Questão jurídica principal
Whether the brother’s compensation qualifies for reimbursement as family-care costs under Art. 13b ELKV.
Decisão extraída
No. A reimbursable family member must suffer both a longer-lasting and substantial loss of earnings; five workdays do not satisfy the duration requirement.
Fundamentação extraída
The duration element must exceed a few days and cannot be diluted by the caregiver’s low income. The purpose of the rule is to exclude minor help normally provided within the family circle.
