The Insurance Court overturned the Review Board's decision regarding a minor child living with his adult brother after their mother's death. Although the child's father and grandfather did not contribute to living expenses, the court found the child eligible for family benefits based on his residence. Consequently, the child was legally recognized as part of his brother's household for benefit purposes.

Äidin kuoleman jälkeen alaikäinen A jäi asumaan kahdestaan täysi-ikäisen veljensä kansa. A:n isä ja isän sijaan holhoojaksi määrätty A:n eno eivät itse ottaneet osaa A:n asumismenoihin. Tähän nähden ja koska A:n voitiin holhoojalta käytettävikseen saamiinsa perhe-eläke-, lapsilisä - ja elatustukituloihin nähden itse katsoa huolehtivan asumismenoistaan, häntä pidettiin alaikäisyydestään huolimatta veljensä ruokakuntaan kuuluvana. Tarkastuslautakunnan päätös kumottiin.
