Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the claimant is entitled to a medium helplessness allowance because of a need for life-practical accompaniment.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The court held that the lower court applied an outdated restrictive understanding of life-practical accompaniment. On the present record, however, the need for such accompaniment was not sufficiently established; further fact-finding was required.
Extrahierte Begründung
Life-practical accompaniment is an independent form of assistance and cannot be limited to persons with psychological or cognitive impairments. The existing medical and assessment reports did not adequately address the situations defined in Art. 38 IVV, so the file had to be supplemented.
