Pension payments

The state pays financial support to veterans in the amount that is due according to their individual status in 2019:

The amount of payments to veterans is specified in Article 23.1 of Federal Law No. 5 “On Veterans”. The amount is indexed annually on February 1 by the inflation coefficient approved by the state.

Medical preferences

Veterans of military operations during the Second World War can count on annual treatment at the sanatorium. This is only possible as prescribed by the attending physician. The state pays for travel to the sanatorium and all medications prescribed by the doctor.

Disabled people and WWII veterans are served by social services out of turn. workers make house calls and are admitted to nursing homes.

The state provides the veteran with prosthetics free of charge. But this does not apply to expensive dental prosthetics, which are done in private clinics or offices.

Tax relief

WWII veterans in Russia are also provided with tax benefits:

1. Reduction of land tax by 10 thousand rubles. If a citizen does not have a plot where such a payment amount would be established, then he is exempt from paying tax.
2. Exemption from paying fees for going to court, the registry office, or a notary.
3. Working disabled people receive a tax deduction of 3 thousand rubles.
4. Exemption from property tax.
5. Free transport or discounts on travel in some regions.

Veterans receive these benefits upon receipt of their certificate. It is advisable to clarify the list of regional programs immediately when completing the documents. In a number of regions, local authorities provide, for example, monetary compensation to those veterans who do not use public transport.

What difference does it make when the certificate is issued - in January or April?

The housing certificate is valid only for 9 months. During this time, you need to collect documents, send them to the bank for verification and find an apartment. If the transaction cannot be completed within 9 months, the certificate will be canceled and the account will be closed. The documents will have to be collected again.

Sometimes the certificate was officially signed in April, but was actually issued in June. While the bank was checking documents and opening an account, autumn was coming. Then there were negotiations with the agency, the season was approaching, and housing prices rose.

If the certificate is issued in January-February, housing can be purchased in the summer, when developers reduce prices due to holidays and falling demand. There will still be time for renovations, and by the new year it’s realistic to move into a new apartment.

If certificates begin to be issued earlier, the developers will receive money just in time for the active construction season. They will direct them to new projects and the completion of houses in which ordinary citizens buy apartments at their own expense.

Somewhere, frozen construction will continue, five hundred people will not be left without work, and one hundred families of shareholders will receive their apartments on time.
