Resumo Omnilex

The appeal concerned the suppression of a housing allowance under LGL.39A. The appellant had refused on several occasions to move into cheaper flats proposed by the OCL, invoking reasons of personal convenience such as proximity to a school and public transport. The court held that such considerations are not legally relevant and confirmed the withdrawal of the allowance.

Sumário Omnilex

LGL.39A; housing allowance withdrawn where the beneficiary refuses cheaper accommodation repeatedly proposed by the competent office for reasons of mere personal convenience. Convenience grounds such as proximity to school or public transport do not preserve entitlement; refusal of suitable less expensive housing justifies suppression of the allowance.

Résumé

Confirmation de la suppression de l'allocation, la recourante ayant refusé deux appartements moins chers. Les motifs de convenance personnelle (proximité d'une école, du bus, etc...) ne sont pas pertinents. N'a pas droit à une allocation de logement celui qui a refusé à trois occasions d'emménager dans des logements moins chers proposés par l'OCL pour des motifs de pure convenance personnelle.
