Dependents and children of combatants are entitled to the following benefits (Article 21 of the law):
1) pension benefits;
2) an advantage when joining housing, housing-construction, garage cooperatives, horticultural, gardening and dacha associations;
3) providing, at the expense of the state, housing for family members of veterans who were registered as needing improved housing conditions before January 1, 2005;

Benefits for family members of killed (deceased) disabled combat veterans apply to family members of military personnel, private and commanding personnel of internal affairs bodies, State Border Guard Service, institutions and bodies of the penal system and state security bodies, who died in service or in captivity, who were declared missing in combat areas, since their exclusion from the lists of military units. Benefits also apply to family members of those killed in the Second World War from among the personnel of self-defense groups of facility and emergency teams of local air defense, as well as family members of deceased workers of Leningrad hospitals and clinics.
In addition to federal benefits, there are also regional ones. Regional beneficiaries: labor veterans, military veterans, home front workers, victims of political repression - have the right to apply for monthly benefits cash payments in exchange for the unrealizable right to free travel in transport: urban and suburban. Moreover, citizens can refuse the right to free travel both in both categories of transport, and in one of them. But only regional benefit recipients have the right to replace benefits in kind with cash compensation, federal beneficiaries it is not distributed.
To find out about the procedure for providing benefits in your region, contact your local administration with a request.
Many people are interested in whether benefits are provided to combatants, as well as war veterans? If Russia provides some kind of bonuses from the state, what exactly? What can a military man and his family count on? What conditions must be met? To understand all this, it is enough to study the current legislation of the Russian Federation well. Citizens in Russia can receive many benefits. And you don’t have to be a pensioner to do this. It is enough to have a certain status. Are combatants and war veterans considered beneficiaries?
Are they entitled to benefits?
Veterans are people who in Russia have their own bonuses, so combat veterans are 100% beneficiaries. They will receive certain support from the state for their special status. The families of such people will not remain in the shadows either. They will also receive some bonuses.
But what about the direct participants in the hostilities? In fact, they are also provided with benefits to one degree or another. Moreover, veterans and participants, as a rule, are provided with approximately the same opportunities. Families of military personnel, especially widows, are applicants for certain benefits in the Russian Federation. But to obtain and preserve them, approved rules must be followed.
What benefits are given to combatants? What are they entitled to and are there any specifics that should be taken into account first?
Free lands
The first thing that attracts many is the so-called free land. Some point out that among all the benefits provided, there is an opportunity that allows you to get a plot to build a house absolutely free of charge. And free of charge.
This statement is not entirely correct. What benefits are given to combatants? Previously, it was possible to obtain land ownership from the state without any problems. The only exceptions were areas in Moscow and St. Petersburg. But due to some changes, combatants and their families lost the opportunity free receipt plot. Since 2005, citizens can acquire land on a general basis - by purchasing it from the municipality, as well as by participating in auctions.
There are exceptions
But don't despair. Benefits for combatants are still provided for obtaining land for building a house. There are certain categories of veterans who have reserved this right. These are holders of the Order of Glory, as well as Heroes of the Russian Federation or the USSR.
And we can’t stop there. Only in 2005 did citizens lose the opportunity to register land plots as their property if they had the status of a combat veteran or participant thereof. People who queued up for the issuance of land before the specified period reserve this right. That is, if citizens registered land before 2005, but their turn has not yet come, the plot will be issued. And on a free basis. Therefore, this benefit has been partially retained. Not everyone can count on it, but it does happen.
Who is eligible
Before studying the rest of the bonuses provided by the state, you should figure out who can even be called a veteran of combat operations or a participant in them. What categories of people belong to this layer of society?
There is a separate military action." It clearly regulates who exactly is called a veteran or participant in combat operations and has the right to a certain list of additional opportunities:
- Military personnel (including those transferred to the reserve or retired) who were called up to At the same time, it is important: people had to take part in certain military operations while performing duties on the territory of the USSR or the Russian Federation.
- Military personnel and police chiefs. To receive benefits, these categories of persons had to participate in mine clearance activities in the USSR in the period 05/10/1945-12/31/1951. This also includes those who destroyed mines before 1957.
- Citizens who served or participated to one degree or another in military operations in Afghanistan, as well as in the Chechen Republic.
- People serving Russian military units on the territory of foreign states.
- Persons who worked in Afghanistan from 1979 (December) to 1989 (December). At the same time, military personnel must serve a certain period of time or be dismissed early for compelling reasons.
- In 2016, combat participants and veterans are considered to be military personnel who were involved in the operation in Syria.
There is nothing complicated. Families of the previously listed categories of citizens are families of military personnel. They also have certain benefits. But what can these persons count on? What bonuses from the state are they entitled to legally?
Pensions
For example, they will be assigned increased pension. Benefits for children of combatants, widows and veterans themselves are usually provided mainly in the form of cash payments. If we are talking about a direct participant, then he has the right to receive a special pension. She doesn't need to reach retirement age.
The same, as already mentioned, is due to the families of military personnel. For example, widows or children. They will receive cash from the state, but only if the participant in the hostilities died. This is perhaps the most common benefit.
Important: the pension for the wife of a serviceman who participated in hostilities may be terminated. This will happen if the woman enters into a new marriage. Until this point, she is assigned the right to receive financial support from the state. Again, the recipient does not need to be of retirement age. After all, according to the rules established in Russia, you can only claim one pension payment. The citizen himself chooses one or another option.
Regarding land
Despite the fact that citizens were deprived of the opportunity to receive a plot of land free of charge, military veterans still had one right in relation to land. We are talking about joining various garden communities and cooperatives. The fact is that veterans and members have priority rights to this.
That is, first of all, housing, gardening and dacha cooperatives will accept participants and combat veterans. A small one, but still a bonus. Some people will find it extremely useful. Although this is far from the most common and favorite benefit. What else is due to the category of citizens being studied? What features are they entitled to?
Health care
The same benefits are provided to participants in combat operations in Afghanistan, as to everyone else. For example, special attention is paid to the medical field. Why? There are a number of benefits that may be of interest to the population.
For example, a participant or veteran of combat operations is assigned the right to medical care where citizens were observed before retirement. And we are talking about free help. No one is capable of collecting or requesting money from veterans or combat veterans.
Also, these categories of persons have every right for preferential service. They must be allowed through without queuing. Typically, such a bonus is provided not only in public, but also in private clinics. Veterans and combatants, if they have the appropriate ID, should be served in the front row.
But that's not all! What benefits are provided to combatants in the field of medicine? The next opportunity that is offered to the population is payment for any prostheses and rehabilitation equipment. There is only one exception when it comes to teeth. Dentures are not paid for by the state. However, there are certain regions in which regional benefits have been established for them.
Transport
In Russia there are a lot of opportunities that are associated with certain beneficiaries. What can a veteran or combat veteran qualify for? The 2015-2016 benefits include some bonuses regarding transport.
The fact is that in most regions of the Russian Federation free travel is provided for the category of people under study. Or you can buy a ticket at a discount. Typically, this benefit is not available to the families of military personnel. But a direct participant in public transport can ride for free. It is recommended to find out exact information about this in each region separately.
We can say for sure that route and regular private taxis do not provide any travel benefits. This rule applies throughout Russia. Therefore, you should not expect that you will be able to travel for free using the specified transport if you have the status of a war participant.
Taxes
More important point is the payment of taxes. As a rule, no one can be exempted from them. But at the same time, tax benefits are given to combatants. Which ones exactly?
Firstly, when officially employed, you can do the so-called tax deduction. For ordinary participants it is 500 rubles, for disabled people - 3000. It allows you to reduce the amount of income tax paid.
You should also pay attention to the fact that these categories of persons are completely exempt from property penalties. This means that annual payments in the form of taxes for this or that property owned by a citizen will not have to be paid.
Provided for combatants. The fact is that often they are simply released from it. Or citizens pay transport tax with a large discount - up to 90%. Sometimes even more. It all depends on the region of residence.
Benefits for participants in ATO combat operations or any other operations do not end with the above list. In the Russian Federation, no one is exempt from land tax. Therefore, you should pay attention to it. Veterans and war participants are offered to reduce the amount of land tax they pay. How exactly? Citizens are entitled to a kind of deduction equal to 10,000 rubles. The value of the land is reduced by this amount when calculating the tax. Accordingly, the final payment also becomes smaller.
Housing
Russia offers various benefits to combatants. And in different areas. Great attention is paid to the so-called housing bonuses. What exactly are we talking about?
For example, these categories of citizens (as well as all those living with a veteran or war participant) are able to apply for the installation of a home telephone out of turn. And on a completely free basis.
There are also utility benefits. Participants in hostilities, as well as their families (if they live together), are paid half of the invoices received. That is, citizens must pay only 50% of the total amount monthly for utilities.
For employed people
What else? Employed combat veterans are entitled to some job-related benefits. Which ones exactly? There aren't that many of them. In practice, rarely anyone knows about them. Benefits for combatants are provided if they have the appropriate certificate. This fact must be taken into account. Otherwise, the employer has the right to refuse bonuses.
On this moment in Russia, veterans and war participants have the right:
- Take paid leave in accordance with the rules established in the Russian Federation. But at the same time, the time of legal rest is chosen by the beneficiary. While regular employees go on vacation on schedule.
- Also, the employer pays for advanced training courses, trains the employee and provides him with appropriate education, if it is needed to perform certain duties.
There are no more special rules. Otherwise, combatants are the same employees as everyone else.
For families
What about military families? After all, under certain circumstances, they are also entitled to certain opportunities, as well as support from the state. What benefits are provided to the families of combatants in 2016?
Among the most common are:
- part payment funeral services for the funeral of a veteran/war participant;
- 50% discount on utility bills;
- financial support in case of death of a military man.
The first point requires special attention. The fact is that payment for funeral services only includes the burial itself, transporting the body to the place of future burial and making a monument. No further benefits are provided to the families of combatants in this area. The state does not pay for the funeral in full.
Widows
Widows of military personnel who had the status of a combat participant or veteran require special attention. Moreover, as already mentioned, we are not necessarily talking about a pensioner. What benefits are available to widows of combatants? There are not many of them, but they still exist. The main thing is not to remarry, otherwise bonuses from the state will be lost.
What are the rights of wives of combatants? The Law “On Veterans” clearly establishes the following list:
- discount on utilities and rent;
- preferential right to join cooperatives and communities;
- payment of pensions in the amounts established by law;
- service (primarily) in medical institutions to which the deceased spouse was attached;
- right to social assistance at home out of turn;
- advantage when admitted to nursing homes and boarding schools.
These are the benefits that widows of combatants were entitled to in 2015-2016. There are no plans to cancel them yet. To take advantage of certain opportunities, you will have to present appropriate evidence. For example, submit an application of the established form to the Pension Fund for the assignment of a pension. And as proof, attach to the document an identification of a veteran/war participant, as well as a marriage certificate.
