Hi There,
I am just going through the process at the moment and will keep you informed of the stages.
I have been told by my doctor that I have to have an operation on my hand which is not allowing me to work.
1/ I went to my GP and asked for the (Baja)this means that I am at present unable to work - sick benifit.
2/ I then had to go to Servef (Spanish Unemployment office) and sign on (Presentaciones) (You fill a booklet in and it tells you all that is needed in regards to paperwork for the Inem)- then I signed off again with the (baja.) This they done till 2011 or until I resign again (the alta) to say I am ok recovered.
I also have to go to my GP every week and get a new cirtificate to prove that I am unable to work.
3/ Then I have to go to the other office (Inem) who sort out the payments and documentation.
This I am doing next week as there is a back log.
