The rights of a disabled child in Russia are realized in different ways. The kid receives cash benefits, and his parents or guardians have privileges, including those under labor law.
What are the benefits of a family with a disabled person
The privileges of a disabled child are regulated by law. When a baby grows up in a family, certain rights apply to his parents or guardians. In this case, the family is considered as a unit that must be supported by the state, taking into account the illness of a small family member.
The rights of the disabled child are designed to ensure a decent life for him
All types of privileges of a family with a disabled child can be divided into the following groups:
- pension;
- housing;
- transport;
- medical;
- tax.
There are different types of support for parents in accordance with labor laws, assistance in providing education and treatment for the baby.
According to the law on state pensions, the baby receives a social pension and an additional payment to this amount. The state pays his involuntarily unemployed mother or guardian 60% of the minimum monthly wage.
A mother who has reached 50 years old begins to receive a pension from the state, but only if her work experience is 15 years. The period of caring for the baby is included in the work experience. One of the conditions for receiving a pension from this age is to raise your child up to 8 years old. Moms are entitled to this pension even if the baby has already died.
