The Insurance Court modified the Social Security Board's decision regarding the applicant's pension amount. The Board had excluded renewal fees from radio program broadcasts when calculating the pension, treating them as non-work-related compensation. The court determined these fees were payments for the use of artistic copyright rather than wages for performed labor, thus they were not comparable to work earnings. Consequently, the court allowed the inclusion of these fees in the pension calculation to ensure equitable treatment.

Näyttelijälle radio-ohjelmien uusintaesityksistä maksetut palkkiot eivät olleet TEL-palkkaan verrattavaa työansiota, vaan taiteellisen tekijänoikeuden käyttöoikeudesta suoritettua korvausta, jota ei maksettu vastineena tehdystä työstä. Uusintapalkkioita ei otettu huomioon TEL-eläkkeen suuruutta määrättessä. Eläkelautakunnan päätöstä muutettiin. I -jaosto ETK 26/78, Työeläke 2/83
