The Supreme Administrative Court allowed the applicant's claim for travel costs to Finland, overturning the Helsingin Social Board's 2004 rejection. The applicant, a resident of Egypt since 1999, sought reimbursement for expenses incurred to travel to Finland for social assistance benefits. The court ruled that the statutory provisions permitting travel cost claims were not inapplicable to the applicant's specific circumstances, thereby granting the financial support.
