Key legal question
Whether the child was entitled to a medium-rate helplessness allowance already from 2004-12-01 instead of only from 2005-04-01
Extracted holding
Yes. The child already had the relevant increased need for assistance and supervision by December 2004.
Extracted reasoning
The child’s autism caused a level of constant personal care and intensive supervision that went beyond what healthy children of the same age require; the canton court’s factual findings were not shown to be plainly wrong.
