Disabled person from the Gryazinsky district compensated for the rent of a wheelchair, which was not issued by the OSFR

Disabled group 1 from the Gryazinsky district for more than two months waited for technical means of rehabilitation, which he was never given, and eventually achieved justice through the court.

The Gryazinsk interdistrict prosecutor's office defended the rights of a man left without his wheelchairs. This was reported in the Prosecutor’s office of the Lipetsk region.

The story began with the fact that within the framework of the state contract, the OSFR in the Lipetsk region gave a disabled person directions to receive indoor and walking wheelchairs. However, weeks passed, and the means of rehabilitation the man did not receive: for more than two months they were not issued, and the directions themselves by that time lost their validity. The wait was delayed, and the need for a wheelchair did not go away – it was necessary to move and leave the house every day.

In order not to be locked in four walls, the man rented a wheelchair for his own money. These expenses became the basis for appeal to the Prosecutor’s office.

The prosecutor appealed to the court with a demand to recover from the OSFR the costs of rent, as well as compensate the disabled for moral damage in the amount of 20 thousand rubles. Claims satisfied. The prosecution took control of the execution of the judgment.

Thus, the supervisory authority not only restored justice in a particular case, but also reminded that the late provision of technical means of rehabilitation is a violation of human rights, for which one has to answer. For the man himself, the court decision means that the money spent on rent will be returned, and the moral costs of a long wait will be compensated.
