Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the EL housing cost must be divided by three after the adult daughter moved into the shared apartment, or whether one-half of the rent may still be counted for the claimant.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The rent had to be divided equally among the three adult occupants; no exception justified counting one-half of the rent for the claimant.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 16c ELV applies because the daughter lived in the apartment but was not included in the EL calculation. The daughter’s temporary dependence, use of a separate room, and family relationship did not justify deviating from the default equal division. EL is meant to cover the needs of the persons included in the calculation, not to finance a third person’s housing costs.
