Notes:
1) This considers persons with recognised disabilities, that is, those with a degree of disability that is greater than or equal  to 33%, according to the assessment procedure set out in RD 1971/1999 and amended by RD 1364/2012.
 2) The results of cells whose value is lower than 5.0 (5,000 persons or households) must be considered cautiously,  as they may be affected by large sampling errors
 3) The data refers solely to persons with disabilities who make Social Security contributions and do so in ordinary  centres. This excludes Special employment centres and those civil servants who make contributions to State Mutual Provident Societies.
