20It follows from that judgment that benefits intended to cover the risk of old age of a third party assisting a person reliant on care, such at those provided for by the care insurance system, also constitute ‘sickness benefits’ payable to the person reliant on care, within the meaning of Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation No 1408/71. There are no circumstances peculiar to the present case which call for that assessment to be revised.
