However, the father would exceed the income level required for the application of the minimum for ascendants.

On the other hand, regarding the minimum disability per ascendant corresponding to Mrs. MGM's mother, although the way to prove the degree of disability is through the certificates issued by the Institute of Migration and Social Services or the competent body of the Autonomous Communities, article 60 of the Personal Income Tax Law will consider a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33% to be accredited in the case of Social Security pensioners who have a recognized permanent total, absolute or major disability pension, therefore that its application proceeds recognizing a disability of 33%.  (Back)
