A resident of Novosibirsk was denied child allowances on the pretext of an "invalid" passport based on a certificate from the Ministry of Internal Affairs A resident of Novosibirsk submitted an application for a monthly child allowance to the regional branch of the Social Fund of Russia (SFR). She had previously received benefits, and all the necessary data was available to the SFR. But this time the fund refused on the pretext of the "disqualification of the passport", which officials determined on the basis of a certificate from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the public service of the courts of the general jurisdiction of the Novosibirsk region said. The Dzerzhinsky District Court sided with the woman and declared the refusal of the SFR illegal and decided to grant benefits.
