Key legal question
Whether the restitution debt of CHF 9,974 should be waived under Art. 25 ATSG.
Extracted holding
No waiver: the insured person was not in good faith because he grossly failed to report the detention and subsequent institutional placement; without good faith, hardship need not be examined.
Extracted reasoning
The change in personal circumstances was clearly reportable, the claimant had been warned of the duty to notify, and the long detention plus direct transfer to a measures institution meant he should at least have had serious doubts about entitlement. His psychological difficulties and lower-average cognitive level did not make him incapable of handling administrative matters.
