Questão jurídica principal
How material assistance is to be calculated when the recipient lives in a stable cohabitation
Decisão extraída
The recipient may not simply be treated like a married couple; the assessment must account for the actual unequal situation.
Fundamentação extraída
Equality requires that relevant unequal situations be treated differently. Stable cohabitation is not legally identical to marriage, so the same social assistance calculation rules cannot be applied without qualification.
