According to him, the error could be mathematical if the operator entered incorrect data, for example the duration of service. In this case, the pensioner is not to blame and the excess payment will not need to be returned. However, starting next month the amount of the pension will decrease, the lawyer explained in conversation with the Prime agency.
The disability pension may be reduced if the citizen does not confirm his or her diagnosis in a timely manner. Another reason for reducing the amount of the payment is relocation: if a pensioner no longer lives in the north, he will be deprived of increasing coefficients.
The lawyer also noted that there are difficult cases when the overpayment will have to be returned. For example, if a citizen initially presented false documents, this can become the basis not only for the return of money, but also for initiating a criminal case, Soloviev concluded.
It was previously reported that the State Duma received a bill proposing to resume the indexation of the fixed payment to the insurance pension and adjust the amount of pensions for disabled workers. It was noted that if the document is approved, indexation will be carried out from the beginning of 2024 taking into account changes in the value of the pension coefficient in the period 2016-2023.
