The Supreme Court ordered the payment of a maintenance pension to a 57-year-old widow whose application was initially rejected by the Accident Insurance Institution. The applicant lived on a small farm with her son, possessing minimal assets and work capacity. The court ruled that these limited resources rendered her unable to maintain a reasonable standard of living, thereby mandating the pension.

57 -vuotias henkilö oli hakenut huoltoeläkettä sodan johdosta kuolleen ensimmäisen miehensä jälkeen. Hän asui yhteistaloudessa ansiotyössä käyvän poikansa kanssa tämän toisessa paikkakuntakalleusluokassa olevassa kunnassa sijaitsevalla 5 hehtaaria peltoa ja 20 hehtaaria metsää käsittätävällä tilalla, jolla pidettiin yhtä lehmää ja hieman lihakarjaa. Tapaturmavirasto hylkäsi hakemuksen, koska hänen ei voitu katsoa olevan vailla kohtuullista elatusta. VAKO hylkäsi valituksen. III -jaosto KKO 17.12.1982 määräsi huoltoeläkkeen suoritettavaksi, koska hakijan työja ansiokyky ja varallisuus olivat niin vähäiset, että hänen oli katsottava olevan vailla kohtuullista elatusta. (Sotilasvammalain soveltamisalan laajentamisesta annettu laki 3 § 2 mom.)
