Résumé

The appellant challenged the denial of a housing allowance after an opening was made between two apartments. The resulting increase in annual cost per room meant that the appellant no longer satisfied the conditions for the allowance. The court therefore rejected the appeal and upheld the refusal of the benefit.

Regest

LGL art. 39A; housing allowance eligibility and increased cost per room: where a structural modification between two apartments leads to an increase in annual cost per room such that the applicant no longer meets the statutory conditions, the allowance must be refused. The decisive factor is the resulting economic burden after the alteration, not the mere existence of the housing arrangement. The court confirms the denial of the benefit when the threshold for entitlement is no longer met.
