Questione giuridica chiave
Whether social assistance could be refused because family members had signed a financial undertaking for the applicant.
Decisione estratta
The refusal was not tenable on the basis of presumed or hypothetical family support; the authority had to establish whether the applicant actually received sufficient help to cover vital needs.
Motivazione estratta
Subsidiarity under social welfare law covers only actually available and timely support. A mere undertaking toward the authorities does not replace proof of effective assistance, and if third-party support is delayed or absent, transitional assistance or advances may be required.
