There are four types of permanent disabilities linked to contributory benefits and pensions from the National Social Security Instituteas explained lawyer Pedro López, expert in labor law and disability: partial, total, absolute and great disability. Depending on the worker’s limitations when performing a job, one or the other is granted, since each of them has a series of recognitions and conditions attached to it.
Broadly speaking, These are the four disabilities and what its recognition entails.
