Opinion

DRANGINIS, J.

The issue presented in this appeal is whether a medical incapacity prohibiting an individual from accessing an asset or informing another of the asset's existence renders the asset inaccessible for state administered general assistance (general assistance program) eligibility purposes. General Statutes §§ 17b-111 and 17b-257. Under the circumstances of this case, we conclude that the asset is inaccessible.
