The life of the disabled in most cases is devoid of joyful moments. In our country, social support for citizens with health problems is also minimal, which is influenced by the economic situation and the absence of a long stable period in the economy.
Let's talk about what subsidies citizens with disabilities of the 1st group can apply for in relation to payment for housing and communal services.
Who is supposed to
Disability is determined based on several criteria:
- inability to communicate with other people;
- disorientation and inability to control one's own behavior;
- absolute dependence on outsiders and inability to serve oneself independently;
- inability to move independently.
When placing in a disability group, specialists take into account both a combination of several criteria, and any of them. A citizen who has pronounced restrictions receives a certificate of a disabled person indicating the appropriate group.

When establishing a disability group, the causes of injuries and defects are of great importance.
These do not include injuries resulting from:
- alcohol or drug intoxication;
- intentionally harming oneself (for example, in the case of a suicide attempt);
- illegal actions.
The state provides full support to all disabled people of this group in several areas:
- labor;
- social;
- medical;
- educational.
Today we will talk in more detail about social support in the form of benefits for paying utility bills. It is this item of expenditure that often becomes a burden for citizens who are deprived of the right to work fully.
What are the benefits for paying utility bills for people with disabilities of group 1
Benefits, subsidies and payments are strictly regulated by law. The main current regulatory act is the Federal Law “On the Protection of the Disabled” at number 181. We advise everyone applying for social protection measures to familiarize themselves with article No. 17 in it.
Benefits for paying utility bills can be received by families in which a disabled person lives. It is important to note that many beneficiaries receive discounts based on the average consumption rate. This rule does not apply to disabled people of the 1st group.
- a 50% discount on utility bills;
- free use of a radio point (as a rule, applies to the visually impaired);
- discounts when paying for telephone communications (valid in some regions).
Funds for benefits are allocated both from the local budgets of the regions and from the federal one. The regional authorities establish regional discounts and additional benefits independently and have the right to change them depending on the possibilities of local budgets.
The most common benefit is a 50% discount on utility bills. It is paid from the federal budget and is not subject to change for many years. As mentioned above, the consumption standard in this case rarely plays a role.
It is calculated depending on the situation in the family of a disabled person as follows:
- For a family in which a citizen with the first group of disabilities lives, the calculation is made by subtracting the share of the beneficiary. To do this, the number of residents in the apartment and the readings of meters for water, gas, electricity, and so on are taken into account.
- If the disabled person lives separately, the discount is issued according to the amount of resources consumed. Averages are not taken into account.
- It happens that several beneficiaries live in the family at once, among which is a citizen with the first group of disabilities. For each of them the discount is calculated individually.
A number of regions offer additional measures to support people with disabilities. Information about them should be clarified in the local administration or in the nearest department of social support for the population.
The most costly item of expenditure when paying for housing and communal services is payment for heat in the winter. In some regions, it is necessary to heat almost all year round. But not all citizens in our country live in apartments and houses with centralized heating.
In this situation, the discount on utility bills remains. The state additionally calculates fuel consumption and pays the needy money in the form of compensation of 50% of its cost.
It is important to know that benefits do not automatically accrue when a doctor issues a disappointing verdict. A citizen will be required to properly complete the documents in order to receive discounts and other preferences.
How to issue
The registration process begins with obtaining a certificate of a disabled person of group 1. The receipt of documents for a disabled person is preceded by a medical commission, which issues a verdict and issues an additional rehabilitation program.
As soon as the certificates are received, you will need to take them to the branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of permanent registration and issue a certificate.
The next step is to get discounts and benefits. For their registration, contact the department of social protection of the population or the nearest office of the MFC. After providing the necessary documents, the issue will be considered within 5-7 days. Discounts and benefits are calculated automatically.
If you plan to receive compensation, specify in what form it will be more convenient to receive it:
- by transfer to a card of Sberbank of Russia (an account is opened in a bank branch first, the card is issued in a few days);
- in cash through the Russian Post (you will need to receive money monthly on your own or through a representative).
To receive benefits for paying utility bills, it is important that there are no overpayments and debts on the account at the time of submission of documents. The discount is assigned from the month in which the citizen applied to the organization.
The discount does not apply to the provision of cable and satellite television, as well as the Internet.
An important stage of preparation is the collection of documents. It's not hard to do, it just takes time.
Required documents
The following documents are submitted to the Pension Fund for registration of disability:
- internal passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation (plus two copies from the main page and the page with a mark of registration at the place of residence);
- SNILS;
- work book (plus copies of all pages);
- medical opinion;
- individual rehabilitation program.
The certificates are valid for only a few days, they must be fresh, so do not put off applying to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for a long time. It is advisable to apply immediately.
To receive discounts and compensations for payment of utility bills, the following documents are submitted to the social protection department:
- certificate of a disabled person;
- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
- document on the ownership of residential property;
- certificate of family composition (ordered in advance at the MFC);
- certificate of account status (from the accounting department of the management company);
- two previous receipts for payment of utility bills.
Under the Federal Law "On the Protection of the Disabled", the state guarantees assistance in paying part of the cost of utilities. A person with an assigned disability of the first group cannot be denied this right.
In case of illegal actions on the part of employees of state bodies, a written explanation should be required.
In recent years, the state program for the protection of persons with disabilities has risen to a new level. This is especially noticeable in large cities. However, the standard of living of people with disabilities remains low. Assistance in paying utility bills will help many citizens, it is necessary to defend their rights today.
What are the benefits for people with disabilities of the 1st group? After all, the first group of disability itself is assigned to a person if he is recognized as completely disabled. He needs outside care. Such a group is the most difficult in terms of the physical state of the body. For financial security, proper care for such citizens, benefits are provided for people with disabilities of the 1st group. If a person really confirmed the presence of any illness, injury, or was recognized as incapacitated during the examination by the medical commission, the state accrues material payments to him.
In conjunction with cash benefits, people with disabilities are entitled to:
- Social assistance and services (social package).
- Benefits for a disabled person of the 1st group, provided for by law.
- Pension and allowance.
- Housing subsidies
Starting from 2005, the state compensates for any benefits in the form of payments, cash subsidies, along with the basic pension. To be able to receive such payments, you should contact the relevant civil service with all the required documents. List of required papers:
- pension insurance certificate;
- the passport;
- a certificate issued by a medical and social examination on the assignment of a disability.
Benefits provided by the state
For every citizen of Russia, social services established by the state are guaranteed, including the provision of medicines, the organization of treatment in sanatoriums with the provision of free travel, etc. If you wish, you can instead choose to receive cash benefits or payments, or receive the assistance you need through social service services.
People with disability group 1 have the right to preferential education - non-competitive admission to educational institutions, both secondary special and higher, taking into account the successful completion of the competitive basis or as a result of testing. The educational institution is obliged to provide all the appropriate conditions for learning and provide everything necessary for the passage of training, based on the specifics of the disease, as well as pay social scholarship, which is 50% higher than usual.
The state must fully provide people with disabilities with medicines, the list of which has been approved by the Ministry of Health. For disabled people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, the necessary prosthetics and orthopedic shoes are provided free of charge. Products must be manufactured at a special enterprise, meet all the requirements of GOST and the needs of a disabled person.
Eye prostheses or hearing aids must also be certified and issued by a healthcare facility. In the case of dental prosthetics, the situation is the same, with the exception of prostheses made of precious metals.
Labor legislation provides for a special work schedule, which states the following:
- reduction of the working day;
- total employment should not exceed 35 hours per week. At the same time, wages remain at the same level as those of other employees;
- increase in vacation time.
Subject to a 6-day working week, annual leave is due for a period of 30 days. In case of need for sanatorium treatment, vacation can be extended up to 45 days.
In the case when medical prescriptions allow a disabled person to work overtime or on weekends, then at his own request he can afford it.
Subsidies and benefits in the housing and communal sector imply a 50% discount on rent for housing (only in the case of municipal housing, state, public housing funds) and housing and communal services. Disabled people have the right to own land plots that are close to their place of permanent residence.
Beneficiaries are provided with life-long accommodation in the provided apartment, house. In the event of a disputable situation, the state is obliged to provide other suitable housing. If necessary, when a disabled person needs care, assistance in everyday life is required, he can count on it.

What is important to know?
Assistance with care, catering, assistance in obtaining legal and medical assistance, employment, organization of leisure, provision of funeral services should be provided to a preferential contingent of citizens free of charge:
- It is provided for disabled people with relatives who, for objective reasons, cannot provide proper care and assistance to needy family members (the only condition is the low level of pension received by these citizens compared to the subsistence level).
- In the case of living in a family where the income of each of the family members is below the subsistence level established for a particular region of residence.
Considering the situation when a single disabled person has no guardians, social services must provide their worker to provide care and arrange the life of the needy.
A separate issue concerns transport services. In this case, disabled people are not entitled to free service on all modes of transport, but they are given a discount if they purchase travel documents.
Free travel is provided on intracity (excluding taxis), suburban rail transport, as well as by car on the way to the place of treatment and back. A person (guardian) who accompanies a disabled person for treatment, assists in daily movement of the blind or people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, has the same right to exercise it.
One of the measures of social support for disabled people of the first group is a monthly cash payment (UDV) in the amount of 3538.52 rubles, taking into account the refusal of a set of social services.
In total, this set is presented in the amount of 1048.97 rubles, of which 804.94 rubles. are charged for medicines, 124.99 rubles. for sanatorium treatment, 116.04 rubles. for transport. Beneficiaries themselves choose how to dispose of support: receive money or use assistance in kind.
A disabled person of the first group is a person who cannot live without the help of other people. That is why the state makes life easier for the disabled person and his relatives by introducing benefits, cash payments, and the like.
What can a bedridden or sitting patient get for free?
Most often, a first-degree disabled person cannot work and provide for his life. To reduce the burden on loved ones, the state makes payments.
A disabled person who wants to get a job will receive support in this endeavor. And the patient who needs medicines will receive them in full.
Monthly cash payments in 2018-2019 from the state
A disabled person has fewer opportunities to earn as much as a healthy person does. At the same time, the cost of living is higher. So that the patient can cover the cost of housing, clothing, medicines, and the like, the state pays him money.
Main
The main payment is a pension. In 2018, this is a little less than 14 thousand rubles. Its size depends on where the pensioner lives and the length of service. The higher the price of essential products in the region, the higher the pension.
The next largest is the disability allowance. This is a federal payment. For 2018, it is 1075.19 rubles, regardless of the region. It is paid equally to all disabled people of the first group.
Additional
If a disabled person refuses to provide any benefits, then he receives a social payment instead. For example, if a disabled person refuses to travel to a sanatorium, then the state pays him an allowance of 130 rubles for a ticket and 120 rubles for travel to the sanatorium.
The allowances are:
- for medicines - 830 rubles;
- for a ticket - 130 rubles;
- for travel - 120 rubles.
A person with the first group receives a bonus each month, despite the fact that a trip to a sanatorium is provided less often.
Anyone who cares for a bedridden disabled person receives 1,200 rubles. It could be a close relative or family friend. The money comes as an addition to the pension.
On average, a disabled person of the first group receives 16,000 rubles from the state if he refuses social benefits. This may be enough for life, given that a disabled person, if desired and able to get a job.
Important! The amount of payments changes every year. The state raises the amount of payments, taking into account the level of inflation.
social services
A disabled person of the first group can count on receiving social services. The list of social services is very wide and covers various spheres of life.
Work
A disabled person who can and wants to work will receive assistance in finding a job from the state. Work is selected taking into account the characteristics of the disease. The number of working hours per week cannot exceed 35. For example, a wheelchair user can work at a computer.
Assistance with funeral services
The next service that the state will provide is assistance in funeral services.
If a close relative has died, then the disabled person does not pay part of the expenses, is not concerned about transportation, and so on.
Medical service
If a bedridden disabled person is left without relatives, and there is no one to take care of him, then the state will provide him with a nurse. She will help him in everyday matters, bring food and other things.
A disabled person of the first group is provided with free medical care. Even if the treatment does not relate to the disease of the disabled person. The main limitation is that the materials used in the treatment must be domestic.
Directions
A disabled person of the 1st group can travel around the city for free. The exception is a taxi. If he does not live in the city, then you can ride for free in the district.
Travel to sanatoriums and health centers are fully paid by the state. This also applies to the escort, but only to one.
Social benefits are not limited to this. A disabled person of the first group who needs help should contact the social department. In it, his request will be processed and help with solving the problem.
Housing and tax incentives
Payment for housing is another point that the state helps to overcome. It is especially important to provide housing for a disabled person who causes inconvenience to his close relatives.
Reduced housing costs
The main relief in this area is the ability to pay 50% of utilities. The state pays for the other half. This works in the case of state and municipal houses.
If a disabled person lives in a private house and heats the room with fuel, then he is entitled to a discount of 60%. The exact percentage depends on the region and fuel prices in it. It is worth remembering that the resale of fuel purchased at a discount is prohibited.
Obtaining an apartment or land
Another privilege of a disabled person of group 1 is that he can get an apartment. The condition for obtaining it is causing inconvenience to relatives with whom he lives now.
Moving should solve these inconveniences. This inconvenience may be the imbalance of the patient, which is a consequence of his illness. Otherwise, housing is provided on terms equal to other residents of Russia.
In addition to an apartment, a disabled person can apply for a land plot out of turn. It can serve for the construction of a household farm or private individual construction.
A ramp is installed near the entrance where the disabled person lives. If the doorway is too large for a wheelchair to pass through, then it can be expanded at the expense of the state. This applies to both the entrance door and the apartment. Such a citizen does not have to pay for all these services.
A disabled person does not pay tax on the property he owns. For example, for real estate. This does not apply to his relatives, even if he lives in their apartment or house.
How can a disabled person get an apartment? Who is eligible for emergency housing? What is the basis for extraordinary housing? How to register and register for housing? How is the area and size of housing calculated? How to get additional space to improve living conditions? You will get answers to all these questions in this video:
Admission to the university without a queue
Such citizens have another very important privilege - admission to a university without a queue. For admission, you must successfully pass the entrance exams.
During training, disabled people of the first group receive a scholarship 50% more than other students. The amount of the scholarship is not affected by academic performance.
Important! When paying for notary services, a disabled person of the 1st degree receives a 50% discount. He is completely exempt from duties if he files a claim for property worth less than a million rubles.
What benefits are provided to disabled people of group 1, you will learn from this video:
In our new material, we will talk about the types of benefits that people with disabilities of all groups living in the Russian Federation can use this year.
Disability Insurance Pension
This type of pension is accrued to people with disabilities who were given group 1, 2 or 3. At the same time, insurance experience plays a role, regardless of its duration. By the way, the reasons that led to disability, as well as the period of its onset, are not important. The same applies to the fact that a disabled person is employed.
In 2019 (since January 1), the monthly insurance pension accrued to disabled people of the 1st group is 10,668.38 rubles (without dependents). The pension changes upwards if there is one dependent (12,446.44 rubles), two (14,224.50 rubles) or three (16,002.56 rubles).
Disabled people of the 2nd group are entitled to 5334.19 rubles. Here, too, the number of dependents is affected. If we are talking about one person, the payment will reach 7112.25 rubles. When there are several dependents, 8890.31 rubles are charged. With an increase by one more person, the insurance pension reaches 10,668.37 rubles.
For those who have group 3, 2667.10 rubles per month are provided. The presence of a dependent increases this amount to 4445.16 rubles. The more dependents, the higher the pension (6223.22 rubles and 8001.28 rubles - the latter value is issued for three dependents).
Social disability pension
Assign such a pension to citizens of the Russian Federation who are considered disabled.
Indexation of pensions and disability payments in 2019
If we talk about the current period, social pensions increased by 2%, while insurance increased by 7.05%. As for social payments, the growth here is 4.3%. The average disability pension reached 9.1 thousand rubles. In 2018, 2.9% was added to pension payments, and the indexation of social funds reached 2.5%.
More information about disability benefits
Disabled people have the opportunity to use a set of social services (we are talking about a social package or NSI). But these services are also offered in the form of monetary compensation, which has also changed upwards since February 1, 2019. In particular, they give:
For medicines 863.75 rubles;
For a ticket to the sanatorium 133.61 rubles;
For travel to the sanatorium (by train, bus, train, plane) 124.05 rubles.
In general, this year it is equal to 1121.41 rubles.
Among other things, social security employees, if necessary, can provide the following services:
Care of a person with disabilities and catering;
Assistance in obtaining legal, medical, socio-psychological and other types of assistance (for example, in kind, related to employment, funerals, etc.).
Free of charge to receive this or that support is entitled:
Disabled persons whose relatives, due to objective reasons, are not able to take care of them, etc. (at the same time, the pension of the recipient of services with all supplements must be less than the subsistence level);
Persons with disabilities living in a family with a total income below the minimum wage established in the region.
Partial (incomplete) payment for services is provided if the disabled person has:
Pension (plus allowances), amounting to 100-150% of the subsistence minimum in force within the region;
Relatives who are not able to take care of the needy, and the amount of pensions of these citizens with allowances is also equal to 100-150% of the regional minimum;
A family with an average per capita income not exceeding 100-150% of the minimum wage accrued for living in a particular region.
Benefits for people with disabilities in the field of education
Holders of 1 and 2 disability groups can enter any MOU, VPO and SPO out of competition. At the same time, any disabled person has the right to a scholarship.
Benefits related to spa treatment
Going to a sanatorium together with a disabled person of the 1st group, the accompanying person (with the approval of the social security) is provided with a ticket (free of charge). He is also provided with travel on the conditions applicable to a person with disabilities. It is noteworthy that, in general, non-working people with disabilities do not pay for travel and recreation in a sanatorium, while those who work receive a 50% discount.
Benefits for medicines
Disabled people of the 2nd group who are not employed and persons with disabilities (group 1) receive prescription drugs free of charge (there is an approved list). Having group 2 and work, or group 3 (in the absence of activity), you can claim a deduction for half the cost of a certain remedy prescribed by a doctor.
Transport benefits for disabled pensioners
City passenger transport transports children with disabilities and those who care for them on preferential terms. The disabled are also included in this group. Both can purchase a ticket at a special reduced price, which is set by the authorities in each region.
Social benefits for the disabled
Recall that in 2005 the social. benefits have been replaced by, that is, monthly cash payments provided for both disabled children, the disabled, and veterans. The former prisoners of the fascist camps and those who suffered from radiation are also marked here.
3782.94 rubles (1 disability group);
2701.67 rubles (disabled children and group 2);
2162.51 rubles (for group 3);
Privileges of Disabled Persons in Civil and Family Law
Experts emphasize that people with disabilities should not be discriminated against in terms of salary and other significant points. Disabled people of groups 2 and 1 should work no more than 35 hours a week (unless they agree to other conditions). At the same time, wages are kept in full.
Plus, every year a disabled person has the right to rest for 30 days (no less if we assume that the working week is six days). An employee can work beyond the agreed time, at night or on weekends, with his consent and agreement with the employer, if there is no direct prohibition in medical recommendations (here it is worth focusing on the IPR).
Benefits under housing law
Families raising children with disabilities, as well as adults with disabilities, receive a discount of at least 50% on the rent for an apartment, if we are talking about a house owned by a public or municipal housing stock. Utilities are paid at the same discount (the housing stock is not important here).
In addition, disabled people and families with unhealthy children have the right to receive a piece of land in the first place. The territory is intended for the construction of individual housing, gardening, dacha and subsidiary farming. It should be noted that the site, according to the Decree of the President, should be a place suitable for the life of a disabled person.
Plus, it is important to take into account some of the requirements regarding the sale and purchase of residential premises and payment for services. For example, a disabled person can live in an alienated house (premises) all his life or apply for another space that meets the requirements of housing legislation. In addition, the disabled person has the right to receive the required assistance, food and material components.
tax incentives
Insurance premiums
Individual entrepreneurs and legal entities with individual entrepreneurs (we are talking about organizations) have the opportunity in the first case to pay 20.2% for a disabled person (until 2012), and in the second - 27.1% (since 2013). These contributions are mandatory, but not every Pension Fund agrees with such values.
Contributions for injuries
In relation to the heads of organizations, if necessary, a benefit is applied on payments that are accrued to employees with disabilities of groups 1, 2 or 3. From the salary of such an employee, 60% of the insurance rate should be paid (this is indicated by articles 1 and 2 of the Federal Law of July 21, 2007 N 186-FZ). It is worth knowing that under a civil law contract, payments when calculating the amount of contributions are taken into account only in accordance with the clauses of the concluded contract (see paragraph 4, clause 1, article 5 of the above-mentioned Federal Law of July 24, 1998 N 125-FZ “On Compulsory Social Insurance from industrial accidents and occupational diseases).
As for the tax on property and land owned by organizations, paragraph 3 of Article 381 and paragraph 5 of Article 395 of the Tax Code, these taxes are not paid:
Public organizations of the disabled, where the latter are at least 80%;
Organizations with an authorized capital consisting of 100% of the contributions made by the institutions indicated in the previous paragraph (at the same time, there must be at least 50% of employees with disabilities, and their share in the payroll is 25% or more);
Organizations owned by societies of the disabled.
income tax
Focusing on paragraph 1 and subparagraph 38 in Article 264 of the Tax Code, other expenses can include those incurred by taxpaying organizations that have provided work to disabled people and provide them with social protection.
But for this, half (or more) of the employees must be with a disability, and on average, from the total salary, at least 25% must be spent on paying for their activities.
We emphasize that disabled people working under civil law contracts (for example, contracts) or part-time jobs cannot be considered together with other employees who have a group.
Plus, the stipulated paragraph gives an idea of the goals of social protection for people with disabilities. This includes:
Changing the protection and working conditions for the better;
Preservation and creation of jobs for people with disabilities, including those who work at home or need special equipment (installation and purchase of the latter are not excluded);
Training and employment of disabled people;
Repair, as well as the creation of prosthetic products;
Purchase and maintenance of rehabilitation equipment (including the purchase of guide dogs);
Sanatorium and resort services for people with disabilities and their accompanying persons (important for children with disabilities and those with group 1);
Protection of the rights and interests of citizens with health problems;
Organization of various events that promote the integration of persons with disabilities into society;
Ensuring equal opportunities with healthy people (the same applies to support);
Directing contributions to organizations for the disabled, etc.
Labor costs
An employer who employs a disabled person is provided with the opportunity to increase labor costs. Paragraph 23 of Article 255 of the Tax Code informs that the costs of additional payments to citizens with disabilities are included in labor costs, which are taken into account when determining taxable income.
For example, if a disabled person who has been exposed to radiation is transferred to another position with a lower salary than he had before, he has the right to receive an additional payment (clause 4, article 14 of the Federal Law of May 15, 1991 N 1244-1 “On the social protection of citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant").
personal income tax
There is a tax deduction of 3,000 rubles from the salary if we are talking about disabled veterans of the Second World War, shell-shocked, crippled or wounded (groups 1, 2, 3) during the defense of the Russian Federation or the USSR. And here is the amount of 500r. per month is provided for the disabled of the first two categories (2 or 1) and from childhood. childhood; disabled people of groups I and II.
VAT is not subject to:
Vouchers to health-improving and sanatorium-resort institutions (not counting tourist ones), if they were bought with money left after the employer paid income tax (clause 9, article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
Amounts involved in the purchase of technical, rehabilitation and other assistance for the disabled (for example, hearing aids);
Financial assistance in the amount of 4,000 rubles issued by the employer to disabled pensioners (clause 28, article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation);
Reimbursed for a person with disabilities the cost of medicines prescribed by a doctor (no more than 4,000 rubles, about this in paragraph 28 of article 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Transport tax
The rate per horsepower for the disabled and pensioners is reduced by half if they themselves purchased a passenger vehicle with an engine power of up to 150 hp in general. Also, in some regions, under these conditions, you can not pay this tax at all (if the vehicle belongs to a disabled person of groups 1, 2 or a veteran of the Second World War).
Land tax
Disabled since childhood, the Great Patriotic War and holders of a life-long 1 or 2 group (if the conclusion does not limit labor activity and was issued before January 1, 2004), the amount not taxed on their own land has been reduced by 10,000 rubles.
Personal property tax
Persons with disabilities from childhood, as well as those who have groups 1 and 2, are exempted from paying it.
State Duties
With disability groups 1 and 2, you can not pay a fee by filing a property claim with an amount of damage of less than a million rubles. The same is true for the state duty "for applying to the courts of general jurisdiction." A 50% discount is valid for people with disabilities of categories 1 and 2 for any notary services.
A disabled person is a person with physical, mental and other limitations that interfere with his normal life. Disability of the first group is set for two years and then a re-examination is prescribed.
People with this group have the most severe state of health and the state is trying to support them with additional material payments and privileges.
Who applies
There are certain criteria used to assign disability groups.
According to them, the following citizens belong to the first:
- incapable of self-service and fulfillment of physiological needs without outside help;
- not having the ability to move independently, to keep balance when changing the position of the body;

- incapable of adequate perception of themselves in the world around them;
- not controlling their own behavior, not seeing the generally accepted framework;
