The Regional Ministry of Family, Youth and Social Affairs measure will avoid people to request periodically the certificate. From May onwards, disabled citizens will receive SMS to notify that the degree of disability will be maintained. Therefore, it is only required to request a review, when changes in the degree of disability may happen.

“Before, they had to request the renewal of the degree and if you didn't do it, it would expire”, explains the general director of disability of the Regional Ministry, Alejandra Serrano, quoted by 20minutos. This document issued by the regional administration is necessary to access the established benefits and public services, such as the parking card. “In the case of a 20-year-old person with a 40% disability who was assessed on 15 May 2023, the resolution used to state that it would usually be reviewed in two years”, Serrano explains, “now they don't have to apply for anything, unless they believe their disability has worsened”.
