Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the appeal against the Social Security Board's decision to terminate housing support. The Board had gathered tax data from the applicant's parents without notifying the applicant of the new investigation, violating the right to a fair hearing under international agreements. Consequently, the court quashed the Board's decision and remanded the case for full reconsideration by the Social Security Institution.

X:n asumistuki oli lakkautettu asumistukilain 1 §:n 2 momentin perusteella. Tarkastuslautakunta oli hankkinut viran puolesta X:n vanhempien verotietoja. Tarkastuslautakunta oli hylännyt muutoksenhakemuksen asumistukilain 6 §:n perusteella varaamatta X:lle tilaisuutta tulla kuulluksi sen hankkimasta uudesta selvityksestä. Tästä johtuen ja ottaen huomioon myös ihmisoikeuksien ja perusvapauksien suojaamiseksi tehdyn yleissopimuksen 6 artiklan säännökset oikeudenmukaisesta oikeudenkäynnistä, vakuutusoikeus katsoi, ettei valitusasian käsittelyä tarkastuslautakunnalle voitu sanotusta oikeudenkäyntivirheestä johtuen pitää menettelyltään oikeana. Koska X:n asumistukiasian asianmukainen käsitteleminen edellytti asian käsittelemistä Kansaneläkelaitoksessa kokonaisuudessaan uudelleen, vakuutusoikeus kumosi tarkastuslautakunnan päätöksen ja palautti asian Kansaneläkelaitokselle.
