Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's claim for a disability pension based on maritime service periods that were too short relative to the onset of disability. The applicant argued for inclusion of service time, but the court noted that service beginning less than one year before disability must be excluded from pension calculations. Consequently, the court ruled that the applicant did not meet the statutory requirements for the pension benefit.

Henkilö oli ollut merimiestoimessa 8.11.73-26.2.1974 ja 13.6.1975-18.8.1975. Merimieseläkekassa epäsi häneltä työkyvyttömyyseläkkeen, koska hänen sairautensa oli alkanut maaliskuussa 1972 ja hän oli saanut sairautensa aikana, jolloin hän ei ollut ollut velvollinen suorittamaan eläkekassalle vakuutusmaksua. Sitä palvelusaikaa, jonka alkamisesta työkyvyttömyyden alkamiseen ei ollut kulunut vähintään yhtä vuotta, ei ole otettava huomioon työkyvyttömyyseläkettä määrättäessä. V -jaosto
