Spanish disability benefit legal rulings

Overview

The High Court of Justice of Castilla-La Mancha has upheld the total permanent disability status for a self-employed shop owner in Albacete. The ruling dismissed an appeal by the Social Security Institute to revoke the status, as well as an appeal by the beneficiary to upgrade the classification to absolute permanent disability.

The worker, who manages a retail store, has a recognized 66% permanent disability and a 27% mobility scale. While the National Social Security Institute (INSS) argued that medical conditions including polyarthrosis and degenerative joint pain did not sufficiently limit her capacity, the Social Court No. 2 of Albacete ruled in June 2025 that she could no longer perform her usual duties. Consequently, she is entitled to receive 55% of a regulatory base of 708.12 euros due to common illness.
