For the first time in Spain, a woman with ME and fibromyalgia was granted a full disability pension from the provincial court of Zamora!
In 2019, the woman was previously denied a disability pension from the national disability pension agency, INSS, because the INSS guidelines do
not allow for full disability pensions to patients with ME or fibromyalgia.
Patient groups have organized petitions against the INSS guidelines and even submitted a proposed revision to the guidelines, but the INSS has refused to change their guidelines.
The ruling by the provincial court of Zamora is surprising because the provincial court's ruling goes directly against the national disability pension agency.
The national disability pension agency, INSS, then appealed the provincial court's ruling to the regional supreme court of Castille/Leon.
The regional supreme court of Castille/Leon then ruled in favor of the patient and upheld the disability pension!
