What are the new social benefits approved by the Government?

The Spanish government has approved a decree to enhance social benefits, including widow pensions for couples without legal ties and increased support for parents of seriously ill children. The decree allows couples with children to access widow pensions after two years of cohabitation, regardless of marital status. It also extends benefits for parents caring for disabled children over 26 and improves orphan pensions for victims of gender violence. Additionally, it introduces special provisions for women suffering from menopause-related conditions and victims of terrorism, raising minimum pensions significantly. The decree aims to provide better protection against catastrophic events and improve economic support for families.
