Woman forced to return €12,706.87 to Social Security for receiving widow's pension for 2 years without entitlement as first wife of deceased: court 'confirmed'

A woman in Spain received for more than two years part of her ex-husband's widow's pension, after the National Social Security Institute granted her that right in 2016. However, when the second wife claimed and obtained in court the full pension, Social Security demanded the return of €12,706.87. Although the woman claimed to have acted in good faith and correctly communicated her situation, the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia confirmed that the legal obligation to return improperly received benefits remains, even when the error was the organization's own. The court reduced the initial amount of €16,869.68, eliminating interest and surcharges that Social Security failed to justify.
