Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's claim for social assistance, ruling that income from study support disqualified them from eligibility. The applicant argued that study support should not be counted as income, but the court found it constituted regular earnings under the means-tested assistance law. Consequently, the statutory income threshold was exceeded, rendering the assistance claim inadmissible.
