Social media users have reported widespread payment denials following the flooding in Dagestan.

She said she does not plan to appeal to the authorities. "I don't want to run around with documents. Because I don't have to. I have all the information in my government services account, and there's nothing to prove. Just don't promise these 'one-time payments' if you don't plan to pay them," she noted.

"They initially told me that our address was only added to the emergency list on April 15th, and all applications submitted before that date would be rejected. So I resubmitted it on the 18th. And today they told me you're not entitled to anything at all," she added in the comments.

"We're keeping quiet about the fact that people were without water and power for six days, and yet that doesn't count as suffering. A thrown-out refrigerator and freezer full of food isn't a loss either," commented shunya.creator.

"We're also getting refusals on the second dead end. Let's all file a lawsuit together as a matter of principle, then the legal costs for each person won't be high," suggested Zaira_mas77.

"Palmira. The house wasn't flooded, but there was more than half a meter of water in the yard. We then had to repair/replace the sewer manhole cover and clean out the sewer system. They added crushed stone to the street, in short, it cost about 50,000. And when the commission came, they didn't draw up a report, saying that people were more severely affected. In short, we, and everyone on our street and the neighboring one, were refused," wrote the user. sumaiaadam.

"Refusal... by Salman Galimov. It was flooded pretty badly. There was no power, no water, no communication," writes zatanna05.
