IVV; Dritter Abschnitt: Die Renten, die Hilflosenentschädigung und der Assistenzbeitrag ; D. Die Hilflosenentschädigung
Art. 38 IVV · Lebenspraktische Begleitung
Ein Bedarf an lebenspraktischer Begleitung im Sinne von Artikel 42 Absatz 3 IVG liegt vor, wenn eine volljährige versicherte Person ausserhalb eines Heimes lebt und infolge Beeinträchtigung der Gesundheit: a. ohne Begleitung einer Drittperson nicht selbstständig wohnen kann; b. für Verrichtungen und Kontakte ausserhalb der Wohnung auf Begleitung einer Drittperson angewiesen ist; oder c. ernsthaft gefährdet ist, sich dauernd von der Aussenwelt zu isolieren.
Die versicherte Person behält ihren Anspruch auf eine Hilflosenentschädigung nach Artikel 42 Absatz 3 IVG, wenn sie Anspruch auf eine Invalidenrente der IV hat, ihr diese wegen des Vorbezugs eines Teils ihrer Altersrente der AHV aber nicht ausbezahlt wird.
Zu berücksichtigen ist nur die lebenspraktische Begleitung, die regelmässig und im Zusammenhang mit einer der Situationen nach Absatz 1 erforderlich ist. Nicht darunter fallen insbesondere Vertretungs- und Verwaltungstätigkeiten im Rahmen von Massnahmen des Erwachsenenschutzes nach den Artikeln 390–398 des Zivilgesetzbuches .
