The disability certificate goes from 0 to 100 and is given by the social security. Depending on your general or mobility percentages you get extra helps or tax returns that barely cover the extra costs from therapy or general help.
I see nothing wrong with that slider? They are quite literally asking you if you have an official certificate and its percentage so that they can get grants by contracting you.
tbh I’m not from Spain so I haven’t come across describing disability as a number before. but because this is an official designation as you said, now this makes perfect sense
It’s not really “describing disability as a number” per se, like obviously everyone’s abilities are unique and varied, but in this context it might mean what government incentives the employer might be eligible for, and what work capacity the applicant has in terms of hours or something.
It’s similar in Germany. Depending on what your condition is you will get a „Grad der Behinderung“ (degree of disability). For example a missing finger gets you 10%, a missing hand 50% and a whole arm 80%, but also things like sleep apnea (depending on the need and success of treatment), diabetes, and much more.
Depending on the result (multiple conditions are not simply added together) you can get tax credits, benefits for the employer, early retirement, protection from eviction etc.
Yeah, it’s not really describing the disabilty itself, but the severity of the disability. Right now there are different importance numbers for different levels, like 35%, 67%… They could be called “mild”, “severe” or whatever, but I guess that having a numbers allows for future revision of levels and adding new grants/tax exemptions to different numbers. I was kinda pissed that you were posting this on softwaregore without proper context but since the first comment (mine) is clarifying it idc anymore XD.
BTW, it’s the first time I have ever seen that website. If you are looking to relocate to Spain the typical sites for tech jobs are LinkedIn and InfoJobs. Good luck!

I know that already, tecnoempleo was just a site I was redirected to by one of the job postings on LinkedIn.
Good luck!
Thank you!
I mean we have a similar percentage system. It’s like the bigger the percentage the more your life is impacted by the disability kinda thing. If I recall correctly my brother is like 1-2% disabled because he broke some of his teeth falling off his bike and had to get them fixed.
Sliders suck for accuracy. If you want a specific number, have them type it.
I think it’s pretty similar in my country too. At least the rare documents that ask is like this.
I’m half sure that in Germany the percent is the amount of hours of work that you cannot practice due to disability. So 50% is that you can only work half of standard 40 hours/week. This is also officially certified.
I would consider myself 24% disabled:)

I’m 100% disabled in my country
I can’t leave my bed, can’t speak or be spoken to, have trouble eating, and I can only use a phone for limited periods.
So I can’t work at all, hence 100% disabled.
It’s good to hear from you, friend! I hope you’re able to make the most out of it :)
