Kernrechtsfrage
When must interest from a fixed-term bank deposit be included in supplementary-benefit income calculation for a first-time claim?
Extrahierter Entscheid
For an initial EL claim, the term-deposit interest is counted only in the calendar year following the first interest payment under Art. 23 ELV, not from the contract start.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 25 ELV concerns revision of ongoing benefits and does not govern a first determination. Only actually received income available to the claimant may be considered; the first interest accrues on 25 October 2011, so it enters the 2012 calculation.
