Insurance court rules phone purchase necessary for blind person's mobility and orders coverage.

The insurance court ordered the insurer to cover the costs of purchasing a telephone for a blind person, deeming it essential for their mobility. The plaintiff argued that without a phone, their functional capacity would be severely restricted, while the insurer likely contested the necessity or scope of such an expense. The court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, establishing that acquiring a telephone is a valid measure to support the individual's ability to function independently.
