow people with disabilities to return to life faster.

Additionally, based on the text of this law, every disabled person has the right to make an annual trip to a rehabilitation sanatorium, where specialists will work with him.

There are a number of rehabilitation rules for the disabled:

  • at the federal level, there are a number of rehabilitation measures;
  • only state structures approve the means and equipment for carrying out remedial or preventive measures;
  • the entire rehabilitation program for a person with disabilities, provided by the state, is available absolutely free of charge.

At present, all issues related to restoration programs, as well as the attitude to the facilities where it is carried out, are given close attention by state commissions. It is not allowed here that a person with a disability is treated negligently.

Providing citizens with housing

Another problem that is sharply touched upon in this legislative act is the allocation of housing to those in need and, if necessary, the improvement of living conditions.

Many disabled people currently do not have their own living space, or it is in disrepair.

According to the normative legal act, local authorities, in the event of such circumstances, must do everything necessary to eliminate this controversial moment.

As a rule, needy persons with disabilities are allocated rooms in dormitories, more rarely they can apply for an apartment or a private house.

If the housing is in an emergency condition, then it is first decided to allocate funds for major repairs, or to relocate the disabled person. The same applies to families with children with disabilities.

Features of working conditions

Persons who have health deviations can also be officially employed, but there is a slight difference in the groups:

  • the first category is recognized as completely disabled;
  • the second group is recognized as partially working;
  • the third category has only minor limitations.

An additional difference between the groups is that the first does not have to undergo an annual confirmation of their disability, unlike the second and third, which have to undergo an annual medical commission to confirm the category of disability.

Let us consider in more detail the features of the workplace, which should officially be created for a person who has a disability:

  1. Half-holiday.
  2. Availability of additional days off.
  3. The ability to take a vacation at any time.
  4. The workplace must necessarily be equipped under the restriction that the employee has.
  5. Additionally, at the workplace of a disabled person, there should be a notification about the presence of a citizen with health restrictions.

If all this is absent, then officially the disabled person will not be employed, since any labor inspection will have to impose a ban on the citizen’s labor activity, and his manager will be fined.

Today, a separate layer of society lives on the territory of the Russian Federation - people with disabilities (disabled people), while there are citizens with health problems, both from early childhood and at an older age.
