A group of deputies from the LDPR faction, headed by Leonid Slutsky, prepared a draft law “On Amendments to the Law “On Veterans” for submission to the State Duma. He proposes to establish a legal guarantee for the receipt of psychological assistance to veterans and family members of fallen combatants, Izvestia learned.
The document also provides for granting the right to medical and psychological rehabilitation to disabled people and combatants if they have evidence.
“Currently, in the Russian Federation there is no single legislative act on the provision of psychological assistance to citizens, and the legal regulation of this issue, as a rule, is carried out at the level of sectoral laws and by-laws,” the explanatory note to the bill, which is available to Izvestia, says. .
Now the law “On the Fundamentals of Social Services for Citizens” determines that, if necessary, Russians are assisted in providing psychological, pedagogical, legal and other assistance, the document specifies. The order of the Ministry of Health “On psychological and psychiatric assistance in emergency situations” establishes the procedure for its provision during an emergency. In addition, the right to medical and psychological rehabilitation of up to 30 days, according to the law “On the status of servicemen”, is given to active servicemen after they have completed tasks that adversely affect their health.
“At the same time, war invalids and combat veterans, as well as family members of the fallen (deceased) war invalids, combat veterans and military personnel need professional psychological assistance. Special support in this area should also be provided to veterans of the older generation,” the document says.
According to the authors of the initiative, the relevance of the bill is due, in particular, to the participation of Russian military personnel in the NMD.
