Sintesi Omnilex

In a housing allowance matter, the court held that a 10% increase in income constitutes a significant change in circumstances within the meaning of Art. 29(1) RLGL. The decision treats even modest income variations as relevant for reassessing entitlement to the allowance. The authority’s assessment was therefore upheld.

Massima Omnilex

Art. 29 al. 1 RLGL; modification of income as a significant change in housing allowance entitlement: any change in income, even slight, may qualify as a materially relevant alteration of the allowance situation when it can affect eligibility or the amount of the benefit. An increase of 10% is sufficient to constitute such a significant change (consid. unspecified).
