Résumé Omnilex

The case concerns a beneficiary of housing support who failed to notify the OLS of an increase in income. The authority issued a retroactive surcharge decision. The court held that, under RLGL.11 al. 3, the omission of the mandatory notification justified the retroactive surcharge, and the decision was upheld.

Regeste Omnilex

RLGL.11 al. 3; duty to notify changes in income affecting entitlement; where the beneficiary fails to report an increase in income, the authority may impose a retroactive surcharge to correct the support situation. The decisive element is the breach of the reporting obligation; no prior warning is required once the change should have been declared.
