There are many bureaucratic procedures that, due to the coronavirus pandemic, we can carry out electronically and without leaving home. Request any type of certificate through the internet, check if we are up to date with our tax obligations, find out if we have any debt with any body or public or even request a provision for temporary disability, are some of the processes that we can do electronically And without leaving home.
Although initially it seems that it does not make sense that there is the possibility of requesting a disability benefit online and not in person as it has always been, from the Social Security website we can present all the necessary documentation to be able to process the withdrawal, including medical certificates necessary to be able to receive the corresponding benefit.
In addition, we can also request a extension review of temporary disability whether or not we have improved in our leave status. If we are not satisfied with the medical discharge that cancels the benefit we are receiving, we can also express our disagreement in this regard online, without having to go to Social Security in person. Obviously through the website of this public body, we can also check the status of the processing of our benefit with temporary disability due to illness or accident.

Unlike the procedures related to Health, which are delegated to the autonomous communities, Social Security continues to centralize through the Electronic Office. The section that Social Security allows us to request a disability benefit and from which we can also check the status of the application and present all the necessary documentation is available through the following link.
Depending on what we want to do, we must click on each of the available sections, procedures that we can do both on our own behalf and as an authorized representative or legal representative. Like all the procedures available electronically, in order to carry out these procedures we can do it using the corresponding digital certificate, the fastest and easiest method of all, or using the Cl@ve system or identifying ourselves with a telephone number that Social Security has registered with our data.
We can also access using our electronic DNIe, as long as we have the corresponding reader connected to our equipment, this being the easiest method if we do not have an electronic certificate, it takes us a long time to obtain the appointment or we have lost the corresponding key of the Cl@ve system.
If we want the waiting time between submitting the application until it is approved to be as short as possible, we must try to present all the necessary documentation during the process to avoid extending the deadline if we are asked for necessary documents that we have not considered.
