The Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's claim for reimbursement of new dental prosthetics required due to jaw growth caused by epilepsy medication. The Social Board had previously rejected the request under the Disability Services Act, arguing the prosthetics did not qualify as a prescribed aid or device. The court upheld this decision, confirming that prosthetics resulting from medication-induced side effects fall outside the statutory definition of compensable disability aids.
