10 working days (art. 51.9), on the Ministry's e-office. If the notice states another deadline, that one prevails.

Saturdays and Sundays are skipped; a holiday in between adds a day.
Prepared by Radif Partners · Method · Figures re-read in the BOE and the call on 8 November 2026
When the Ministry sees a problem with your application it does not refuse it outright: it warns you first. If a document is missing, it sends a request and you have 10 days from receipt to fix it, or the application is treated as withdrawn (article 51.1 of the call). If the Tax Agency cross-check or academic data do not add up, it notifies a proposed refusal with its reason and gives you time to object; the hearing before the decision is 10 days (article 51.9). Corrections to income or wealth are only accepted as substantiated objections. If the decision is then published and you are still refused, you can lodge an appeal for reconsideration within 1 month from the day after publication, or go straight to a judicial review before the National High Court within 2 months (article 57). Days are working days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Everything is notified on the Ministry's e-office, under «Mis notificaciones», with an email alert.
Three notices, three deadlines
| What you receive | Deadline | How it is counted | Article |
|---|---|---|---|
| Request for documents | 10 days | Working days from receipt | art. 51.1 |
| Proposed refusal | 10 days to object | Working days from notification | art. 51.3 and 51.9 |
| Published decision | 1 month (reconsideration) or 2 (court) | From the day after publication | art. 57 |
Example: a proposed refusal notified on 10 November 2026 allows objections until 24 November 2026, counting working days only; one more day if a holiday falls in between. A decision published that same day allows reconsideration until 10 December 2026.

The most common reasons and what to check
Income: check who is listed as a counted member and which deductions were applied, using the family income calculator. Wealth: review each property, its revaluation year and savings income with the wealth calculator. Performance: confirm the university sent the resit grades and that your field's percentage is right, with the academic requirements tool. Missing documents: uploading them within the deadline is often enough.
How to file objections
Log in to the Ministry's e-office, open the notice in «Mis notificaciones» and follow the procedure link. Explain briefly which figure is wrong and attach the document proving it: a household certificate, the large-family card, a cadastral certificate or your transcript. Keep the filing receipt. The call points out that amending the application cannot touch income or wealth: those only change through a substantiated objection.
This site files no objections or appeals for anyone and has no access to your file. The calendar dates help you see what stage your application has reached.
Two more reasons people forget
The application carries every counted member's signed consent to check their data with other administrations. If it is missing, article 47 of the call orders refusal, because income and wealth cannot be verified. And appeals are not only for those refused: article 57.2 lets anyone who believes they are owed a larger amount appeal too. If a recurso succeeds, the extra amount is paid from the same budget lines but does not count towards the overall cap (article 57.3). Keep every notice and receipt: you may need them for a later appeal.
