Valittajalle oli myönnetty kuntoutustukena koulutus suomalaisessa korkeakoulussa ja hän opiskeli venäjän kieltä. Kieliopintoja Pietarin yliopistossa ei pidetty Kansaneläkelaitoksen järjestämästä kuntoutuksesta annetussa laissa tarkoitettuna kuntoutuksena korvattavana ammatillista koulutusta vastaavana opiskeluna. Näin ollen ei korvattu tästä aiheutuvia matkakustannuksia, lukukausimaksuja eikä viisumikuluja. Tarkastuslautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu.
