Free cars will be returned to disabled war veterans. The draft law on cars for war invalids was submitted to the State Duma Cars for war invalids 28 05
People with disabilities have the right to count on versatile assistance from the state. The task of every highly developed society is to make people with disabilities feel comfortable and can easily socialize, participate in public life, and work. One of the forms of state support for such citizens is the provision of a special car to move around the city. A car for the disabled is not just a means of transportation. This is an opportunity not to experience restrictions and be the same as everyone else. Let us consider how such a social measure for the protection of people with disabilities operates in Russia.
Legislative regulation of the issue
The main legislative act on the basis of which a free car is issued for the disabled is Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 244 of March 1995. In addition, people with disabilities are entitled to the following benefits:
- acquisition at the expense of the budget of the Social Insurance Fund of special vehicles;
- carrying out complex technical repairs of the provided vehicle;
- compensation of expenses for the purchase of gasoline or other fuels and lubricants, provided for by the rules for operating the car;
- cars for the disabled are MOT and undergo minor repairs free of charge.
In 2004, this resolution was canceled by Federal Law No. 122-FZ. Getting a car with manual control for the disabled became available only to those citizens who stood in line until 2005 inclusive. For the rest of the individuals with 1 or 2 disability group of the corresponding profile (wheelchair users), the benefits are monetized.
Conditions for obtaining a free / preferential car from the state for disabled people in 2019
Cars for the disabled in 2019 are available only to those who joined the queue before 2005. In order to exercise their right to receive special disabled vehicles, a citizen needs to have certain medical certificates and papers on hand:
- confirming the presence of a disability of the corresponding group;
- the conclusion of a medical and social examination, which determines the need to provide a wheelchair user or a patient with a prosthetic and orthopedic profile with a budget car;
- medical examination confirming the ability to drive a special vehicle (driver's certificate).
Also, a citizen with a certain disability group or his legal representative (guardian, parent, etc.) must have a valid driver's license.
In addition, an individual applying for a car or other manually operated vehicle must belong to one of the preferential categories:
- veterans and participants of the Second World War, as well as citizens equated to them;
- prisoners of concentration camps who at the time of their stay in them were not yet 18 years old;
- disabled children with congenital diseases of the musculoskeletal system;
- citizens who have received disability due to radioactive exposure.
What should be a car for the disabled
- Safety - the use of special vehicles cannot pose any danger to all road users. This means that the car should be as comfortable and convenient as possible for a person with disabilities to drive.
- Convenience - disabled people with mobility problems should be able to easily fit in the car, as well as to be comfortable in it.
The legal and material basis of this social assistance to the disabled was laid back in the USSR, therefore, unfortunately, the implementation of the above points did not take place. Citizens were given cars of the brands "Tavria" or "Oka", converted to the needs of people with disabilities, or motorized wheelchairs with manual control. This transport was neither safe nor comfortable for the driver and / or passenger. Therefore, after the introduction of the legislative norm on the possibility of obtaining monetary compensation, many disabled people preferred to purchase a car of a different level. The acquired foreign cars had to be specially equipped with a mounted control unit. Then they had to receive a certificate for their purchase and installation of equipment and register the changes with the traffic police. Despite all the difficulties, such cars could become an excellent means of transportation and transportation for the disabled. In addition, such machines after the allotted period of operation do not need to be returned to social security authorities. They can be sold or rewritten to the next of kin.
The procedure for obtaining a car for disabled people in 2019
Where to go
Periodically, rumors circulate in society that from January 1, 2017, people with disabilities can be given free cars. This is not true. Only those citizens who were on the waiting list before 2005 are entitled to receive cars. At the same time, the partially in-kind expression of the benefit was replaced by monetary compensation (100,000 rubles). However, there is an objective opinion of experts that the former obligations of the state have long been fulfilled in full.
Currently, disabled people can only count on the provision of the “Social Taxi” service to them. To use it, you need:
In the event that manual vehicles are again added to the list of technical means of rehabilitation for the disabled, a body responsible for receiving applications and distributing preferences in order of priority will also be appointed. And all interested persons will receive notifications from the social protection authorities.
Required documents
As a basis for connecting a particular citizen with disabilities to the Social Taxi service, the following documents must be submitted to the disabled society:
- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
- SNILS;
- certificate of assignment of a disability group;
- bank account details (social card).
Terms of receipt
When all the necessary documents are provided, and the formalities are observed, the registration of a disabled person in the list of beneficiaries for a social taxi occurs quickly. A few days after registration, a citizen will be able to use preferential transport.
Other transport preferences for car owners
A hand-operated car for the disabled is not the only benefit that citizens of this category could count on. Currently, it is impossible to receive a car or monetary compensation for it, but it is realistic to assume privileges in the following areas:
- . Regional and municipal authorities are in charge of the budget collection, and decisions are made at the level of regions, administrations and municipalities to reduce or abolish the car use tax. Disabled people who bought cars on their own or received them from the state are entitled to a 50% discount when paying transport tax. An important condition is that the engine power of special vehicles is not more than 100 horsepower. In financially prosperous regions of Russia, the authorities are abolishing the transport tax for veterans of the Second World War with disabilities, as well as disabled people of the first and second groups.
- Social taxi. For the transportation of sedentary citizens (subject to the presence of medical indications) in the cities of Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg, etc.) there is a “Social Taxi”. Citizens pay for trips around the city and suburbs by taxi on preferential terms (hourly payment at a reduced rate). The service is provided to both disabled people and accompanying persons.
- Maintenance. If the disabled person has his own car (issued by the social security authorities or purchased for cash), an extraordinary MOT is required.
Important! Transport preferences apply to people with disabilities of any age. If a child with a physical disability lives in the family, the parents receive the right to use the existing transportation benefits.
Is the group and other nuances of getting a car important?
In 2019, it is planned to consider the issue of improving the mobility of citizens with physical disabilities. Two options for solving the problem have been identified.
Many are interested in whether it is possible to count on transport benefits, whether he is entitled to a car. Let's try to figure out how things are with this issue today. It should be noted that in recent years, the legislative framework in terms of social support for disabled people and participants in the Great Patriotic War has changed a lot. Getting a car has become much more difficult as most benefits have been eliminated.
But for this category of the population, preferential taxation is provided in connection with disability. Participation in hostilities, injuries and other reasons may be a legitimate reason for applying for a reduced duty / exemption from transport tax.
Who are the disabled?
Disabled people are a category of citizens who have serious injuries, health problems that interfere with employment, self-service and self-control. Because of such problems, they cannot provide themselves financially, manage in everyday life without outside help. These include disabled children from childhood and the Great Patriotic War, as well as participants in groups 1-3.
In order to confirm disability and guarantee the right to benefits, applicants must confirm their disability with a certificate from a medical and social institution. An appropriate conclusion is issued after a thorough examination. As part of the survey, it is possible to identify the degree of violations in order to determine the complexity of carrying out household activities for self-service.
Participants of the first group are persons who have lost at least one of the following abilities:
- self-care at home;
- orientation in space;
- movement;
- control of own actions;
- communication.
Until the end of the year, more than 17,000 disabled people will receive free cars. Who will get them? Is there financial compensation if a person does not want to take a car? Will I have to pay taxes on this money? Olga Samarina, Director of the Department of Social Protection of the Ministry of Health and Social Development, answered these and many other questions from our readers.
Listings for cars closed
- Hello, Olga Viktorovna, this is Rubtsov, a disabled person of the first group. I am not a walker. How can I get a car?
This year, the cars will be received by participants in the Great Patriotic War, disabled veterans of the Great Patriotic War, and categories of citizens equated to them. And most importantly, these people had to stand in line to receive a car until January 1, 2005.
- I didn’t stand in line, so I won’t get a car?
Unfortunately you won't.
- And how to sign up for this queue?
It is no longer possible to sign up for it, because since January 1, 2005, cars have been excluded from the list of technical means, and this benefit has been monetized. To put it simply, the handicapped was given an increase instead of a car, which you receive as a monthly cash payment.
- Means, neither the car, nor indemnification to me are not necessary?
If you did not stand in line, then you are not allowed to.
- Hello, my son has been sick since the age of 13, he has ankylosing spondylitis. Since the musculoskeletal system was damaged, he was given a car. A few years ago, we went to the Moscow Regional Research Clinical Institute and tried to get on the waiting list. But the commission decided that we were not allowed to have a car, since there were not enough cars and many more severely disabled people also did not have enough ...
What year was it?
- About seven years ago.
Weren't you put on the waiting list?
- They refused. What should I do to put my child on the waiting list?
Since January 1, 2005, the queue has been closed, since then no one has been put on it. The only thing you can do... Where do you live?
- In the suburbs, in Podlipki.
Contact the social security of the Moscow region. Maybe they will provide you with some assistance in allocating transport, if necessary.
- Well, if they refuse us, what can we do?
Nothing. If you really need a car, the regional authorities can meet you halfway by considering your question individually. This will be the good will of the government of the Moscow region. You have no legal basis for obtaining a car.
No taxes are taken from compensation
- I have a car by law. Where to go to get it?
Don't worry, you've already completed all the necessary paperwork. The social security authorities have your address. As soon as the cars arrive in the region, this will be reported.
- When should they be delivered?
In the end of November. And in early December, we plan to provide everyone who is supposed to have cars.
- Until 2005, a disabled person had the right to change a car every seven years. Does the same scheme work now?
No, you will receive the car immediately. You are removed from the queue for receiving the car and lose the right to exchange it.
- Worried Bezhaev Vladimir Nikolaevich, Togliatti. In 1998, I received a car from your organization. At that time, every seven years the state changed cars for new ones. But when I came in 2005 to get a new car, they told me: "Sorry, it's all over." Do I have a chance of getting a new car?
- Quite right.
The queue is now closed. At the moment, I can not tell you anything comforting about the replacement of vehicles.
- This year they promise me compensation of 100 thousand rubles instead of a car. Will I have to pay taxes on this amount?
The state does not need to pay any money. This is a compensation payment, and in accordance with the Tax Code, taxes are not taken from it.
- Hello, you are worried about Anna Alekseevna Porkhaeva. My son is a disabled person of the first group. Does he have a car or not?
Was your son in line to get a car?
We have moved to another area. They said that the documents were sent, but we lost all this.
Try to find documents. If you were in this queue, then next year your son will receive compensation in the amount of 100 thousand rubles. Your task is to recover documents. Please contact the Social Security Office. If they don't tell you anything, then go to the city Department of Social Security. Let them deal with their structural divisions.
