Military aid claim dismissed for spouse; court ruled benefit belongs to serviceman, not spouse, due to lack of children.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Administrative Court overturned the Social Board's rejection of a military aid application, ruling that the benefit was intended for the serviceman himself rather than his spouse. The court noted that since the couple had no children, the specific rules regarding dependents did not apply to them. Consequently, the court ordered the case to be reconsidered under provisions allowing the serviceman to claim a portion of living expenses from his own resources.

Sosiaalilautakunta oli hylännyt asevelvollisen sotilasavustushakemuksen,
koska hänen avovaimonsa ei tulojensa perusteella
ollut riippuvainen asevelvollisen antamasta avusta.
Lääninoikeus kumosi sosiaalilautakunnan päätöksen ja palautti
asian uudelleen käsiteltäväksi, koska kysymyksessä ei ollut
asevelvollisen omaiselle vaan asevelvolliselle itselleen
annettava sotilasavustus. Asevelvolliseen ja hänen avopuolisoonsa
ei sovellettu omaisia koskevia säännöksiä, koska heillä
ei ollut lapsia. Yhteisasunnossa asuvalle asevelvolliselle
asumiskulut voidaan korvata hänen omaa osuuttaan vastaavalta
osin.
