A certificate of war veterans. The War Veterans Act

How can I get a certificate of war veterans? What is required for this? What rights can this document provide to this or that person? That benefits interest many. After all, in Russia a variety of bonuses are granted for certain services, or for any special status. And the veterans of military operations are just those who are the beneficiaries. There is even a separate law, which prescribes what benefits and opportunities are provided to such a category of persons. What should I look for first?

Who has the right

So, who can get the study ID. After all, not everyone has such an opportunity, only some categories of persons have the right to a special status of a veteran. The law "On Veterans of Hostilities" indicates that the following citizens can qualify for the title:

1. Servicemen or persons liable for military service who either serve, or are fired, or have resigned. If necessary, these citizens should take part in hostilities.
2. Employees of the department of internal affairs or authorities of the USSR. As in the past case, these persons are assigned the performance of military duties.
3. The military, who were involved in the clearance of the territory of the USSR and other countries from May 10, 1945 to December 31, 1951.
4. Citizens who participated in subversive operations conducted before the end of 1957.
5. Military men who served in automobile battalions. Only those units that were sent to Afghanistan during the military operations in the region are taken into consideration.
6. A certificate of war veterans can be obtained by those who flew from the territory of the USSR to Afghanistan during the period of military operations.
7. People engaged in servicing military units (Soviet or Russian) that are located outside the country, in the territories of foreign states. To obtain the status of a veteran, such citizens had to get injuries or concussions.
8. Military, who received orders and medals of the USSR or the Russian Federation. Awards should be bound without fail with hostilities.
9. Working in Afghanistan from 1979 (December) to 1989 (the same month).

All these categories of persons can obtain a certificate of a combatant. To do this, you just need to submit some documents to these or other bodies. But more about this later. To begin with, it is necessary to understand what kind of benefits these citizens can expect.

Belonging to the country

Who else can be granted certain benefits? The above-mentioned categories of persons by whom should they appear in order to receive bonuses of this or that type in Russia? The Law on Veterans of Hostilities indicates that special privileges from the state can be claimed:

• Foreigners who live permanently in the Russian Federation;
• Citizens of the country;
• People without citizenship living in Russia.

But the rights to the benefits that foreigners and persons with a lack of citizenship, temporarily residing or residing in the Russian Federation can possess, are regulated by international treaties. Therefore, these categories are not too interested in the population.

Earth

Some argue that veterans are entitled to free land. In other words, that they are the first applicants for obtaining a site in one or another locality. Extradition is carried out throughout Russia, with the exception of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Such rules were in force some time ago.

And what can a veteran of the fighting do now? The land is no longer provided free of charge. This privilege was abolished in 2005. Since then, the category of persons studied has the right to receive land on a general basis. What does it mean?

A war veteran is a land plot or should be redeemed, as many citizens do, or stand in line for receipt for one reason or another. For example, as a needy family. But the veteran's status here does not play a special role.

There is one minor exception - the heroes of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation, as well as the Knights of the Order of Glory can still get free land. Also this rule applies to those who already stood in line in 2005. For these categories of persons, land benefits remain. The rest, as already mentioned, acquire plots for the construction of the house on general terms.

Pensions

The status of a participant in hostilities offers the population many bonuses. Enumerate all very long, so you should pay attention only to the main points that are important for every person. The thing is that the state of the Russian Federation pays extra payments and pensions for the status of veterans.

To do this, it is enough to apply to the Pension Fund of Russia with a certificate and some list of documents. Then the citizen will be credited with additional funds. A small, but still support the population.

Taxes

A veteran (participant) of military operations in the territory of the Russian Federation can apply for tax benefits. Another bonus from the state, which is extremely useful. After all, taxes are the basic payments that citizens transfer to the government.

What bonuses are provided? For example, there is a transport tax. Veterans of military operations are given privileges regarding him. The basic rules can be regulated at the regional level, but often these people simply do not need to pay this payment. Either a veteran is required to pay tax on transport at a discount of up to 90%. Most often there is just the first alignment.

Also veterans of military operations (in Chechnya and not only) are completely exempted from payment of property taxes. Another good news, which allows these citizens not to think about payments for the existing property.

But no one in Russia is exempt from land tax. The thing is that this payment is made by everyone, but veterans are granted certain benefits and bonuses. Which ones? The tax base is reduced by 10,000 rubles. This allows you to significantly reduce the total amount due for payment. It is not possible to completely free a veteran or a participant in military operations from land tax, this step violates the established laws in the country.

Another nuance is the tax deduction that is placed on the category of persons under study. The income taxable with income tax has a deduction of 500 rubles. If a citizen receives a disability, then this amount increases. To what size? It increases 6-fold and is 3,000 rubles.

Medicine

Every participant in the fighting in Afghanistan, as well as just the corresponding veteran has special rights in medicine. For example, for free assistance in medical institutions, to which people were attached before retirement. Or rather, until the time when you can go on a well-deserved rest.

Also, veterans are fully entitled to priority medical care. These people should be allowed out of the queue for medical care. This applies to queues in the registry, and direct assistance in certain institutions.

Another point - the certification of a participant in combat operations makes it possible to get free dentures and implants free of charge. If a veteran has already acquired an artificial limb, such a person will be paid monetary compensation within the amount paid earlier.

About housing

But on this variety of bonuses do not end. There are several other categories in which veterans are eligible for benefits. For example, in relation to housing. About the changes in relation to the land has already been said. Nevertheless, other benefits remained for the studied category of citizens.

It is about paying utility bills. In accordance with the rules established in Russia, veterans of military operations (and participants, among others) pay utility bills. But not in full size. The specified category of persons is entitled to only 50% discount. This bonus can also be received by those members of the family who live with the beneficiaries.

What else does the war veteran certify? Privileges given to citizens are diverse. In addition to utility payments, there are a few more moments that please the population. It's all about the fact that the specified population should queue up a home phone, and connect it to the network.

Get the land on a free basis for the status of the veteran will not work. Nevertheless, the participants of military operations retained the pre-emptive rights to join various co-operatives and communities. For example, country or horticultural.

Other

A participant in hostilities, as well as a veteran, has the right to other benefits and bonuses from the state. For example, if a person works, then he can ask himself a paid vacation when he wants. In other words, the employer must provide a legitimate rest when the veteran demands it.

Also, this category of persons retains the right to free education and professional development, if required by the head. The payment of these procedures is entirely from the employer's funds. With a veteran, you can not request money for training.

The cultural component of life, too, must not be forgotten. After the citizen is able to obtain the certificate of a veteran of military operations, he will have the right to preferential visits to sports and cultural and entertainment centers. You can also buy tickets for transport at a discount and even book them in advance. This privilege is recommended to be specified in each region - everywhere there are rules. In some places, veterans of military operations can generally move on a certain public transport for free. Of course, this category of population needs to be serviced at the box office without queue.

Ritual services are also included in the benefits provided. What is it about? Relatives of the veteran are offered to reimburse some expenses made during the burial of the body. Namely:

• Transportation to the burial place;
• Immediate burial;
• The manufacture of a monument.

Perhaps, this is all that veterans and their relatives can get. Now we need to understand how the identity card is issued. After all, this process is caused by a lot of questions by many people. If you think about it, it's not so difficult. It is enough to collect a certain package of documents and provide it to those or other bodies. After a while, the person will be given a proper identity card, which can be used to receive benefits and bonuses from the state.

Documentation

To begin with, you need to decide which papers are required. After all, paper red tape always brings a lot of problems. Veterans may refuse to issue an identity card if they bring with them an incomplete package of documents.

To the list of mandatory securities at this time include:

• Identity card (a predominantly civil passport is accepted);
• military ID;
• A personal file of a serviceman;
• Extracts and certificates of enrollment in military units;
• Documents from archives;
• Any award materials;
• Flight books (if any);
• SNILS;
• Photo;
• Any evidence of participation in hostilities in Chechnya or Afghanistan.

Also to all of the above list, you will need to attach a statement of the established pattern. The certificate of veterans of military operations can often not be obtained without providing documents on the composition of the family, or rather, the marital status. Therefore, it is recommended to take with them certificates of marriage, divorce and the birth of children. It is recommended to make copies of all documents. They can be given along with the application. And the originals are left with the owner. After 30 days from the moment of application the citizen will have to issue a certificate.

About pictures

Particular attention is recommended to give photos that are attached to the package of documents. Even because of this component, a citizen can refuse to issue an identity card. The thing is that certain requirements are put to the pictures. Make them need in an amount of 3-4 pieces, preferably in color. In the photo salon and to inform that the images are needed in order to issue a certificate of war veterans. The size of the pictures is standard - 3 by 4.

The main attention should be paid to the prescription of the images. The thing is that some veterans prefer to apply old photos. You can not do this. After all, no organization will accept the old images. All photos must be fresh. Therefore, it is recommended to take care of this moment in advance. The maximum age of the image is 6 months. Images can be brought with you half a year ago, they will have to be accepted. But older photos are prohibited.

If the war party or veteran certificate was issued, you do not need to replace the photo in the document. Every citizen must remember these rules. Otherwise, with registration of the majority of documents there will be certain problems.

Where to go

The next point to which you need to pay attention is the answer to the question of where to file the previously listed list of securities. Not everyone can understand this topic. In fact, everything is simple.

Modern citizens are given actual freedom of action in relation to the task. They themselves can choose where to apply for a certificate of a veteran of the fighting (or participant). Among the proposed organizations can be identified the following places:

• Ministry of Internal Affairs in the place of residence of a citizen;
• Pension funds;
• Personnel subdivisions of territorial bodies of the Ministries of Internal Affairs;
• Multifunctional centers;
• Portal "State services".

In all of the above organizations, citizens can leave an application for the issuance of an identity card. There is no significant difference in them. It should be noted only a few nuances - many are addressing the MFC. Here, the process of processing any papers is faster and without much trouble. Most often at the same time as submitting an application, you can additionally order missing information and extracts. Very comfortably.

The next moment is the use of the portal "State services". This site was invented specifically to make life easier for the population. Here you can issue a certificate of a veteran or, for example, a passport. But you will have to receive it in one of the previously listed bodies. MFC is usually chosen. The main problem of using the portal "State Service" is registration on the site. If a citizen does not have an active profile here, and the certificate is required as soon as possible, it is recommended to use any other way of registration. It takes about 14 days to activate the profile. This significantly slows down the process.

Content of the document

And what information will be contained in the received paper? It does not matter who gets the document - veterans of military operations in Chechnya or in any other field. The main thing is that the data is recorded in the one and the other case the same.

In the received certificate, citizens will be able to see:

• FULL NAME. Owner;
• Photo of veteran;
• The name of the document with the series and number thereof;
• The name of the body that issued the certificate (usually the MIA);
• The signature of the owner of the document;
• List of benefits and bonuses put to the citizen;
• Date of issue;
• The signature of the authorized person (sometimes with a seal) that issued the paper.

No more entries are made in the document. If there are external signatures, or any other information, the certificate will be considered invalid. This should be noted.

That's all. In fact, it is not so difficult to understand what a combatant (or a veteran) can receive from the state. And if you correctly prepare the package of documents required to complete the paper being studied, the whole process will pass without any problems. The lack of a certificate is a good reason for receiving a refusal when applying for benefits.

You do not need to exchange the document. Replacement is carried out only if necessary (for example, in case of damage or loss) on a similar principle. Only to the list listed above, you need either an explanatory appendix, or an old certificate sample. Approximately one month after applying to one or another authority, it will be possible to pick up a new copy of the document. The process of making an identity card is completely free. This fact must also be taken into account by citizens. Obtaining a war veteran's certificate is not such a difficult process.
