  • Failure to comply with the two previous paragraphs, when variations that have not been communicated would result in a reduction or cancellation of the benefit, will be considered an infringement according to Section 2, Chapter 3 of the Welfare Penalties and Sanctions Act, approved by Legislative RD  5/2000, of 4 August.
