The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for a work-related disability pension submitted by a 59-year-old hydraulic engineer. The applicant argued that his long-term knee injuries and physically demanding travel constituted work-related strain, but the court found no sufficient medical evidence linking the condition to his employment. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the statutory requirements for establishing a work-related disability were not met.

Vesioikeudessa vuodesta 1966 toimineen 59 -vuotiaan vesioikeusinsinöörin katsottiin olleen rasittavassa työssä. Ratkaisua tehtäessä otettiin huomioon vesioikeuden käsittelemien asioiden laatu, työhön kuuluneet vesioikeuden toimialueen laajuudesta johtuneet pitkät ja myös ruumiillisesti rasittavat matkat.
