A disabled person of group 2 is entitled to a number of benefits that make life easier for him. Among the main ones is the ability to reduce or completely eliminate the transport tax. For registration, you must collect a package of papers confirming the rights of a disabled person, and also make sure that the vehicle complies with the requirements of the law.
Eligibility: Basic Requirements
Disability group 2 is received by citizens who are not able to move independently, who have restrictions on work and training. At the same time, they can serve themselves in everyday life and lead a relatively active life. In the latter, a disabled person is assisted by a vehicle specially adapted to the needs of a person with limited mobility. The state is ready to reduce the cost of maintenance and operation of the machine. A disabled person of the 2nd group gets rid of the payment of transport tax and receives a significant benefit for issuing an OSAGO policy (50% of the amount of the insurance payment).
Before proceeding with the paperwork, you need to make sure that the machine meets the requirements. The main thing is engine power. In Moscow and the Moscow Region, citizens with disabilities are exempted from transport tax if the car's capacity does not exceed 150 horsepower. A motorcycle or scooter can have a maximum of 50 horsepower. For comparison, in the Lipetsk region, a disabled person receives a benefit if his car is not more powerful than 200 horsepower. Residents of other regions should check the requirements with the local departments of social protection or on the FSN website.
You can get a benefit only for 1 car, specially adapted for the needs of a disabled person. It is necessary that the car was purchased with social support.
