The Insurance Court dismissed the appeal against the study support committee's decision to deny temporary residence status. The applicant had lived in Australia for five years before returning to Finland for university, arguing family history should influence the temporary stay assessment. The court ruled that family background is irrelevant and focused solely on the applicant's actual behavior and circumstances, finding the stay non-temporary.

A oli muuttanut Australiaan vuonna 1993 ja opiskellut siellä viisi vuotta ennen yliopisto-opiskeluaan Suomessa. VakO katsoi, että arvioitaessa sitä, onko henkilön oleskelu ulkomailla opintotukilaissa tarkoitetulla tavalla tilapäistä, ei A:n esittämälle selvitykselle sukunsa historiasta voida antaa juurikaan painoa, vaan tarkastelun kohteena on opintotuen hakijan oma käyttäytyminen ja olosuhteet. A:n oleskelua ulkomailla ei voitu pitää tilapäisenä oleskeluna. Opintotuen muutoksenhakulautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu. Valitus hylättiin.
