Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a hypothetical earning capacity had to be imputed to the claimant for supplementary benefits purposes until 1 November 2004.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The presumption of an exploitable residual earning capacity was not rebutted for the period up to 31 October 2004; no hypothetical income could be imputed only from 1 November 2004 onward because full incapacity was then established.
Extrahierte Begründung
The IV assessment remained binding until the later deterioration was shown with sufficient probability. The claimant’s age, language situation, residence and work-market conditions did not prove that earning the minimum hypothetical income was practically impossible, and his insufficient job search also spoke against rebuttal of the presumption.
