Claimant v. Social Insurance Office: Care Allowance Supplement for Home Care

A claimant appealed a decision by the social insurance office denying an increased care allowance supplement for minors, arguing that the required constant, intensive care needed to sustain life, which was previously approved, still necessitates an increased supplement despite the claimant's transfer to home care following a change in insurance classification. The court reasoned that while the insured moved from institutional to home care, the fundamental need for round-the-clock, intensive life-sustaining care, as established by the initial medical findings, remains the decisive factor for granting the higher supplement, thus requiring the insurance office to re-evaluate the necessity based on the persistent requirement for intensive care, regardless of the care setting.
