Key legal question
Whether the EL entitlement could be adjusted retroactively to 1 August 2013.
Extracted holding
Yes. The changed housing situation was relevant from 1 August 2013, when the new apartment was contractually available.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the apartment rent and related housing costs had to be taken into account from the date the dwelling became available, not from the later actual move date. The reassessment was justified under the rules on revision/reconsideration and was not barred by any lack of fault-based reporting breach.
