Work for pensioners with a good style: http://opensii.info/forum-pensionerov/rabota/udalyonnaya-dlya-pensionerov/
From Kuznetsov Sergei Nikolaevich
APPEAL
The time has come for retirement and when counting length of service It was discovered that military service in Afghanistan does not count towards length of service, as stated in the resolution of the CPSU Central Committee and the Council of Ministers of the USSR dated January 17, 1983. N 59-27 one month of service for three months - time of service in Afghanistan.
In its response to my appeal, the branch of the pension fund for the Volgograd region indicated, in particular, that Federal Law No. 173 “On labor pensions in the Russian Federation” “does not contain special norms allowing to take into account when calculating insurance period, and general insurance experience, the period of service in Afghanistan is tripled.”
However, I disagree with this statement due to the following.
I was in military service on conscription in a unit, part of the active army during the period of hostilities in Afghanistan
In accordance with Article 16 of the Federal Law “On Veterans”, combat veterans are provided with the following measures social support:1. pension benefits in accordance with the law. These benefits are provided Federal law“On labor pensions in the Russian Federation.”
In accordance with Article 2 of Federal Law No. 173 “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation” (hereinafter referred to as the Law), the basic concepts used in this Federal Law are calculated pension capital - taken into account in the manner determined by the Government of the Russian Federation, the total amount of insurance contributions and other income V Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for the insured person and pension rights in monetary terms acquired before the entry into force of this Federal Law, which is the basis for determining the amount of the insurance part of the labor pension.
The law provides several options for determining the estimated size of the labor pension of the Republic of Poland (used to determine the estimated pension capital RKK), which are provided for in Parts 3,4,6 of Article 30 of the Law
Until January 1, 2002, Part 3 of Article 30 of the Law provided for a general formula for calculating the RP.
Part 4 of Article 30 of the Law provides for the possibility of including periods of service in Afghanistan in the total length of service in triple the amount.
Thus, in accordance with the Law, I have the right to include the period of service in the active army in the total length of service in triple the amount, which will increase my length of service coefficient and influence upward the calculated size of the RP labor pension, and as a result, the amount of the calculated pension capital, which is the basis for determining the size of the insurance part of the labor pension. For me this is a kind of benefit; an instrument provided by the legislator that allows taking into account the fulfillment of one’s duty to the Motherland when determining the amount of the insurance part of the labor pension. This instrument is provided by the legislator, and in my opinion, it allows combatants to feel the manifestation of social justice in the preferential assessment of periods of conscription service in the active army when assigning a labor pension.
I would like to draw attention to the fact that, according to our legislation, participants in combat operations in Afghanistan from the pension fund can count on inclusion in their seniority of three times the amount of military service in Afghanistan, Article 30 part 4, which allows him to ultimately increase the size of the insurance part of his labor pension.
However, in Part 4 of Article 30 of the Law “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation”,
The legislator stipulates that the estimated amount of the old-age labor pension under this option cannot exceed the amount of -555 rubles. 96 kopecks
Thus, the legislator has established a level that not only limits the rights of preferential categories of citizens, but moreover, puts them at a disadvantage compared to citizens who are not entitled to any benefits (calculation according to the formula established in Part 3 of Art. .30 of the Law).
I consider this circumstance to be extremely unfair and requiring attention from the legislator. I propose to consider the issue of lifting the restrictions on the estimated size of the labor pension for combat veterans established in the federal law of December 17, 2001 N173-F3, Part 4, Article 30 of the Law “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation”; In Part 3, Article 30 of Federal Law N 173-F3, include military service in Afghanistan in the length of service coefficient as 1 month of service for 3 months of service. Increase the ratio of the average salary of an insured person to the average salary in the Russian Federation from 1.2 to 1.9, depending on the length of service in Afghanistan.
Resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR dated January 17, 1983 No. 59-27 - the main benefit for those who served in Afghanistan - 1 month of service for 3 months of service. Resolution No. 941 of 08/22/1993 Resolution No. 565 of July 31, 2008 Article 55 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation - in Russia no laws should be issued that abolish the rights of citizens. Article No. 4 of the Civil Code - according to which legislative acts do not have retroactive effect.

Pension for combatants in Afghanistan

Pension for combatants in Chechnya
Relatively recently, military personnel who served in Chechnya between 1994 and 1996 received UBD status, which means that they are legally provided for an increased pension payment, as well as the right to a monthly additional payment that is not subject to taxation.
Residents of the northern regions receive additional allowances. The minimum social payment today is 4,770 rubles, and the social supplement is 1,000 rubles (32 percent of the minimum social pension).

Pension benefits and EDV for combat veterans are indexed annually, and the indicator is formed on the basis of the federal budget for a certain period.
If a veteran refuses certain benefits (for example, payment for travel on public transport), then the EDV is paid in full. In the case of using such privileges, the benefit is calculated taking into account the funds used.
Is early retirement possible?
According to Resolution of the Council of Ministers - Government of the Russian Federation No. 941, service in the previously listed cases is counted in preferential terms: one month of service in a place of military conflict is equal to three months of service.
How to calculate a UBD pension: rules, formulas and calculation procedure
The pension for WBD veterans is calculated as the sum of payments made on general terms and personal allowances accrued on an individual basis. If a citizen has the right to receive a long-service pension, then its amount will be determined as follows:

- when calculating using a mixed type (25 years total experience) – 50% of the salary plus 1% for each year over the specified length of service.
- SPV - insurance pension payment;
- FV - fixed payment;
- K - increasing coefficient (if there are rights to use it);
- IPK - pension points(individual coefficient);
- SPK is the established value of one pension point.
At the same time, veterans who took part in hostilities as civilians receive a pension through the Pension Fund. In this case, insurance payments are calculated using the generally accepted formula of the form:
SPV = (EF x K) + (IPK x SPK x K),
