Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court could require retroactive PC calculations to deduct annual assumed asset depletion tied to prior PC payments after inheritance.
Decisão extraída
No. The Federal Court found the remand unnecessary; even including the alleged asset depletion, the available assets still justified restitution of the federal supplementary benefits.
Fundamentação extraída
The recalculation would still leave a sufficiently high determining income and assets to cover recognised expenses. The cantonal court's remand therefore had no practical effect on the federal PC restitution issue.
