The Administrative Court of Uusimaa allowed the applicant's request for a financial aid emergency phone, overturning the Social Board's rejection. The Social Board had denied the claim because the emergency phone was not considered a benefit under the Disability Services Act, arguing it could only be granted as home care support under the Social Services Act. The court ruled that since the applicant lacked sufficient alternative support, the emergency phone constituted a valid financial aid measure under the specific provisions of the Disability Services Act.

Vammaispalvelulain 9 § 1 mom; Vammaispalvelulain 17 §: The Social Board may deny a claim for emergency phone service if the applicant can receive adequate support under other laws, but must grant it as financial aid when no other sufficient measures exist.

Sosiaalilautakunta oli hylännyt A:n hakemuksen saada vammaiselle

myönnettävänä taloudellisena tukitoimena turvapuhelin,

koska turvapuhelin ei ollut sellainen etuus, joka

olisi voitu myöntää vammaispalvelulain nojalla.

Turvapuhelin oli sellainen etuus, joka voitiin myöntää

vammaisuuden perusteella järjestettävistä palveluista ja

tukitoimista annetun lain 9 §:n 1 momentin nojalla. Koska

sanotun lain 9 §:n 1 momentissa tarkoitettuja tukitoimia

järjestetään silloin, kun vammainen henkilö ei saa riittäviä

ja hänelle sopivia tukitoimia tai etuuksia muun lain nojalla

ja koska sosiaalilautakuna oli ilmoittanut, että se myöntää

turvapuhelimia sosiaalihuoltoasetuksen mukaisena kotipalvelun

tukipalveluna, lautakunta oli voinut hylätä A:n

hakemuksen.
