Due to the immigration visa, she is permanently residing in Switzerland.
In a heartfelt letter to the Beobachter, Anna Amstein, a 22-year-old woman who suffers from autism spectrum disorder, shares her struggle with Spain's Social Security system.
Anna, who lives on a disability pension, moved to the southern Spanish province of Granada a year ago with her partner. They found peace in Granada, a place where no one asks about her work, allowing her to focus on her well-being.
However, her disability pension, which serves as her primary source of income, was discontinued when she moved to Spain. This is due to a Spanish law that relates to the regulations on non-resident disability benefits under the Spanish Social Security system, as governed by Royal Decree 1299/2006 and related social security coordination regulations within the EU.
The law states that if Anna wants to live independently, she must stay in Switzerland forever. This requirement poses a significant challenge for Anna, who has found a new home and peace in Granada.
Anna's story highlights the complexities of the Spanish Social Security system and its impact on individuals with disabilities. It raises questions about the fairness of a system that seems to penalise those who seek a change of residence, particularly when moving for personal reasons such as peace and tranquility.
In a more positive note, Anna's letter also serves as a reminder that books can provide comfort and inspiration. The Most Popular Books of the Decade, a book recommendation, might just be the perfect escape for those in need of a good read. For those looking to get their hands dirty, there's also a guide on how to plant a raised bed correctly.
As Anna continues to navigate her situation, her story serves as a call to action for those who believe in fairness and equality for all, regardless of their physical or mental abilities.
