If children have crossed the eighteen-year milestone, but at the same time continue to study full-time, the benefit remains until they are 23 years old.
Transport and other benefits for military pensioners

If one of the family members (spouse, child) leaves, the state compensates half the cost.
2. Once a year, the cost of travel to the place of treatment or rehabilitation and back is returned to military pensioners, provided that the treatment is carried out on the recommendation of the military medical commission.

What other compensation do military pensioners expect? Benefits for admission to primary vocational education institutions - applicants accept without entrance examinations. After training in secondary specialized military educational institutions or in the presence of a basic general education, military pensioners are enrolled in secondary educational institutions out of competition.
Benefits when studying or getting a job, of course, are a pleasant “bonus”, but not everyone will use them. While monetary compensation is the most sought-after today. What monetary benefits are provided for military pensioners ?
Unfortunately, there are not as many as we would like.
Until 2012, citizens who retired by age and had 15 years of military service experience could receive benefits equal to 40% of their salary for 5 years. If a person has served more than 15 years, then for each additional year he was entitled to an increase of 3% in salary. This social benefit has now been canceled. Together with him, monetary compensation in the amount of 600 rubles for the pensioner himself and 300 rubles for his legal spouse and minor children was canceled. Canceled and compensation for the cost of permits for children 6.5-15 years.
Instead, a newly made pensioner may receive a salary corresponding to his military rank within a year after leaving the service. In addition, he can return the amount paid as a tax on personal income and land tax before 01. 2015.
If the service took place in areas with an unfavorable climate, for example, in the conditions of the Far North, then this experience will be taken into account when receiving regional allowances.
Here, far from all the compensations and benefits to military pensioners are listed, which they can count on. But only part of the most sought after. Subsidies and benefits are described in more detail in the corresponding federal law “On the status of military personnel”.
