Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a hypothetical income of the appellant's spouse had to be included in the supplementary benefits calculation.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The spouse could reasonably be expected to work, so a hypothetical income had to be taken into account under the rules on divested resources.
Extrahierte Begründung
The spouse was 41, had prior retail experience, no proven medical incapacity, and had not shown that job searches were unsuccessful. Family duties and a minor child did not make employment per se unreasonable.
