Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the veteran's request for additional compensation regarding his psychological illness, which the Tapaturmavirasto had initially denied. While the veteran argued that special service conditions exacerbated his condition, the court found no evidence linking military service to the aggravation of his pre-existing head injuries. Consequently, the court ruled that the veteran was not entitled to further compensation under the relevant military injury act.

Sotilasvammalain 10 §; 10 § sotilasvammalain mukaan korvaus myönnetään vain, jos sotapalvelukseen liittyvät olosuhteet ovat olleet erittäin vaativia ja ne ovat olennaisesti vaikuttaneet vammaan; tässä tapauksessa sotapalvelu ei ollut olennaisesti vaikuttanut psyykkiseen sairauteen, joten lisäkorvausta ei myönnetty.

Henkilölle oli muun muassa pään sirpalevammojen johdosta suoritettu sotilasvammalain mukaista elinkorkoa 20 %:n työkyvyttömyysasteen mukaan 15.1.1971 alkaen. Vuonna 1982 hän oli ollut psyykkisen sairauden johdosta sairaalahoidossa ja tapaturmavirastolta oli anottu korvausta näistä sairaalahoitokuluista. Tapaturmavirasto eväsi korvauksen katsoen, ettei henkilön psyykkinen sairaus oikeuttanut sotilasvammalain nojalla korvaukseen. VAKO katsoi sotapalvelukseen liittyneiden erikoisten olosuhteiden olennaisesti vaikuttaneen henkilön psyykkisen sairauden pahentumiseen ja määräsi tapaturmaviraston suorittamaan sen johdosta lainmukaisen korvauksen.
