Caregivers can apply for personal assistance support in family environment within 3 months

The Decree-Law 2/2026 adds Article 3 bis and Chapter III to Decree-Law 3/2023, enabling caregivers to access personal assistance support in the family environment. This expands compatibility rules for dependency care benefits, in accordance with Article 47.1 of the Canarian Statute. A Validation Agreement is also published by Resolution of 27 March 2026 (Article 47.1 Organic Law 1/2018).

In 3 key points

  1. Article 3 bis is added to allow for personal assistance support within the family environment (art. 3 bis)
  2. Additional Provision 13 of Law 16/2019 is amended to adjust benefit compatibilities (disposición adicional 13 de la Ley 16/2019)
  3. A validation Agreement is published by Resolution dated 27 March 2026 (Resolución de 27 de marzo de 2026)

How it affects those involved

For caregivers, access to support within the family environment is expanded, improving quality of life and autonomy. Social administrations can optimise resource use by allowing greater flexibility in service provision. Social service advisors must update their guidelines to include the new compatibility regime and the new Article 3 bis. Caregivers who previously lacked access to such support can now apply for it within the family setting.
