The ward is to apply the following:
1. under section 87 of Book 12 of the Social Code (Sozialgesetzbuch) the ward’s income, to the extent that, together with the income of their spouse or life partner who is not living apart, it exceeds the relevant income limit under sections 82, 85 (1) and 86 of Book 12 of the Social Code for help under Chapters 5 to 9 of Book 12 of the Social Code. If, in the individual case, the provision of part of the income to satisfy a particular need as part of the help under the Chapters 5 to 9 of Book 12 of the Social Code is required to be accepted or demanded, this part of the income may no longer be taken into account in the assessment as to how far the provision of the income is to be used to pay the costs of the guardianship. Income is also deemed to include maintenance claims and the annuities payable by reason of the revocation of such a claim;
2. their assets under section 90 of the Book 12 of the Social Code (Sozialgesetzbuch).
