Kernrechtsfrage
What rent amount is to be taken into account for the appellant's supplementary benefit calculation from 1 March 2007?
Extrahierter Entscheid
Only the rent actually paid may be taken into account; the cantonal court rightly relied on CHF 8,640 per year, not the higher contractual rent claimed.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Federal Court held that the finding of a fictitious rent was a factual determination binding on it absent manifest error. The appellant did not show that the landlord had ever tried to enforce the higher contractual rent. The claimed amount was also above the statutory maximum for a separated person.
