Legal framework (latest version of Bill 181)

Small changes were made to it periodically. The document currently contains the following chapters:

Significant changes have not been made over the entire period, but regular minor amendments made through other Federal laws make the lives of disabled people better every year.

Main characteristics of the Federal Law on the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities in the Russian Federation

Like any other legal act, the law on the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities in the Russian Federation has its own characteristics.

Let's take a closer look at the main ones:

The legislative act fully reflects the rights of people with disabilities And also the people who care for them
The text of the document contains verbatim information about How can a citizen with serious illnesses or injuries receive a disability category?
In case of unjustified actions against a disabled person You can always enlist the support of a lawyer and refer to this law
Based on legislation Citizens can apply for the benefits and privileges they are entitled to from the state
The text of the document reveals in detail the importance of every citizen of the Russian Federation Including persons with disabilities
Referring to this law and Labor Code RF Every citizen with health limitations has the right to claim simplified working conditions
Based on this Federal legislation Local authorities are making additional comfortable conditions for people with disabilities

This document could take a long time to describe. But the most important thing that should be noted about the adopted normative act is that it reveals in detail the essence of the problem of limited human capabilities.

Rehabilitation rules

For citizens with disabilities, rehabilitation remains the main meaning in life. For them, this is hope for a speedy return to normal life.

As part of this bill, recovery centers have been created and continue to be created in each region, which will allow persons with disabilities to quickly return to life.

Additionally, based on the text of this law, every disabled person has the right to make an annual trip to a rehabilitation sanatorium, where specialists will work with him.

There are a number rehabilitation rules for disabled people:

  • there are a number of rehabilitation measures at the federal level;
  • only government agencies approve means and equipment for carrying out restoration or preventive measures;
  • the entire rehabilitation program for a person with disabilities provided by the state is available absolutely free of charge.

Currently, all aspects related to restoration programs, as well as the attitude towards the objects where this is carried out, are receiving close attention from state commissions. It is not acceptable for a person with a disability to be treated negligently.

Providing citizens with housing

Another problem that is acutely addressed in this legislative act is the allocation of housing to those in need and, if necessary, improvement of living conditions.

Many disabled people currently do not have their own living space, or it is in disrepair.

According to the regulatory legal act, local authorities When such circumstances arise, the authorities must do everything necessary to eliminate this controversial issue.

As a rule, needy persons with disabilities are allocated rooms in dormitories; more rarely, they can apply for an apartment or a private house.

If the housing is in disrepair, then it is first decided to allocate funds for major repairs or to relocate the disabled person. The same applies to families with children with disabilities.

Features of working conditions

Persons who have health problems can also find official employment, but there is a slight difference in the groups:

  • the first category is recognized as completely disabled;
  • the second group is recognized as partially working;
  • the third category has only minor restrictions.

An additional difference between the groups is that the first does not have to undergo annual confirmation of their disability, unlike the second and third, who have to undergo annual medical commission to confirm the category of disability.

Let us consider in more detail the features of the workplace, which should officially be created for a person who has a disability:

  1. Shortened working hours.
  2. Availability of additional days off.
  3. Possibility to take a vacation at any time.
  4. Workplace in mandatory must be equipped to fit the employee's limitations.
  5. Additionally, at the workplace of a disabled person there should be a notification about the citizen’s health limitations.

If all this is missing, then the disabled person will not be officially employed, since any labor inspection will be forced to impose a ban on labor activity citizen, and his leader to be fined.

Today, a separate layer of society lives on the territory of the Russian Federation - people with disabilities (disabled people), while there are citizens with health problems, both from early childhood and in adulthood.

President

Russian Federation

Moscow, Kremlin

From January 1, 2016, the main provisions of Law 419 Federal Law (dated December 1, 2014) on the social protection of such segments of the population as disabled people, that is, those with certain limitations (physical or mental, suffered as a result of illness, injury, congenital) come into force. . This made it possible to create the necessary legal framework to create a comfortable, accessible environment people with disabilities.

Key points of Federal Law 419: 4 main steps in 2016

New law on disabled people in 2016 became a more advanced continuation of Federal Law 181, which until this year had been in force for about 15 years (it was adopted on November 24, 1995) and no longer fully met the real conditions and needs of citizens with disabilities functional disorders, limitation of capabilities. The new law offers additional guarantees and more opportunities, introduces new concepts (for example, habilitation), and defines the conditions for obtaining disability.

Changes in the procedure for establishing disability

The new Law on Persons with Disabilities establishes new approach in the definition of disability. According to statistics, at the beginning of 2015 there were approximately 13 million disabled people in Russia, of which 605 thousand were children. Previously, two concepts were used to establish categories and groups for children: disability, degree of functional disorders. But starting from this year, the child is simply recognized as disabled, and then an individual rehabilitation or habilitation program is prescribed.

The group is assigned depending on the severity of functional impairments and their persistence, that is, an objective assessment is used to establish (in accordance with Section III of the new Federal Law), which is easily confirmed during a medical examination. This system will be used to establish disability not only in children, but also in adults, making the recovery program truly effective.

New concept of “habilitation” and individual programs

The enacted Law on Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities also proposes a new concept not previously used - habilitation. In contrast to the concept of restoring lost abilities, habilitation involves the formation of abilities and skills for social, professional and everyday activities, which the patient does not have for a number of reasons. Drawing up individual programs based on this new concept makes it possible to eliminate/compensate for existing restrictions and normal integration of the patient into society.

Individual programs are used as tools following methods: spa treatment, reconstructive surgery, prosthetics, social or medical adaptation, exercise therapy, etc. Research shows that habilitation is most often needed for children with intellectual disabilities. This allows not only to develop the necessary everyday and social skills, but also to provide people with disabilities with normal life activities.

Drawing up individual programs, identifying medical institutions that provide such services, and maintaining reports on the activities provided are regulated by Art. 1 clause 2, art. 5, clause 10 of Federal Law 419.

Federal Register

According to Art. 5, paragraph 5 of the new law, from 2016, registers will be compiled with information about all citizens with disabilities or functional impairments, recommendations for habilitation, rehabilitation, social protection measures taken, including funds paid. Operator new system The Ministry of Labor will speak, which will receive all the necessary information from medical organizations and executive and regional authorities. What are the benefits of implementing this program?
