The Insurance Court dismissed the application for general housing support, ruling that the applicant was entitled to the housing supplement under the Student Support Act instead. The court found that since the applicant began studies in August 1998, they had no right to housing support until that date, making the general support inapplicable. Consequently, the review board's decision was annulled and the case remitted to the Housing Authority for a new determination based on these findings.

Asumistukilain mukaista asumistukea ei myönnetä yksin asuvalle opiskelijalle, joka on oikeutettu opintotukilain mukaiseen asumislisään. Ottaen huomioon, että A oli aloittanut opiskelun vasta 24.8.1998 lukien eikä hänellä ollut vielä elokuulta 1998 oikeutta opintotukeen ja asumislisään, oli hänellä katsottava muiden edellytysten täyttyessä olevan oikeus yleiseen asumistukeen elokuulta 1998. VakO totesi, ettei ratkaisevana asiassa voitu pitää sitä, oliko A asumistukea hakiessaan ollut tietoinen opiskelemaan pääsystään vai ei. Myöskään A:n opintojen alkamista edeltävää aikaa ei voitu rinnastaa lukukausien väliseen loma-aikaan, jolta opintotuen piirissä oleva henkilö ei ole oikeutettu asumistukeen. Tarkastuslautakunnan päätös kumottiin ja asia palautettiin KELAlle asumistuen myöntämistä varten.
