- wife or husband;
- minor children of a serviceman;
- unmarried adult children recognized as persons with disabilities since childhood of the I and II groups or persons with disabilities of the I group;
- a person who lives with a person with a disability due to the war of group I and takes care of them (provided they are not married);
- disabled parents of the beneficiary;
- a person who is under the care or custody of a citizen who is entitled to benefits and lives with him.
"The benefit is granted for 12 months from the month when such a right arises. In accordance with legislative acts, privileged categories of citizens have the right to a discount on the payment of housing and communal services in cash, taking into account the average monthly income — 100%, 50%, 25%", - added the PFU.
