Disability Evaluation in Spain: What to Pay Attention To

In Spain, when applying for disability, the applicant must go through several phases, one of which is the evaluation by the Medical Tribunal through an interview. Experts explain that the tribunal's decision is based not only on the applicant's answers but also on their behavior and reactions in various situations. For instance, tribunal members may observe how a person walks to the interview or reacts to an object falling. Lawyers warn about possible 'traps' where a decision might be based on subjective interpretations rather than medical documentation. In such cases, it is recommended to appeal the denial by providing an independent medical report that confirms real limitations. It is important to remember that days for leave are working days, as confirmed by the Supreme Court.
