Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant met the good-faith requirement for waiver of the recovered family EL for 1 May to 30 September 2014.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The appellant remained entitled to rely on good faith while the spouse's IV pension was only announced in a pre-notice and no pension payments had yet flowed.
Extrahierte Begründung
A possible duty to report the pre-notice did not matter causally, because disclosure would not have stopped the family EL payments. Expecting reserves for a possible later recovery would be incompatible with the subsistence function of the benefits.
