Legislator summary

The County Administrative Court dismissed the student's request for funding a personal assistant, as the Social Board correctly determined the home municipality held exclusive authority. The applicant, a CP-disabled student residing elsewhere, argued that social welfare laws requiring municipalities to provide care did not restrict financial aid under the Disability Services Act. The court ruled that while local municipalities must organize care in urgent cases, this obligation does not extend to granting financial assistance for personal assistants when the applicant's home municipality is different.

Onko oleskelukunta velvollinen käsittelemään hakemuksen, joka

koskee avustuksen myöntämistä henkilökohtaisen avustajan

palkkausmenoihin opiskelijalle vammaispalvelulain nojalla.

CP-vammainen haki avustusta henkilökohtaisen koulunkäynti- ja

vapaa-ajanavustajan palkkaamiseen. Sosiaalilautakunta

hylkäsi hakemuksen sillä perusteella, että vammaispalvelulain

mukaisten etujen myöntäminen kuuluu kotikunnalle eikä

hakijalla ollut kotipaikkaa kunnassa.

Lääninoikeus katsoi, että sosiaalihuoltolaissa ja asetuksessa

olevat säännökset siitä, että kiireellisissä tapauksissa

ja olosuhteiden niin vaatiessa velvollisuus laitoshoidon ja

sosiaalipalvelujen järjestämiseen myös kunnassa oleskelevalle

eivät koskeneet taloudellisten tukitoimien myöntämistä

vammaispalvelulain nojalla opiskelijalle, jonka kotipaikka

on muussa kunnassa.
