Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the labor requirement for direct payments was properly established despite the missing Tänikon work report.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The authority could not simply place the burden of the missing report on the applicant; it had to clarify the relevant facts and, at least, allow the applicant to obtain and file the report.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the investigative principle, the authority had a duty to clarify the facts. The report was not among the documents that had to be filed with the application, and the authority had not expressly requested it. The applicant’s later offer to have the report obtained satisfied her duty to cooperate.
