Families with children with disabilities denounce administrative obstacles

Families of children with disabilities have denounced that the lack of coordination between administrations is hindering access to benefits linked to disability.

For example, families of dear children regret that they have been notified of the termination of the benefit for a child with disabilities by Social Security and have suspended the early payment of the income tax deduction for a descendant with disabilities, for lack of accreditation of the renewal of the disability certificate.

The Spanish Confederation of Families of Deaf People (FIAPAS) recalls that the suspension of administrative deadlines decreed during the state of alarm implies the maintenance of the validity of the disability certificate.

For this reason, it requests the Tax Agency (AEAT), the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) and the Social Institute of the Armed Forces (ISFAS) so that, in relation to the benefits and deductions that depend on these organizations, they accept the extended validity of the disability certificates expired during the state of alarm, as well as those pending renewal requested, while these procedures cannot be carried out.

The same provision must be made by the Tax Agency with respect to the titles of large families that have expired in this period or whose renewal has been suspended, since otherwise f the advance payment of the personal income tax deduction per big families will be suspended and there will be foreseeable obstacles to access the special educational needs subsidy.

FIAPAS also makes a wake-up call to those responsible for the autonomous communities so that these pending procedures, both for issuance and renewal, are involved and expedited.
