Key legal question
Whether a hypothetical annual income of CHF 7,800 may be imputed in supplementary benefits from 1 January 2012.
Extracted holding
Yes. The claimant did not rebut the presumption of waived income and failed to show invalidity-related reasons preventing exploitation of residual earning capacity.
Extracted reasoning
If the minimum threshold in Art. 14a Abs. 2 ELV is not met, a presumption of waiver under Art. 11 Abs. 1 lit. g ELG applies. The claimant bears the burden to prove the contrary and must substantiate invalidity-external obstacles; mere medical complaints or unsupported labor-market assertions are insufficient.
