Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court decision denying a family care allowance. The court found that the appellant's son, receiving a disability pension with a supplement, was ineligible for the family allowance because his income exceeded the statutory minimum threshold. Consequently, the court ruled that only one benefit could be paid, allowing the recipient to choose between the disability supplement and the family care allowance.
