For the capital in a personal home different rules apply. The surplus of capital should be fully spent on paying the provision. When there is an income on supplementary benefit level and the capital allowed, the ability to pay amounts up to f 186. All supplementary costs made above this amount are reimbursed. When the income is higher than the supplementary benefit level or the person involved has more capital than the amount mentioned, then the ability to pay is higher.
More costs have to be made then in order to be eligible for supplementary benefit.
The council will calculate the ability to pay and whether the person involved is eligible for supplementary benefit. In a dispute, an appeal can be made to the City Council, subsequently at the Provincial Executive and alternatively at the Council of State, department of disputes and administration.
