The new pension indexation mechanism announced by the Government will bring an unwanted side effect: the increase in disability pensions. Disability pensions are those granted by the State to socially vulnerable people who demonstrate a 76% or more decrease in their work capabilities.
Between 2002 and 2017, benefits went from 76,899 to 1,075,815, with an increase of 1,299% as published in Fund.ar. Between mid-2021 and the end of 2023 the figures make a new jump of 12%.
