The councillor for Social Inclusion at the Mijas Town Hall, Mari Francis Alarcón (PP), reported on Monday that her department has already paid out the grants for people with functional diversity, for which 500,000 euros had been set aside this year, “although in the end only 460,440 euros were used, based on the applications received”, said the councillor, adding that “this aid, which was paid out on Friday, helps to cover the cost of therapies, treatments, mobility aids and medical supplies, among other things”. 

Alarcón also pointed out that this year, 199 beneficiaries met the requirements to be eligible for this financial benefit, which had a maximum amount of 3,240 euros per user “and have been awarded on a competitive basis, assessing in each case the level of disability or dependency, income, the number of family members with functional diversity, and the number of years of residence in the municipality, among other factors”.

These subsidies, which are compatible with other aid from other administrations and entities, “were announced last October and had a one-month application period, which means they have been assessed and paid out quickly, in less than three months”, concluded the councillor.

Figures similar to 2024

According to details provided by the Department of Social Inclusion, a total of 328 applications were submitted in 2025, of which 199 grants were finally processed, with a total amount of 460,440 euros. These figures are therefore very similar to those for 2024, when 331 applications were submitted and 196 grants were awarded, with a total amount of 456,840 euros.
