System for Autonomy and Care for Dependency: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to access financial aid and care services if you or a loved one requires assistance due to physical or mental disability.

This system provides support and financial aid to individuals who cannot live independently due to physical, mental, or intellectual disabilities.

Who it's for

This scheme is for people who have a recognized disability and require assistance to carry out daily activities or maintain their autonomy.

What you get

You can receive different types of support depending on your needs. This includes financial aid for care provided at home, help from personal assistance services, or support for residential care.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to apply, but the process requires a medical assessment and a report from a social worker. You should also be prepared for long waiting times during the evaluation phase.

The catch to know

The amount of support or money you receive is determined by your "grado" (degree) of dependency. It is important to know that the assessment process is notoriously slow, so it may take some time before benefits begin.

How to apply

  1. Request an assessment through your local social services office.
  2. Complete the necessary medical evaluations.
  3. Wait for the social worker to finalize your report.
  4. Once your degree of dependency is confirmed, select your preferred care option.
