Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insured is entitled to a helplessness allowance for light helplessness based on life-practical accompaniment.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The insured had a regular need for life-practical accompaniment outside the home and therefore fulfilled the conditions for light helplessness.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that assistance for errands and contacts outside the home counted as life-practical accompaniment under Art. 38(1)(b) IVV. Although the lower court had reasoned too narrowly on the weekly two-hour threshold, the record showed that all outside-home activities required accompaniment, and common experience established that the regularity requirement was met.
