Legislator summary

The court modified the Social Security Board's decision to include housing loan interest as housing expenses for the family. The applicant argued that non-payment resulted from temporary financial hardship, but no evidence showed a bank waiver for the period between May 1, 1999, and April 30, 2000. Since the unpaid interest did not alter its status as a housing expense, the court ruled it must be considered when calculating housing support.

A:n asuntolainojen korkoja ei hyväksytty asumisesta johtuviksi menoiksi, koska hän ei pankista saadun tiedon mukaan ollut maksanut niitä vuoden 1999 alkuosan aikana, jonka vuoden toukokuun 1 päivästä lukien vuositarkastus suoritettiin. A:n mukaan korkojen maksamatta jääminen oli johtunut ruokakunnan tuolloisesta huonosta taloudellisesta tilanteesta. Koska asiakirjoista ei ilmennyt, että A olisi ajalla 1.5.1999 - 30.4.2000 saanut pankilta vapautuksen asuntolainojen korkojen maksamisesta ja kun tukikauden aikaisten korkojen mahdollinen maksamatta jääminen esimerkiksi tuenhakijan huonon taloudellisen tilanteen vuoksi ei muuta niiden asemaa ruokakunnan asumismenoina, katsottiin, että mainitut korot tulee ottaa tällaisina menoina huomioon ruokakunnan asumistukea määrättäessä. Tarkastuslautakunnan päätöstä muutettiin.
