Unfortunately there are many types of diseases that make a person unable to fend for himself and have to depend on third parties. This situation is compounded by the current economic context, which means that many families have to take charge of medicines and the needs of a family member without receiving any type of income.
To solve these problems, the Conselleria de Bienstar Social offers benefits to dependent persons in order to guarantee a certain economic security for them and their families.
Benefits that do not arrive
The theory is very good, the fact is that the aid does not reach the people who request it in many cases and both sick and family members are waiting for money that does not arrive.
The benefits are granted by the Consell after making a series of requests and claiming a dependency status, but sometimes this entity takes more than 2 years to resolve the request.
This is the case that was discussed at the beginning of February in the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community. A family claimed the benefit of their mother, already deceased, without having ever been a beneficiary of a requested aid 2 years before. Apparently, the family of the woman, in a state of dependency, requested the help to the Conselleria in 2008 and, until the death of the lady, in 2010 they had not received a single euro.
How to act
This we have counted is a case among the multiple that exist in the Valencian Community and in Dénia but there are ways of being able to face it. The Business Association of Residences and Services to Dependent Persons of the Valencian Community (Aerte), recommends that the applicants of the benefits "to resort to justice to safeguard their rights when the Department of Welfare denies any request." Apparently, the data show that 95% of the lawsuits filed by dependents against the administration are won.
In Dénia you can find Atentia, a group of companies specialized in providing services to people and companies that have been working for more than 20 years with their own methodology and proven experience years to help you care for dependents and seniors who need daily help.
