The branch of the Pension Fund of Russia in the Amur Region will not demand return of payments from veterans of hostilities on Damansky Island, which were listed by mistake in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Victory of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War.
The decision not to bring claims to the veterans was made after the meeting of Governor Vasily Orlov with representatives of the regional branch of the FIU.
This was reported by the press service of the Amur Region Government..
The head of the region declared the inadmissibility of such errors on the part of state structures when calculating payments to citizens and suggested discussing options, so that people do not have to give the received money to the Pension Fund. In any case, veterans will not need to return payments.
In late April, the FIU made a mistake in calculating lump sums for the anniversary of the Victory over fascism. Then, along with veterans of World War II, payments received more 50 combatants on Damansky Island. In May, when the pension fund noticed its oversight, notifications were sent to veteran Damans asking for a refund.
Then the deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the region met with participants in the battles on Damansky and promised them to resolve the issue, having discussed options with the government of the Amur Region and the Pension Fund.
Soviet-Chinese conflict on Damansky Island occurred in March 1969 of the year. It was the largest armed clash between two countries in all of history..
