The Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's request to include costs for felling and chipping trees from their yard as a housing deduction for social assistance calculations. The court determined that these expenses constitute general yard maintenance costs regardless of whether the wood is used for fuel. Consequently, the costs do not qualify as heating expenses under the relevant section of the Social Assistance Act.

X oli hallinto-oikeudessa vaatinut, että omalla pihalla kasvaneiden puiden kaadosta ja pilkkomisesta

polttopuiksi aiheutuneet kulut hyväksytään asumismenona toimeentulotukilaskelmalla. Hallinto-oikeus

hylkäsi X:n valituksen ja katsoi, että omien pihapuiden kaadosta ja pilkkomisesta aiheutuneet

työkustannukset ovat omakotitalon pihanhoitokustannuksia siinäkin tapauksessa, että puista saadaan

myös polttopuita. Näin ollen puiden kaadosta ja pilkkomisesta aiheutuneet työkulut eivät ole sellaisia

lämmityskustannuksia, jotka hyväksytään asumismenoksi toimeentulotukilain 7 b §:n perusteella.
