Key legal question
Whether the appellant retained a right to supplementary benefits from 1 January 2009 with her children counted separately.
Extracted holding
No. The children’s supplementary-benefit calculation must again be made together with the rent-eligible parent with whom they live, so the appellant had no separate entitlement.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 9 ELG and Art. 7 ELV, decisive is with whom the children live, not custody. The transitional rule in SchlBest ELV is a temporary grandfathering provision and does not apply once the children again live with the rent-eligible parent in the same household.
