Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insured person was entitled to a diet-cost lump sum from 1 January 2019 under supplementary benefits law.
Decisão extraída
The insured person did not prove medically caused extra dietary costs that were specifically and perceptibly higher than ordinary food expenses; therefore no entitlement to the lump sum existed from 1 January 2019.
Fundamentação extraída
Although a medically necessary diet was accepted, the court held that current market conditions no longer supported a general life-experience presumption that such diets necessarily create noticeable extra costs. Without that presumption, concrete proof of expenses was required, and no receipts or comparable evidence were produced.
