The Insurance Court dismissed the veteran's claim for war injury compensation because the injury was reported after the Finnish-Soviet Armistice of September 4, 1944. The veteran, who served in the German army from 1941 and was captured in 1945, alleged a neck injury in February 1945, which the Accident Institute rejected as occurring post-armistice. The court upheld the rejection, ruling that the statutory notification deadline for pre-armistice injuries had been missed.

Sotilas oli palvellut Saksan armeijassa vuodesta 1941 alkaen ja vuonna 1945 joutunut vankina englantilaiselle sotavankileirille ja palautettu Suomeen vuonna 1946. Hän oli osallistuessaan taisteluun Saksan itärintamalla 25.7.1943 haavoittunut, minkä johdosta suoritetaan sotilasvammalain mukaista korvausta. Vuonna 1981 tapaturmavirastolle saapuneessa hakemuksessa hän oli ilmoittanut haavoittuneensa helmikuussa 1945 niskaan ja anonut siitä korvausta. Tapaturmavirasto oli evännyt korvauksen, koska niskaan haavoittuminen oli ilmoitettu tapahtuneeksi helmikuussa 1945 eli Suomen ja Neuvostoliiton 3.9.1944 solmitun välirauhansopimuksen jälkeen. VAKO ei muuttanut tapaturmaviraston päätöstä. II -jaosto (äänestys 4-1)
