Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the helplessness allowance could be revised downward from medium to light as of 1 January 2007.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The insured was still dependent on regular and significant help in only three daily life activities, so the criteria for medium helplessness were no longer met.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court accepted the lower court’s factual findings based on the assessment report and found no reviewable error. The report satisfied the requirements of case law; the appellants’ attacks were only an inadmissible challenge to evidence appreciation.
