The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for a family pension because the deceased applicant had never applied for a disability pension while alive. The court determined that the applicant was considered disabled only at the time of death, which legally prevented the pension from being classified as a free-pension. Consequently, the decision by the Pension Board was upheld without modification.
