Questão jurídica principal
Whether the wife’s hypothetical income may be imputed in the supplementary benefits calculation.
Decisão extraída
Yes. Given the family situation and the wife’s capacity, a 50% outside employment was reasonably expected.
Fundamentação extraída
The spouses live together; the claimant has remaining work capacity; the children were already 12, 14 and 16; no health-based inability of the wife was shown; the imputation is consistent with the duty to mitigate damage and the rules on waived income.
