How can I arrange them? And who is generally referred to this category of citizens?
About labor veterans
In Russia, many citizens who have been working officially for a long time can receive the title of labor veteran. This status provides access to some state bonuses. Someone thinks that a pensioner = a labor veteran. But actually it is not.
The following categories of persons include:
- Those who received the mentioned status under the USSR.
- People who have worked officially for 40 years (men) or 35 years (women).
Accordingly, not everyone has the right to receive the studied rank. But its presence opens up a number of special opportunities for pensioners.

If there are grounds for formalizing the mentioned status, you need to contact the social protection of the population. The pensioner must bring with him:
- identification;
- work book;
- certificates of doing business;
- rewards (if any);

To date, in the Sverdlovsk region, the status of a labor veteran can be issued by about 100,000 people. It is recommended to do this for the sake of statutory benefits. They are federal and regional.

Among the benefits to labor veterans of the Sverdlovsk region allocate additional payments. In 2017, they amount to 600 rubles. This is a kind of allowance for pensioners.

Prosthetics
Benefits to retired labor veterans also include (at the Federal level) the possibility of free prosthetics services. Installation and manufacturing of prostheses also do not require payment.
Some are interested in what can be said about dentures. Indeed, in Russia, often dental services do not provide for any "concessions."

Citizens with this status are exempted from half of the "communal". They are given a discount of 50% of the sent utility bills. But a full exemption from the payment of housing and communal services is also allowed. Usually this situation takes place, when it comes to a lonely pensioner.
A similar bonus extends to family members of a labor veteran who permanently resides with him. Benefits for utility bills require separate registration. But more on that later. First, you should get acquainted with other forms of state support.
Taxes
The Law "On Veterans of Labor" indicates that this category of citizens is often an unprotected layer of the population. And therefore, at the federal level, they are taxed.
Which ones? For example, retired "hard workers" are exempt from property taxes. Usually this rule applies to one property from each category (apartment, house, cottage, garage, room).
