Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for a care allowance for a pensioner filed after the pensioner's death. The applicant argued the allowance was a personal benefit, but the court noted established practice requires such benefits to be claimed while the person is alive. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the statutory conditions for a personal benefit were not met post-mortem.

Vammaisetuuksista annetun lain soveltamista koskevassa vakiintuneessa oikeuskäytännössä on katsottu, että eläkettä saavan hoitotuki on sellainen korostetun henkilökohtainen etuus, jota on haettava henkilön eläessä. Koska hakemus eläkettä saavan hoitotuen myöntämisestä oli toimitettu Kansaneläkelaitokselle vasta henkilön kuoleman jälkeen, eläkettä saavan hoitotukea ei voitu myöntää.
