1.- Causes
The Spanish ex-combatants of the republican zone who, as a permanent or circumstantial part of the Armies and Forces of Public Order of the Republic, have suffered bodily injuries that permanently affect their physical or mental integrity, or suffer deprivation of equal character due to diseases caused or aggravated in the provision of a service during the period from 18 July 1936 to 1 April 1939, or arising during captivity suffered as a direct result of acts of war during that period.
Mutilated ex-combatants are classified as:
- War Maimed.
- Mutilated in the act of service.
- Unused for reasons of service.
At the same time, war and service mutilates, depending on the severity of the injury, are classified as absolute (more than 100 points), permanent (between 45 and 100 points) and useful (between 15 and 44 points).
Absolute and permanent mutilates are entitled to basic remuneration - because of their status as ex-combatants - and a mutilation pension - because of the mutilation they have undergone; they also cause pensions in favour of their relatives. However, useful maimed persons are only granted the right to a maiming pension and others who are unused because of the service are granted the benefit of basic pay, although the latter also cause family pensions.
2.- Beneficiaries
- The perpetrators themselves.
- Widowed spouses, ex-spouses or common-law partners, orphans under 21 years of age or over, incapacitated for any work from before completing it or from the death of the deceased or parents of those suffering injuries valued at at at least 45 points, provided that they meet the requirements and conditions established in the general Passive Classes legislation applicable in each case.
