Moscow Kremlin

Russia has ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In this regard, on January 1, 2018, a federal law came into force establishing the accessibility of various facilities and services for people with disabilities. At the request of our readers, we publish what changes will occur in the lives of people with disabilities.

From January 1, 2018, disabled people have the right to be accompanied

To begin with, we note that Federal Law No. 419-FZ “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation in Connection with the Ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities” was adopted on December 1, 2014, but entered into force on January 1, 2018. And that is not in full. Some of its articles will come into effect on July 1, 2017, and some on January 1, 2018. It amends almost all regulatory legal acts in terms of ensuring that persons with disabilities can use services in all spheres of life. First of all, amendments were made to the Federal Law No. 181-FZ “On the Social Protection of the Disabled in the Russian Federation”.

Article No. 15 of this law just speaks of the unimpeded access of disabled people to social, engineering and transport infrastructure facilities.

Pharmacies, laundries, hairdressers and any other organizations should ensure that disabled people can use their services.

But here it must be borne in mind that it is often simply impossible to equip a building with ramps or special lifts for the disabled. The legislator provided that in this case, organizations must agree with the societies of the disabled on other ways of providing services to the disabled. This can be home delivery of goods, cooperation with social workers who will purchase goods for a disabled person, transportation of a person to a building, provision of services by mail or the Internet, etc. This work, by the way, has already been partially organized in the region. Disabled people can always contact the social taxi service.

Are these services free?

It does not follow from the law that all disabled people should be provided with free transportation to the place they need. The document provides only for the provision of the opportunity to use the services of transport.

Who will take care of the handicapped?

Both social workers and service workers. The law does not stipulate that each disabled person will be “assigned” an escort. This is a service that will be provided as part of the social security of the disabled.

Let's say a disabled person wants to buy medicine at a pharmacy near the house, but there is no ramp. What should he do? By law, from January 1, he must be provided with a service.

If a disabled person is served by a social worker, then the social worker will take care of the purchase and delivery of medicines. If a disabled person is not served at home by a social worker, he can apply for help from social security or require pharmacy workers to provide him with the necessary assistance.

What actions can disabled people expect from social protection in such a situation?

A social worker should be assigned. If we consider this situation with a pharmacy, the social worker will purchase the necessary medicines and take them home. But in the future, the mechanism that is provided for should work, that is, each pharmacy should provide the disabled with the opportunity to receive services from them.

In the future, administrative liability will be introduced for organizations that do not comply with the law. That is, if a disabled person informs us that he was not provided with a certain service due to lack of access to the organization, the institution may be fined.

The law says that only newly commissioned buildings will be equipped with ramps. But at the same time, the owners of existing facilities are still required to take measures to ensure access. Let's explain this provision of the law.

Indeed, from this year, any newly introduced objects must meet the requirements for accessibility for people with limited mobility.

Should there be ramps everywhere?

Ramps, lifts, widened openings, etc. As regards facilities already in operation, if they cannot be retrofitted, it must be agreed with the associations of the disabled that only partial or conditional accessibility can be achieved.

Who is responsible for the fact that ramps are not installed in high-rise buildings?

The management company that maintains this house. The problem of installing ramps in apartment buildings is very serious for the following reason: the ramp is part of the capital construction. In most houses, the bulk of the apartments are privatized, therefore, in order to obtain permission to install a ramp or lifts, the consent of the residents is required. Many do not give it: someone does not agree with the installation of ramps, believing that they will interfere with the exit from the entrance.

Changes in the procedure for granting housing benefits to persons with disabilities

We have brought regional legislation in line with the federal one. Taking into account the fact that all benefits for disabled people to pay for the maintenance of housing and housing and communal services are paid at the expense of federal funds, they are directly regulated by Federal Law 181 on the social protection of disabled people.

181 of the law clearly states that disabled people living in state and municipal housing stock have a 50% housing allowance.

That is, those who live in a privatized, purchased or donated apartment do not have this benefit. And the second point - according to the regional legislation, the benefit was extended to all family members of a disabled person, while according to the federal legislation, the payment is made specifically to the disabled person - without taking into account the family members who live with him.

Some residents are outraged by this. I would like them to understand that these benefits are paid from federal funds. No savings to speak of!

Benefits for major repairs

By the way, many disabled people are at the same time labor veterans. They have the right to choose which category to provide for this benefit: to receive it as a disabled person or as a labor veteran. In the latter case, they will receive benefits on the same terms.

The new law also provides for a 50% discount on capital repairs for people over 75 years old.

This norm was provided for by the Federal Law of December 29, 2015 No. 399-FZ:

50% discount on overhaul for disabled people of 1-2 groups and families with a disabled child. This benefit is effective January 1st.

The law speaks of the right of the region to establish a benefit for people over 75 years old - a 50% discount on capital repairs, and for those over 80 years old - a 100% discount. It is the right of each region of our country to establish a benefit or not.

Changes and amendments

This Federal Law defines the state policy in the field of social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation, the purpose of which is to provide disabled people with equal opportunities with other citizens in exercising civil, economic, political and other rights and freedoms provided for by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, as well as in accordance with generally recognized principles and norms of international law and international treaties of the Russian Federation.
