Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's request to continue receiving disability pension under the same conditions as the previous period. The applicant had regained capacity in 1967 but became incapacitated again in August 1970, arguing the same underlying illness persisted. The court rejected this, noting that a new period of incapacity requires a fresh assessment of the original illness's status rather than automatic continuation.

Työntekijä oli saanut työeläkelakien mukaista työkyvyttömyyseläkettä 1.1.1965-31.12.1966. Hän oli tullut työkyvyttömäksi uudelleen elokuussa 1970. Hänen oli katsottava edelleen potevan samaa sairautta, ja eläke oli määrättävä samojen perusteiden mukaan kuin aikaisempikin eläke. V -jaosto ETK 13/62, Työeläke 3/78
