Abstract
La Ley de Promoción de la Autonomía Personal y Atención a las Personas en Situación de
Dependencia establece como prioritario la concesión de servicios frente a las prestaciones
económicas. Sin embargo, la prestación económica de cuidados en el entorno familiar y
apoyo a cuidadores no profesionales ha pasado de ser la excepción a la norma (incumpliendo el
mandato y el espíritu de la ley), remunerando económicamente las atenciones que prestan las
familias a sus miembros en situación de dependencia. En un escenario de crisis económica, de
disminución de ayudas de protección social y alto desempleo se puede estar transformando en
una renta básica que está permitiendo cubrir, junto a las pensiones de las personas mayores,
las necesidades primordiales de las unidades familiares que se encuentran en situación
económica precaria, pudiendo, en ocasiones, producir un detrimento de la adecuada
atención del titular del derecho.
The Law on the Promotion of Personal Autonomy and Care for Dependent Persons establishes, as its most important, the grant of services rather than financial benefits. However, the benefits for the assistance within the family environment and the support to non-professional carers has gone from the exception to the norm (contrary to the order and the spirit of the law), thus paying for the assistance given by the members of the family to the dependent person. In an economic crisis scene, due to the decrease in the aid for social protection and the high unemployment rate, this economic support may become a basic income that allows covering, together with old people's pensions, the essential needs in the family units in uncertain situation; sometimes leading to the worsening of the dependent persons assistance
