Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's claim for general housing support after rejecting his study grant application due to poor academic progress. The court held that since the applicant remained a full-time student, he was entitled to a housing supplement under the Study Grant Act, which precluded the separate general housing allowance. Consequently, the request for general housing support was inadmissible as the statutory conditions for its grant were not met.

Study Grant Act; Housing Supplement Act: A student entitled to a housing supplement under the Study Grant Act cannot receive general housing support, as the two benefits are mutually exclusive for full-time students.

Yliopistossa opiskelleen A:n opintotukihakemus oli hylätty, koska hänen edistymistään opinnoissa ei voitu pitää riittävänä. A:n yleistä asumistukea koskeva hakemus oli tämän jälkeen hylätty, koska asumistukea ei voitu myöntää opiskelijalle, jonka opintotukilain mukainen asumislisä on evätty heikon opintomenestyksen vuoksi. Vakuutusoikeus katsoi, että asumistukilain 2 §:n mukaan asumistukea ei myönnetä opiskelijalle, joka opintotukilain mukaan on oikeutettu asumislisään. Asiassa esitetyn selvityksen perusteella A ei ollut keskeyttänyt opintojaan, joten häntä oli edelleenkin pidettävä asemansa puolesta päätoimisena opiskelijana, jonka oikeus asumismenojen tukeen määräytyi opintotukilain asumislisää koskevien säännösten mukaan. Näin ollen A:lla ei ollut oikeutta asumistukeen.

Tarkastuslautakunnan päätöksen lopputulosta ei muutettu.
