The Administrative Court of Lapland allowed a claim for financial assistance to purchase a vehicle, rejecting the social board's refusal based on the applicant's existing monthly disability transport services. The applicant argued that daily mobility was already secured by twelve parallel trips per month, yet the board denied the car purchase aid under the relevant disability act provisions. The court ruled that the social board erred in dismissing the request solely because alternative transport services were already granted, finding no legal basis to exclude the vehicle purchase aid in this scenario.

Vammaispalvelulaki 1 §; Vammaispalvelulaki 5 §; Vammaispalvelulaki 9 § 1 mom; Vammaisavustusasetus 17 §: The court held that granting disability transport services does not preclude a separate claim for financial aid to purchase a vehicle, as the two benefits serve distinct purposes and the social board cannot deny one based on the existence of the other.

Oikeuskysymyksenä oli, voitiinko A:n hakemus saada vammaisuuden

perusteella järjestettävistä palveluista ja tukitoimista

annetun lain nojalla avustusta henkilöauton hankkimisesta aiheutuneiden

kustannusten johdosta hylätä muun muassa sillä

perusteella, että hänelle oli jo myönnetty hakemuksensa mukaisesti

vaikeavammaisten kuljetuspalveluina 12 yhdensuuntaista

matkaa kuukaudessa.

A:n anottua edellä mainitun lain nojalla avustusta henkilöauton

hankkimisesta aiheutuneisiin kustannuksiin sosiaalilautakunta

oli hylännyt hakemuksen muun muassa sen vuoksi,

että A:n jokapäiväinen liikkuminen oli turvattu vaikeavammaisten

kuljetuspalveluilla.

Lääninoikeus katsoi, kun otettiin huomioon edellä mainitun

lain 9 §:n 1 momentin ja vastaavan asetuksen 17 §:n säännökset,

että sosiaalilautakunnan ei olisi A:lle myönnettyihin

kuljetuspalveluihin vedoten tullut hylätä A:n hakemusta.
