The Government seeks to terminate more than 220,000 fraudulent disability pensions

The audits being carried out by the Government of Javier Milei, through the Ministry of Health of the Nation and the National Disability Agency (ANDIS), on the universe of more than 1,800,000 beneficiaries of Non-Contributory Pensions with a Single Disability Certificate (CUD) revealed situations ranging from the absurd to the outrageous. A large part of these benefits, especially those granted under the criterion of Labor Disability, were awarded as part of a policy of arbitrary subsidies during the administrations of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Alberto Fernández, instead of responding to rigorous medical evaluations and genuine social needs linked to situations of vulnerability. The irregularities detected are alarming: certificates accrediting nonexistent amputations, a single X-ray used in 150 different files, unusual diagnoses like "flat foot", a woman who impersonated her husband by disguising herself, inmates from the penitentiary system who attended evaluations, and even deceased individuals who continued to receive the monthly $270,000 state benefit.
