The Insurance Court of Finland dismissed the applicant's request to adjust their pension based on a lower salary earned during a period of sick leave. The applicant argued that the salary during the seven-month sick leave was significantly lower than their previous rate, which should have been recognized as the standard salary for pension calculations. The court ruled that because the sick leave duration exceeded seven months, the lower salary during that specific period could not be treated as the established standard salary for the purpose of the pension adjustment.

Työntekijä oli ollut työsuhteessa 8.12.1966-3.1.1968 ja kuollut 7.2.1968. Työsuhteen kestäessä hän oli ollut noin 7 kuukautta palkattomalla sairauslomalla. Palkan katsottiin olleen sairauden johdosta alhaisemman kuin hänen aikaisempi palkkansa työsuhteen kestäessä. Kun suurempaa palkkaa voitiin pitää vakiintuneena ja tällä seikalla oli olennainen vaikutus eläketurvaan, sovellettiin TEL 7 §:n 2 momenttia. Eläkelautakunnan päätöstä muutettiin.
