Questione giuridica chiave
Whether proceeds from the sale of the property justified imputing waived income in the EL calculation.
Decisione estratta
No imputed income could be charged, because the sale did not create disposable assets and there was no waiver of assets or income.
Motivazione estratta
A waived-income rule requires a true waiver of assets or income. Here the sale price was offset against the mortgage assumed by the son, so no new wealth arose. Without existing assets, no rental or investment income can be imputed, and the authority may not reconstruct a fictitious property position after an otherwise unobjectionable sale.
