Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court ruled that a disabled person must be fully compensated for the costs of hiring a personal assistant based on the disability's severity. The Social Board incorrectly failed to consider the applicant's income when determining the benefit amount. The court clarified that while income is not a factor, all relevant service costs and fees under the Act on Disability Services must be included in the calculation.

Kun otettiin huomioon neliraajahalvausta sairastavan vammaisen

henkilön vamman laadun ja sen vaikeusasteen aiheuttama

henkilökohtaisen avustajan tarve, vammaiselle oli korvattava

kokonaan sanotun avustajan palkkaamisesta aiheutuneet

kustannukset. Sosiaalilautakunta ei ollut voinut korvauksen

määrää harkitessaan ottaa huomioon hakijan tuloja. Korvauksen

määrää harkittaessa tuli myös ottaa huomioon vammaisuuden

perusteella järjestettävistä palveluista ja tukitoimista

annetun asetuksen 16 §:n 2 momentissa mainitut maksut ja ku-

lut.
