- Abstract
- Personal assistance is a relief effort of great importance for people with disabilities. Two recent court cases, HFD 2012 ref. 41 and HFD 2015 ref. 46, have however resulted in several individuals losing their existing personal assistance and an increasing number of application rejections. It is the court’s interpretation of the term basic needs in the cases that has caused this restrictive tendency.
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how compatible the court’s interpretation of the term basic needs is in terms of the legislator's purpose of offering personal assistance in the first place.

- Personlig assistans är en viktig stödinsats för personer med funktionshinder. Två rättsfall på senare tid, HFD 2012 ref. 41 samt HFD 2015 ref. 46, har dock medfört att flera brukare fått sin assistans indragen samt att fler fått avslag på sin ansökan om personlig assistans.

Slutsatsen är att det finns anledning att ifrågasätta domstolens tolkning i ljuset av både lagtext samt förarbeten. Men rättsområdet är komplext och domstolen har ett vidsträckt tolkningsutrymme för att kunna ta hänsyn till omständigheterna i det enskilda fallet. (Less)
