Spanish Social Security Form
I am translating a form from the Spanish Social Security Administration and there is a box with a heading "Afectacion actual." I can't find my accent marks at the moment, sorry.
Could this mean: "Current situation?" I have looked at all of the meanings for this "afectacion" in Spanish and English and am not coming up with a translation that I am sure of. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Current situation
"Afectación actual" suena fatal en español...
Encontré esto, como dices, creo que podría traducirse por "Current situation", si es que el caso es el mismo.
AFECTACIÓN ACTUAL:
Varón de 44 años que acude al reconocimiento para valoración de secuelas.
Expediente iniciado instancias de la Mutua.
El paciente sufre dolor intenso lumbar secundario a accidente de trabajo (21-07-04) mientras realizaba un sobreesfuerzo acompañado de postura inadecuada.
En el momento actual, el paciente manifiesta dolor en región lumbar que se intensifica en la sedestación o bipedestación mantenida, irradiado a región posterior de muslo derecho

Current condition
"Afectacion" usually refers to a medical condition, in this case a back injury sustained in the workplace, and the claim is for medical insurance. While reluctant to disagree with "situation", I wouldn't use it myself, since I perceive it as slightly more general.
In usage terms,"medical condition" gets" 27,100,000 Google hits.

I disagree that it's about "entitlement", as I believe it refers specifically to the medical status.
Stephanie: For examples of the use of "afectación"in a medical context, try googling things like "afectación crónica" or "afectación degenerativa", or indeed "afectación lumbar", like the patient in question.

Current Affectation
Affectation is a legal term.
It means that over a possession, good, contract, property or the like there exists a legal imposition, be it a prohibition or a limitation.
It would have been nice to see the whole paragraph.

Thinking it over, it might have been misspelled. It could have been Afección actual, which would mean "current condition". It happens a lot in government forms in latin américa.

I think it migh be something like "current patrimony"
Note from asker:
| I think you may be on to something because this is a letter about social security benefits so "entitlement" would be appropriate. Thank you! |
