The State demanded that the widow repay the money, and then a change took place

The Slovenian Ministry of Labor reversed its decision regarding a widow who receives a disability allowance, after being advised by the Human Rights Agency (Varuh). The ministry initially denied the widow’s request to waive inheritance limits, arguing she did not receive other social transfers proving her financial need. However, Varuh pointed out that the disability allowance is a social transfer meant for individuals unable to support themselves due to disability, and thus should be treated like other social benefits. Following this guidance, the ministry changed its stance, acknowledging that the allowance demonstrates state assistance and therefore the state should waive inheritance restrictions. This case has broader implications, potentially affecting future inheritance cases involving individuals receiving similar disability allowances.
