Key legal question
Whether the repayment claim could be challenged on the ground that benefits were only recoverable from the inheritance partition date.
Extracted holding
The inheritance had to be taken into account from the mother’s death, when the succession opened, not only from the later partition.
Extracted reasoning
Under established case law, the heir acquires the inheritance at death by operation of law; for supplementary benefits, the inherited share forms part of the determining income from that moment, regardless of later division among heirs.
