Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court dismissed the appeal against a decision rejecting compensation for a music computer purchased as a disability support tool. The applicant failed to demonstrate that the device was necessary for daily functioning or that its cost was directly caused by the injury. Consequently, the court ruled that the expense did not qualify as a special disability-related cost under the relevant statutes.

Sosiaali- ja terveyslautakunta oli pysyttänyt viranhaltijapäätöksen,jolla

oli hylätty A:n hakemus saada vammaispalvelulain

nojalla korvausta musiikkitietokoneen hankkimisesta

aiheutuneisiin kustannuksiin harrastuksen tukemisen apuvälineenä.

Lääninoikeus katsoi, ettei musiikkitietokone ollut A:n vamman

vuoksi tarpeellinen hänen päivittäisistä toiminnoista suoriutumisessaan

kotona tai vapaa-ajan toiminnassa. Harrastusvälineiden

hankkimisesta aiheutuneita kustannuksia voidaan korvata

silloin, kun niihin sisältyy sellaisia erityiskustannuksia,

jotka johtuvat vammasta tai sairaudesta. A ei ollut

esittänyt selvitystä siitä, että musiikkitietokoneeseen olisi

liittynyt tällaisia kustannuksia. Lääninoikeus hylkäsi vali-

tuksen.
