The Administrative Court allowed the student's claim to have their student loan excluded from income calculations for social assistance. The student, a former business owner with outstanding debts and a loan in default, argued the loan should be considered income. The County Administrative Court ruled that since the loan was not actually received due to default, it could not be treated as available income for determining benefit needs.

Opiskelijan toimeentulotukilaskelmassa oli otettu tulona

huomioon opintolainan määrä, vaikka hän ei ollut sitä

maksuhäiriön vuoksi saanut.

Opiskelija oli entinen yrittäjä, joka oli menettänyt omaisuutensa

yrityksen veloista ja hänellä oli edelleen veroja

muita velkoja ulosotossa.

Lääninoikeus katsoi, että tässä tilanteessa, kun opiskelijan

ensisijainen etuus opintolaina ei ole ollut hänen käytettävissään,

sosiaalilautakunta ei ole voinut lukea opintolainan

määrää hänen tulokseen toimeentulotuen tarvetta mää-

rättäessä.
