Information Note on the Court’s case-law 41
April 2002
Larioshina v. Russia (dec.) - 56869/00
Decision 23.4.2002 [Section II]
Article 3
Degrading treatment
Inhuman treatment
Amount of old-age pension and social benefits allegedly insufficient to maintain adequate standard of living: inadmissible
The applicant complained, inter alia, about the amount of the old-age pension and additional social benefits she received from the social security authorities. She alleged that it was insufficient to maintain an adequate standard of living.
Inadmissible under Article 3: A complaint about a wholly insufficient amount of pension and other social benefits may, in principle, raise an issue under Article 3. However, in the present case there is no indication that the amount of the applicant’s pension and additional social benefits caused damage to her physical and mental health capable of attaining the minimum level of severity required by Article 3: manifestly ill-founded.
