Key legal question
Whether a hypothetical earned income of CHF 10,860 per year could be imputed to the appellant.
Extracted holding
Yes. The legal presumption that a partially disabled person can achieve the minimum income under the EL rules was not rebutted by age, language, health, or work interruption.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant was 48, had lived in Switzerland for over 20 years, and the health limitations were already reflected by the low imputed amount. A work hiatus since 2004 did not disprove capacity for part-time work.
