Key legal question
Whether monthly advances on an invalidity pension must be included in the determination of income for a housing allowance under Art. 31c para. 1 LGL.
Extracted holding
Yes. Monthly advances on the invalidity insurance pension are part of the determining income and must be taken into account in calculating the housing allowance.
Extracted reasoning
The advances are treated as an integral component of the recipient's income for purposes of Art. 31c para. 1 LGL, so they cannot be excluded from the income assessment.
