Depression in Spain: Understanding Your Rights to Permanent Disability Pensions
Madrid, Spain – A recent report indicates that 5% of the adult population in Spain experiences depression. This statistic underscores a significant public health challenge, with many individuals potentially unaware of the legal provisions available to them. According to legal expert Víctor Arpa, chronic depression that is resistant to treatment and significantly impacts an individual's ability to work may qualify them for a permanent disability pension. Arpa emphasized that the National Social Security Institute (INSS) conducts a comprehensive evaluation, considering a person's clinical history, daily functional capacity, ability to concentrate, and social interactions. He noted that even individuals who can perform telework may be eligible for a pension, which in severe cases can amount to 100% of the regulatory base and be exempt from taxes. "There are already court rulings that recognize this right, even if you can do telework," Arpa stated. For those grappling with depression and finding themselves unable to continue working, Arpa advises seeking legal counsel. His firm offers assistance in demonstrating the impact of mental health conditions to secure the justice and support individuals deserve.
