Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's request to correct a retroactive pension reduction made by the pension fund. The fund had initially granted a full pension, later switched to a reduced rate due to disability, and finally applied a reduction for overpayments starting in 1980. The court ruled that the Pension Act explicitly prohibits retroactive corrections for overpayments, limiting the fund's authority to adjust payments only from the date of the new decision.

MELA oli myöntänyt luopumiseläkkeen vähennettynä 1.5.1974 alkaen ja täytenä 1.3.1975 alkaen. 16.6.1980 antamallaan päätöksellä MELA oli sen johdosta, että luopujalle oli myönnetty kansaneläkelain mukainen työkyvyttömyyseläke 1.3.1975 alkaen, muuttanut täyden luopumiseläkkeen vähennetyksi 1.1.1976 alkaen. Luopumiseläkelain 8 §:n 2 mom. nojalla eläkelaitos ei voinut suorittaa vähennystä takautuvasti virheellisesti liikaa maksamiensa erien osalta ja määräsi vähennettyä eläkettä suoritettavaksi vasta 1.7.1980 alkaen. Eläkelautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu. III -jaosto
