What this document is
The Solicitud de reconocimiento de la situación de dependencia y del derecho a las prestaciones is filed with the Andalusian Social Services and Dependency Agency (ASSDA) under Ley 39/2006, the dependency law. It asks for recognition that a person permanently needs help with daily life and for care services or payments: home help, a day centre, a care home, a family carer allowance and so on.
In Andalusia the procedure follows the rule “one application, one visit, one decision”: after you apply, a professional visits the home, assesses the situation and a single decision recognises the degree of dependency (I, II or III) and the right to specific support.
Who applies and where
- the person who needs care applies, or their representative: a parent of a minor, a guardian, a curator, or a relative with a power of attorney or written authorisation;
- conditions per the Junta procedure catalogue: being in a situation of dependency and having lived in Spain for five years, two of them immediately before applying; for children under five, the period applies to whoever has custody;
- where: at any public administration registry (for Junta registries, booking an appointment, cita previa, is recommended) or by post; online through the Ventanilla Electrónica de Dependencia;
- according to the catalogue, the decision is due within 6 months; if there is no answer, administrative silence means refusal.
What the form asks for
- applicant details: surnames, given name, DNI/NIE, date of birth, nationality, sex, NSS and NUHSA numbers, marital status, address and contacts;
- the representative (a person or an organisation) and the type of representation;
- residence in Andalusia, disability, rare disease, gran invalidez;
- grounds for priority processing (under 14, aged 90 or over, ALS, palliative care, etc.);
- care already received, how to be notified, income (for people who do not file IRPF), consent to data checks and the list of documents.
What to bring
- always: the “Informe sobre condiciones de salud”, a health report on the official form completed by a doctor or nurse at your health centre, no older than 3 months on the day you apply;
- proof of representation, if a representative applies;
- copies of DNI/NIE, a padrón certificate, an INSS benefits certificate and tax returns only if you object to the authority checking that data itself;
- a medical or official report if you tick a ground for priority processing.
The exact list is in section 11 of the form and in the instructions on the last page.
