Order of the Federal Customs Service of Russia dated 01.03.2012 N 34-r
"On the classification of individual goods according to the Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity of the Customs Union"
(Registered with the Ministry of Justice of Russia on April 28, 2012 N 24001)

The IPR at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund includes TSR (including orthopedic shoes) ONLY for pathology leading to acute respiratory distress.
In other cases, it is possible to include TSR in the IPR (including orthopedic shoes), but in this case, in the “Executor” column it is indicated: “The disabled person himself” or “At the expense of the disabled person.”

On the possibility of including technical means of rehabilitation (TCP) in the individual rehabilitation program for a disabled person (IRP) at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation for concomitant pathologies, I inform you that in accordance with Article 11.1, the decision to provide disabled people with TCP is made based on the results of an examination at the medical bureau. social expertise:

“For medical reasons, it is established that it is necessary to provide a disabled person with technical means of rehabilitation that provide compensation or elimination of persistent limitations in the disabled person’s life.”

According to clause 1 of the “Procedure for the development and implementation of an individual rehabilitation program for a disabled person (disabled child)”, approved by , the development of IPR is carried out during a medical and social examination based on an assessment of the limitations in life activity caused by a persistent disorder of body functions and the rehabilitation potential.

Assessment of the nature and extent of impaired body functions and possible limitations in life activity is carried out using the “Classifications and criteria used in the implementation of medical and social examination of citizens by federal state institutions of medical and social examination” approved (Classification).

Determination of the degree of impaired functions, in accordance with clause 4 of the Classification, is carried out comprehensively, i.e. with an assessment of all their characterizing parameters.

Thus, TCPs are recommended for the purpose of compensating or eliminating persistent limitations in life activities caused by persistent disorders of body functions. In cases where, according to the results of a medical and social examination, dysfunctions of the body, including concomitant pathologies, do not lead to limitations in life, there are no grounds for establishing disability.

Consequently, there are no legal grounds for including TCP in the IPR for pathologies that do not lead to limitation of life activity.

To include orthopedic shoes in the IPR of a disabled person, it is necessary to attach to the Referral to MTU in form 0-88/u the conclusion of the medical-technical commission (MTC act), which is drawn up by orthopedic prosthetists of the medical departments of prosthetic and orthopedic enterprises.

A referral for a consultation to a prosthetic and orthopedic company to obtain this conclusion is usually issued to the patient by the OOLPP, which issues him a Referral to MTU in the form 0-88/y.
Less often, patients independently turn to prosthetic and orthopedic enterprises and receive there an MTC certificate stating their need for orthopedic shoes.
In both the first and second cases, in the Referral to MSE in form 0-88/y, the OOLPP must indicate the patient’s need to be provided with orthopedic shoes.

Medical indications for providing disabled people with orthopedic shoes:
Persistent moderate and severe disturbances of the static-dynamic function, leading to acute insufficiency in the category of independent movement (this is a mandatory condition) due to diseases, consequences of injuries, deformities of the feet: static insufficiency of the feet with pronounced anatomical manifestations; shortening of limb length over 30 mm; congenital and amputation foot defects; paralytic foot deformities; congenital deformities (equino-varus deformity (clubfoot), equinus (equine) foot, plano-valgus foot, etc.); residual deformities after foot injuries; ankylosis of the ankle joint; lymphostasis (elephantiasis) and acromegaly; use of fixation devices and splints, diabetic foot syndrome.

Orthopedic shoes do not fit into the IPR (and are not manufactured) for patients who have foot deformities, but suffer from severe concomitant diseases that exclude the possibility of walking in orthopedic shoes.

Absolute medical contraindications to providing disabled people with orthopedic shoes:
Extensive trophic ulcers of the foot, gangrene, widespread purulent processes in soft tissues, lack of weight-bearing ability of the lower limb due to extensive cicatricial changes in tissue prone to ulceration, in elderly people with severe general frailty and inability to move.
Allergic reactions to orthopedic product materials.

Russian disabled people are considered a vulnerable category of citizens, therefore the state pays attention to them by providing them with various benefits. The number of the latter, their set and calculations expressed in material terms may be different depending on the disability group that is assigned to a citizen with disabilities. What benefits can disabled people expect? Is it possible to replace non-material benefits with money?

About additional payments and regional benefits

In the Russian Federation, each year the amount of additional payment is established for a certain category of citizens, among whom there are disabled people. Thus, additional cash payments began to be received by disabled people who were participants in the Great Patriotic War, former military personnel, former liquidators of the Chernobyl accident, former cosmonauts, and residents of besieged Leningrad. The amounts of such additional payments may vary within the following limits: from 100% to 300% of social pensions.

In addition, every Russian citizen who is disabled is entitled to benefits provided to him at the regional level. In cities and regions, for many years they have been using the practice of providing priority services to disabled people in one institution or another, issuing free clothing and food. Another common benefit for people with disabilities is free installation of landline phones. Often companies that were once employers of the disabled person also help. You can find out about the full list of preferences from your local social security department.

Can a wife receive benefits if her husband is a disabled person of the first group?

Often people faced with this problem ask themselves: what benefits are there for a wife if her husband is disabled in group 1? The tax code does not provide deductions for the maintenance of dependent spouses, regardless of whether they are disabled or not. The standard deduction applies to those taxpayers who provide for children under 18 years of age or full-time students, residents, graduate students, and cadets under the age of 24.

Small benefits are provided (which are not taxed 500 rubles per month) for disabled people of the first and second groups, if they have a job or other income. However, there are pitfalls here: if a taxpayer has the right to more than one tax deduction, then the largest one is provided. That is, the maximum of tax benefits is issued, and the rest are not counted.

Providing medical benefits to disabled people of the second group

What medical benefits should group 2 disabled people expect this year? Unemployed disabled people in this category have the right to free medicines based on a doctor's prescription.

Benefits provided for disabled combat veterans

What benefits can different categories of disabled people enjoy in Moscow?

What benefits are there for disabled people of group 1 in Moscow in 2019? What is provided for people with other disability groups? To support people with disabilities, the concept of “additional material support” was introduced at the state level.

When calculating financial support for disabled people of categories I, II and III, the following parameters are taken into account:

1) the amount of the pension paid;

2) a cash payment (if any), which must be issued monthly, which includes the cost of paying for social services.

In 2019, the state covers expenses regarding:

use of public transport (suburban or urban);

using telephone communications (this applies only to landline phones).

What other benefits are provided to disabled people of group 2 in Moscow and the Moscow region, as well as to other categories of disabled people?

Social supplements are added to the pensions of mature disabled people and children with disabilities. The same applies to children who are not yet 18 years old, but have already lost their breadwinner.

In addition, each region indicates its own groups of beneficiaries. There is also a list of organizations that provide the necessary services, taking into account the rules and regulations of local legislation. Here people with disabilities can use free help or help with a 50% discount. In Moscow and other megacities this year there are much more such points than in the outback.

These benefits can be used by disabled people of group 3 in Moscow and the Moscow region, and the same applies to disabled people of other groups.

Benefits and benefits for single mothers

What benefits are available to a single disabled mother? A woman raising a child on her own is a mother deprived of the support of the child’s father in material support and upbringing.

This year, benefits for single mothers apply not only to a woman’s natural children, but also to adopted ones.

Single mother benefits are awarded only in the following cases:

1) the court and the registry office did not register paternity;

2) if a single woman adopted children;

3) when the court proceedings dissolved the fact of paternity.

The child's legal father is the man listed on the marriage certificate. Dad is not necessarily the biological father. It is enough for the registry office to prepare documentation that allows a man to raise children.

Benefits and allowances are NOT accrued to the mother if:

1) the child has a legal father, and paternity has been certified by the court;

2) the child’s mother is divorced from her husband and does not receive alimony from him established by the court;

3) the child's father was officially deprived of the opportunity to raise him.

The status of “single mother” is also invalid when the child was born before the end of the three-hundred-day period after the parents’ divorce or annulment of the marriage.

In order for the mother to receive benefits legally, there should be no mention of the father in the papers confirming the birth of the child. The status of “single mother” is considered official after the single mother receives a certificate in Form No. 25.

Labor benefits for single mothers

1.When an enterprise where a single mother works dismisses staff, she has no right to be laid off if her child is under 14 years of age. Such a reduction is considered unlawful even when there is a change in the management of the enterprise. The conditions for dismissal of a single mother due to violations of discipline during the work process can be discussed.

2.If the company where a single mother worked was canceled, she must be offered an alternative job.

3.Single mothers, like mothers without this status, have the right to financial assistance when it comes to caring for sick children. The amount of the benefit is established in accordance with the mother’s work experience and is paid during inpatient treatment of the child. The mother receives benefits during the first ten days from the time of the child’s illness.

4.A single mother can receive the full amount of sick leave if she needs to care for a sick child who is under seven years old. If the child is older than this age, sick leave is paid for 14 days.

5.A single mother can take up to two weeks of leave at her own expense.

6.A single mother cannot be required to work overtime if her child is under five years old. The same rule applies to working at night and on weekends.

7.Mothers in Moscow receive additional benefits when hired. Employers cannot refuse employment to single mothers because they have children.

Using tax benefits

For single mothers, there is a double tax deduction for expenses for providing for children who have not reached the age of majority. If an adult child manages to enroll in a university, he will be able to enjoy tax benefits until he reaches 24 years of age.

Preferential tax deduction periods for single mothers mean that part of the income will not be subject to tax levies.

Other benefits and allowances

1.You can receive linen for a newborn baby.

2. Children of single mothers are provided with vouchers for health improvement in a sanatorium.

3.A single mother may temporarily not have to pay for the maintenance of a multi-storey building and waste disposal. The benefit can be used until the child is 1.5 years old.

4.Children of single mothers have the right to attend preschool institutions, clubs, and sections with a 25% or higher discount.

5.Children of a single mother who are under two years old have the right to receive preferential milk nutrition.

6.You can buy some medications at a big discount or even half the price.

7. In school canteens, children of single mothers receive two free meals a day.

8. If the children's clinic has a massage room, then children of single mothers can go to free massage sessions.

Help with housing

Mothers in Moscow can seek help from a government program designed to improve their housing situation. Thanks to the regulations of this city, single mothers can qualify for subsidized housing.

But first, the state must recognize a single woman with children as needing an improved quality of life.

A single mother who is not yet 35 years old can use the special “Housing” program, lobbied by the state. Thanks to this government initiative, young people can get more affordable housing than in spontaneous real estate markets.

In Moscow, this program is called “Affordable Housing for Young Families.” This is especially important for single mothers living in rented accommodation.

The legislation of the Russian Federation allows individual subjects of the country to regulate benefits and various payments for this category of the population.

Factors influencing the amount of mother's benefit:

1) income levels;

2) employment;

3) availability of regional registration;

4) amount of children.

Benefits introduced for disabled mothers

Like all other parents, such mothers have the right to receive federal benefits and payments upon the birth of a child. The amount of additional charges depends on the region in which the disabled mother lives. To find out detailed information about exactly what payments mothers with disabilities can expect, you should contact your local social protection department. In Moscow, such mothers receive payments due to the rising cost of living and food. In addition, mothers of disabled children and those mothers whose income is below the subsistence level receive additional payments. The remaining benefits coincide with those provided by the state for single mothers.

Legislative acts on the topic

Common mistakes

Error: The term for using orthopedic shoes has not yet expired, but the disabled person requires a replacement pair of shoes.

A comment: If the period of use of the shoes has not expired, repairs must be made at a specialized institution. If the shoes cannot be repaired, you need to obtain a medical and technical examination report - then the shoes will be replaced ahead of schedule.

Error: The disabled person did not know which types of shoes were eligible for compensation.

How to get orthopedic shoes for free if such a need arises? First you need to visit an orthopedist, and then the Social Security Administration. This organization will provide a document stating that interested parties are entitled to benefits. It is with him that they go to the official orthopedic center to order the necessary shoes.

State law states that a child who needs corrective shoes is entitled to free orthopedic shoes. But few people are aware of this fact. Moreover, in order to receive for free in the Russian Federation what is supposed to be free of charge, the interested person should show an extraordinary mind, great patience and perseverance. Yes, and you can’t do without certain tips. But first, it would be nice to understand what corrective shoes are and what their features are.

Corrective shoes: who needs them and why?

The task of orthopedic shoes is to treat, correct and prevent disorders of posture, gait, and flat feet. It has a huge number of advantages over a regular pair of shoes or boots:

such shoes have a structure that helps correct progressive foot deformities;
its tailoring takes place taking into account all sanitary and hygienic standards and requirements;
It is possible to manufacture such products to order according to the child’s personal parameters, taking into account the testimony of the orthopedic doctor.

But the main advantage that orthopedic shoes for children have is preserving the health of children, because no medications or exercises will help so much in the correct formation of the foot, gait, and posture.

How to get free correction shoes?

The government decree states that a child under 16 years of age can count on receiving free corrective shoes in the amount of two pairs (summer and winter) once a year, and should also be provided with free orthopedic insoles (one pair every six months). For people with disabilities, this norm has been increased: they are required to be provided with 4 pairs of corrective shoes per year. But how is it issued?

To get orthopedic shoes, which, as the law says, is due to every child in need, you must first see an orthopedic doctor. The specialist will conduct an examination, check the condition of the feet and posture, and also send you for x-rays. If deviations are revealed during the examination, the doctor will write out a specific direction for the manufacture of corrective shoes and insoles.

Then you need to find out whether this particular child is eligible to be provided with corrective shoes for free. For this purpose, they visit the Department of Social Protection of the Population. It is there that the decision is made regarding the provision of preferential correctional shoes. Such a decision is made on the basis of certain documents indicating the preferential status of a person.

This could be documentation from the clinic indicating the diagnosis and doctor’s orders, confirming the preferential status of the paper (a document indicating the status of a mother of many children, confirming disability, pension certificate), as well as a civil passport. As a rule, free correction products are provided:

disabled people;
children who need foot correction;
large families (three or more children in a family);
socially vulnerable layers of citizens (with income below the established subsistence level).

After receiving a document from the Social Security Administration that a certain person is entitled to free corrective shoes, you can immediately go to an orthopedic shoe manufacturing point (salon, workshop). If there is a need to produce complex orthopedic shoes, then it is much easier to place an order at a factory for the production of corrective shoes. Wherever a person turns, it is natural that he needs to cooperate with an organization that has official status, which can easily issue the necessary papers (invoice, cash receipt).

As a rule, they should contain the name of the organization, its legal address, the type of services provided to the person, as well as their cost. It goes without saying that such a document must have the seal of the enterprise.

Important nuances

In any center for the production of orthopedic shoes chosen by a person, they are sewn according to the instructions of an orthopedic doctor. Such shoes are not given away for free, that is, you still need to pay for them yourself. But in the future, such persons are entitled to compensation from the Social Security Administration if they provide the above documentation.

There is also one more very important nuance: although the costs of corrective shoes are reimbursed, such compensation has a certain limit - this is the amount beyond which parents will not be reimbursed. So this detail should be taken into account when choosing the right product at the orthopedic center. But this, of course, is not a problem if parents are not embarrassed by the difference that they will need to pay extra from their own pockets. In addition, an important point is that free shoes are provided only to children with foot deformities. So you shouldn’t rely on this option if the child only needs to prevent flat feet.

It is possible that the procedure for obtaining free corrective shoes is somewhat different from the algorithm described above in a particular region, so it is recommended that you first clarify this issue with the Social Security Administration at your place of residence.
